Thread: What Web Browser do you use and why?

I was checking out a site to download Chromium from, but my computer wasn't on the list of compatible systems.

try

Code:

you@your-machine:/~$ sudo apt-get install chromium

. This (or a variant involving pacman instead of apt-get) should work on all real operating systems.

I use Firefox with the Vimperator extension so I don't have to reach for a mouse. It does more for productivity than pretty much anything besides a tiling window manager. I'll probably use Chromium with the Vrome extension when the latter matures a bit. It doesn't feel very responsive to keypresses right now.

It's refreshing to see that Arch Linux is gaining popularity.

Firefox. Cause Internet Explorer sucks on so many different levels and Chrome seems to make my laptop cook itself.

On Linux, I use Firefox too, and Konquer is the Linux version of IE.

I used Epiphany on Linux for a bit because it was the fastest browser I've ever used (GC, IE, Safari, and FF all being taken into account), but I went back to FF because of the addons I've become so reliant on. That's why I use it: addons, RSS feeds in my bookmarks toolbar, and overall familiarity.

Google Chrome... Everything else in comparison feels like slugs on my computer...

I hated IE for a while since it just sucked so bad, but lately they've been uping there game.. But it still can't beat Chrome...

My previous browser was Mozilla Firefox.. It was awesome at the time, but Chrome came out.. So that went.. Plus Chrome looks awesome aswell, so...

Chrome/Chromium all the way these days. Whether I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx or Windows Vista (ugh, only for the necessities like Photoshop), Chrome is my main browser. With the advent of extensions and a few carefully selected bookmarklets (I freakin' love Quix, all hail Yoast!), Chrome does everything I need it to, and faster than Firefox at that. I still use Firefox for FireFTP, Web Developer Toolbar (the Chrome version is not nearly as good, not sure why) and of course, FireBug, but for anything outside of web development, Chrome wins.
