NFT: What is your favorite browser?

I've been using Chrome for a pretty long while now without much issue.

.

for google chrome

to Chrome a few years ago, very happy with it

.

using chrome these days you're fuckin up... i also suggest the ad blocker add on as well as grammarly... both are free and work great with chrome

.

videos i mean

to Chrome a couple of weeks ago. I was also very irritated with Firefox. So far, much better.

or stay home.

.

Firefox is in bed with Yahoo for some reason -- they keep fkking with the browser -- they changed my setting constantly

For me as well.

Internet Explorer as my fallback

The Federalist website recommended it.....

I've noticed internet explorer appears to have crapped the bed a bit

Maybe I'll switch to chrome

although no browser is guaranteed to work with all sites. Chome has the fastest rendering of any of the major browsers, its got lots of plugins and extensions and it can be customized for each site. For instance you can disable javascript on sites where it is a pain ( i.e. the New York Times ) but leave it intact for sites the must have it ( i.e. Facebook ). Its also got a built in Flash renderer for those sites that still require Flash ( i.e. mlb.com )

The one downside of Chrome and upside of Firefox is that Chrome forces you to upgrade. If one of their updates is buggy, to bad. Its very difficult to circumvent the auto upgrading with Chrome. Firefox also auto upgrades by default, but its easy to turn it off and make it optional. For additional stability you can use Firefox ESR. Upgrades are much less frequent

works well...

I've been too lazy to ditch my Yahoo e-mail accounts, but Yahoo is crap too.

Does anyone use MS Edge? Is it just the next version of IE?

MS DOS

as a straight browser. The only reason I don't use Opera as I like the integration of Chrome with other google things.

Works well with the other Google features and never seems to freeze up or have issues.

are Chromium (Open Source Chrome, not sure if you can get it for Windows. I use Linux) and Opera.

Opera is lightning fast and has all the bells and whistles of the other browsers.

But it does eat up a ton of RAM especially the more tabs/windows open and if you have a bunch of extensions running too.

Safari is great, if you have a Mac/iOS device. It's my preferred personal browser.

But recently switched back to FF with the new Quantum release. Much faster then it was.

I still use chrome for debugging for work, but I use firefox a lot more now.

never used anything else.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

If you like the way that Firefox used to look, give the Pale Moon browser a try- its been my daily browser for years...

If you decide that Chrome is more your thing, the Epic browser is a nice choice- it bills itself as a "privacy browser" and works very well...

I'm going to take a look at these, thanks. Chrome is an absolute resource hog. The new Firefox is pretty decent, but it's always worth a look.

the newest version is much better.

Tor and Opera VPN for anonymity
IE for google voice (I don’t have a landline or cell)

ASCII pr0n is the best.

I also use Chrome but not as much as Firefox.

Me too...Never looked back.

got fed up with Firefox a few years ago.

But, I'm getting close to ditching Firefox altogether. They recently upgraded to what was supposed to be a leaner and faster experience. On the contrary, I have days where virtually every site hangs for more than a minute or needs to be reloaded altogether. It is not a network issue, as the same sites load with no problem on Chrome on the same network.

I really like the ability to have my startup page be a graphical picture of all my bookmarks. I just click on the block that says BBI and away i gho.

chrome and Firefox on Mac have terrible memory leak issues

which forces a Mac user to use safari. the browser created by apple
hmmmm wonder why this happens...

but i've been on Chrome for the last few years exclusively. No reason to use anything else.

I use Linux

I've got a Linux Mint problem I'd love to find a simple solution to.

I had been downloading regular updates and foolishly ignoring the "Low Disk Space on Filesystem root" warning.

I guess I went too far because now I can't get into Linux Mint at all.

Garbage Windows is also on the same machine, so I've been using that. I've been searching for a solution, but haven't found a clear one that seems to match my issue. Would you have an idea?

but the pendulum is swinging back in FF's direction. Chrome is a resource hog and all the plugins I use work with FF without the performance issues
