Firefox, my brother started using it when I was like 11, and then I caught on. It's must faster than IE and I haven't tried IE7 but don't want to bother going back either. I also have Chrome but I found FireFox to be faster and theres been a few issues on Chrome when loading certain websites.
Both run on Windows XP
Safari V 5.0 with the Glims plugin. The activities window is helpful for downloading stuff like YouTube videos. Plus, I've used Safari since I got my Mac, and I don't change very often.
lol I think this poll might suffer from the problem of most IE users not knowing or caring what browser they use, thus skewing the results wildly.
there's nothing really being messed with, is there? it's a valid answer. sure, it's the most common answer IE users will report; but it's hardly wrong.Quote:

I've posted here before getting opera. Now that I've tried it I really like it, but I've grown fond of Chrome and it's style, and don't see too much of a reason to use opera instead. Except in the case of my laptop where for some reason out of the blue Chrome just stopped working on it or even opening, and I couldn't successfully re-install it either. So on my laptop I use opera and it seems to me to be very reliable, I haven't had any real problems with it. I don't even think it's ever crashed.
Has it already been said that customizable systems are the hipster of the future?
Gentoo is for hipsters!Quote:

Sorry for being off topic, but I have come across numerous articles about hipsters and what they're supposed to be about. Loss of identity, consuming culture as opposed to being a counter culture and apparently you see them in every major American and European city. Well... I live in a major European city and I have no idea what's up. As far as I know they and people complaining about them only exist in the internet. Can someone fill me in?
Apparently it's not out for macintosh yet?Quote:

So here, hipsterdom would be jumping on the open-source bandwagon without any resolve to learn the language, or using firefox solely because it's not IE (without knowing why IE is terrible. Conversely, a hipster would only see differentiability between the two by using firefox personas.).Quote:

It may be that hipsterdom is just be called indie here.
There are so many hipsters in NYC. I don't mind them. Why would I anyway? :p I find there is this whole huge hate thing against hipsters, which is amusing. Hipsters are amusing. Hipster hate is amusing. (Not calling you a hipster hater btw Abra)
I use Chrome. It's beautiful.
But I am an hipster. 'Cept for the 80's nerdvomit.Quote:

Firefox because it's beast.
Safari 5, because it's amazing. I also have Firefox, Chrome and Opera installed. I like the simplicity of Chrome, too, but Firefox just seems bloated to me.
Firefox!!! My favorite one for years!:bowdown:
Why is there no Chrome option? :l
Considering it's more popular than Safari and Opera put together. :l
Probs cos the poll was made in 2007. :l
I use Chrome. :l
I've tried FF and Chrome, and Firefox wins. Still use chrome once in a while...mostly for checking to see whether or not a page is actually busted, or if my browser is just spazzing out. I just love Firefox's customizability and massive sea of great addons. Chrome is starting to catch up with extensions, but I still think Firefox gives you greater freedom to do what you want to it. On a newer system, the difference in speed between the two browsers is marginal to nonexistent.
I use firefox
Mostly because IE sucks, and firefox has a bunch of sweet plugins
I have
AdBlock Plus (blocks commercials/ads, including the stupid CBS commercials on youtube)
YouTube Downloader
And a couple others
Chrome, because Firefox and IE are too slow on this computer.
Chrome. I'm not happy.
Get Opera.Quote:
