SRWare Iron
Internet explorer
Google chrome
Firefox
Opera
Safari
Rockmelt

none______

palemoon.


btw: if anyone is going to post "chrome", they didn't read the 'privacy' part :)

Windows ships with IE, that's what most customers use. That's what you should base most of your testing with.

IE 9 sucks balls.

I like previous versions. Hate tabs.

SRWare Iron. As fast as Chrome but without the tracking.

never heard of SRWare Iron :)
btw using Opera for adult stuff

will check SRWare Iron, looks interesting

Mosaic is the best. Mosaic FTW!

Opera here

Chrome gave it away for me so far, gonna stick with it for a while

SRWare Iron very, very good privacy browser

Opera for sure! :thumbsup

I love chrome

Opera is the best for me :thumbsup

Firefoxxxxx

Firefox 4 is nice, Chrome is fastest but spying as hell!

Had to switch to Chrome because FF screwed up somehow I don't remember, but little things that are different in Chrome are starting to really piss me off. Like the buggy saved login system.

Actually SRWare Iron is 3 times faster then Chrome. They both use the Chromium open source, but SRWare Iron does not track and invade your privacy the way Google Chrome does.

i prefer chrome, but its not private.. just quick with good tools and nav

Dazzling, what's with your obsession with srware iron? You've made 3 or 4 threads about it, it's in your signature.. What's up?

As a developer, I use firefox because nothing tops the tools and functionality it has for developers.

Work stuff I use Firefox, just surfing I use Chrome.

I use old and new versions ie, ff, chrome and sometimes opera between 2 pcs since I usually have to test with those, but may try that SRWare one for personal stuff. Thanks for the info.

I prefer Firefox!

"Best" is subjective to what you like in a browser.

That being said, I prefer Chrome because SPEED is the most important to me.

for those who were wondering: palemoon = firefox with 99% less memory leaks.

Chrome is the best browser nowadays. Firefox was up until recently.

I thought I turned that off on installation - isn't it an elective thing?

I use all four major browsers because they're all better than others at somedamnthing...

:D

IE 6 FTW :thumbsup

safari...or FF on UBUNTU

Chrome or Safari whether i am on PC or Mac.

if you don't mind the privacy leaks...

Mac...

8Chrs

When it comes to productivity, nothing beats k-meleon

BTW, I hate this no-menu on top trend, wtf is the use of larger work area if I have to spend minutes finding the well-hidden options

i vote chrome

firefox has always been my choice, much faster than ie, chrome is also pretty good

You can not turn that of in chrome

Problems with chrome

It gets deleted when Chrome checks first time for updates.If Chrome is received as part of a promotional campaign, it may generate a unique promotion number which is sent to Google on the first run and first use of Google Chrome.

:thumbsup I find ie is so damn slow.. waiting for the pages :(

I use chrome, but id be interested to see a vote thread to see who uses what.

IE 9 sometimes ;) damn with Mozzila I have too much problems

Ive just downloaded Rockmelt, looks fast so far :)

rephrase... back to google :2 cents:

Just downloaded opera after not liking rockmelt...

Yes bro.. Nice set up, very spaceage & seems to run very fast. It seems to take over everything without prompting.. :( but, as long as it works well, Im happy. :)

Sorry to be trolling this thread :( Im seriously not... but most of all, take me as your tryout guy :)

Ive just swapped back to chrome. Opera is so packed with technology, the flash slows it down compared...

My favourite is still Chrome :)

It's my own GECKO powered compilation of old FF and new FF + some more custom stuff. It has no name, well not official because only I use it. Now if we talk about all the mass crap then we have problematic matter. FF was good once in the old 2.0 times the new FF is ugly, buggy and overloaded with Google stuff (all can be stripped though if you are willing to make your own build, it is open source so you are allowed to do what you want with it except using Mozilla trademarks) FF is supported by many useful plugins written by some great programmers too.

As for what should interest webmasters the most which has the most up to date support for the new HTML5 and CSS3 goodness. FF4 and newer Aurora, Nightly etc., right after newest FF I would place Chromium family (Iron, Chrome or Pure chromium binaries). I've checked it. Opera, SeaMonkey and other are behind and too fucking bad because if not that and that Opera's (Spy)Googleware Opera would be quite nice browser.

Internet explorer - Hell no, maybe 6.0 when run on WinXP, it's hard to get anything faster but I wouldn't browse with it anything that is not mine or that I don't know well. Obviously that would be dangerous. 7, 8, 9, and everything newer is and it will suck.

Safari - Please...

Rockmelt - Never tried and somehow I don't feel such need.

Palemoon4 - it's simply FF4 but with old cpu support cut off.

Mosaic - Mmmm sweet memories...


So getting to the point, you should make your own build of FF, throw away useless shit along with Google spyware and add what you like and need. If you can't then I have bad news for you, you are doomed.

Btw if you are on linux then IceCat is a bit nicer than FF.

I was wondering once if I should keep my browser only for my self or to give it a way for ppl along with some nice gui and cool name but the thing is that I have no time to answer ppl questions, provide support, update frequently and so on.

Do you know what pisses me off the most in all browsers? That every one renders a websites its own way. My head hurts when I try to satisfy them all.
