Thread: Which PC browser do you prefer

OK so I thought I would start a thread on which browser for the PC you prefer (jlevy and his mac need not post:banana. As some of you know I recently bought a netbook for my everyday use and to have a quick and easy place that has all my Blackberry stuff stored on it. So when I got this bad boy set up I immediately set up Firefox (my preferred choice), and had no issues in the beginning. Now I like FF for all the plug ins and themes that I can use with it. But since the new site switchover it started running very slow so I thought I would test out some different ones. I downloaded Chrome and love how fast and minimal it is ( I do miss the plug ins and themes). Will then the other night is stopped saving passwords so I deleted it in anger. So next on my list was Opera, now this one I liked a lot. Loved the look and all around set up. Super fast (not as fast as chrome) but quicker then FF. It also has a password keeper and personal info auto fill which I really liked. But this morning I found out no spell check! So out went opera (can't operate without spell check). I thought about IE 8 but I haven't been a fan of IE for so many years, I just can't bring myself to do it LOL. So I reinstalled Chrome and so far it is saving all my passwords and I am happy, but I am curious as to what browsers you prefer and why?


I also tried Safari but it did not run nice on the netbook, but I did love it for the PC.

Firefox. Can't live without the web development extensions and ad blocker. The only thing is I wish FF was as fast as Chrome. I've got other extensions that make FF virtually fullscreen all the time.

I have tried all of them, and now I'm on FireFox 3.5 the beta, and is awesome for me it has everything I need.

Firefox is the way to go!!!

I can't help but wonder if it has anything to do with the amount of RAM.

Go to the FF download page and look for the link there or google firefox 3.5 beta.

You know, is not for me if isn't in beta

Yeah normally I would agree with you but ever other browser is super fast except FF. I knew going into this netbook that I would have to expect slowness since I am coming from a PC with 3 gigs, but I haven't really been disappointed except on the FF side of browsing.

Bryan, you should have added a poll so people could vote

OK, I guess I'm in the minority, but I use Chrome exclusively now. I used FF for years but now Chrome is top dawg for me. I love the fact that I can click the icon and it pops up immediately. I can open Chrome and reply to a new post before FF even launches. :lmao:

Haha Olta, I did it for him :lmao:

When I am using my Mac Safari IMO is the best followed by Firefox.

On my PC, they all sucks... just kidding. I generally use Chrome or Firefox I go back and forth between the two because FF is so damn slow.

I have to admit though. I do like the WYSIWYG in IE though. It's nice when you are typing up a post with pics, urls & colors.

It's great if you get used to it. It's small and fast as heck!
