Which Browser Do You Use?

[ちい~ちゃん]

I use Firefox.

Does anybody use Safari?

I Do xD

yup safari works pretty good

[Gundam]

I use Mozilla Firefox . To me it is like the best
browser to use besides flock. Though Flock is
ok to me. But yeah Firefox all the way! ^_^

[Kaitochan]

I now use the Google Chrome browser.

[Takeshi]

^ What's with that? I was going to download it but I thought it'd be a waste of time. Any good?

[Ice Prince]

My main comp uses Internet Explorer.

[mishaxelle]

Firefox and Internet Explorer. Yet to try Google's new browser.

Its fast. But it has some issues in rendering. I've heard complaints about PNG files not looking right, and handling of some CSS. It needs work but it shows promise. I'm most concerned about the CSS issues. I wonder if some of the speed Chrome has is due to not fully rendering things like shadows and transparency in some places.

But Chrome wont be replacing Firefox for me anytime soon, even with these bugs worked out Too many plugins and features that are a normal part of how I use the web now are not available on Chrome.

[Graffik]

I'll never use a new browser until after 6 or so months. That way I don't have to deal with pestering bugs and so.

Right now I'm a hardcore Safari and Firefox user.

[Lightey Natsume]

I use internet explorer butim going to try out google chrome browser now.

[girl]

FIREFOX FTW!
i did use AOL browser for a while bc it had tabs. but then i figured out firefoz had tabs too.

on my other computer, i used internet 7. i liked the roundedness of the tabs and it was clean.
but now, firefox is my fav. i dont have internet explorer 7 and ie6 sucks. besides, firefox is the best for watching streaming vids

[FlameHazel]

Opera, now and forever ;D

Firefox, or any other for that matter, just crumbles after everything I put it through :]

Opera is stable, praised to be the fastest browser in the world, Has e-mail, rss, IRC, synchronises everything on a remote server....In short - It Gleams +___+

[nx6]

Firefox can do all those just as easily with like three plugins. Except email, because Firefox is a web browser, and isn't supposed to do email.

Also: Fail. Someone has already used that avatar, at a larger size.

[C.Payne]

Firefox.

IE7 sucks on my PC for some reason. Whilst Mozilla sails smooooooothly.

I only really like to use IE7 for certain things though

[Kamina]

I have used Opera, so I can account to liking it very much. It is definitely the less popular equal to Firefox imo. I usually use Firefox tho, I dont know why.

[anamacote]

I use Firefox and Internet Explorer.

[Unji-Chan]

I use firefox at home and IE at school.

Bottom line is I love firefox more. =D

[Guy]

I used IE for a long time... but about a month back, I've finally decided to use firefox, lmao.

[granamonkey]

Firefox. I'm switching to Google Chrome soon though.

[Spy!]

Firefox and Chrome.

More Firefox than Chrome, cause it has better themes and stuff.

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]

About three years ago my friend introduced me to Mozilla. I've been pimping the firefox ever since 8D!

[Tsunayoshi]

Internet Explorer for me

[Hakuoro]

I used to use Internet Explorer, now I'm using Opera.

[Yume-chan]

Internet Explorer is my main browser, but I use FireFox when I want to download a lot of stuff. ^^ 'cause IE only keeps track of 2 downloads maximum at once. D:

[TheReal58]

Firefox is the best in my opinion.

I've tricked out my browser with the Aero Firefox settings.

[.Flow]

I use firefox now, i used to use IE but i prefered FF less bugs and i liked the tab browsing :)

[p.zack]

^ Same.

I am using Mozilla Firefox now. :)

[kaihidou]

Internet Explorer all the way ^o^

[Xcalibur]

I use IE but i am thinking of changing to Mozilla Firefox since i've heard good things

[yoco007]

Firefox!

[ichigo-01]

i use internet explore

[Ashuri]

Firefox.

IE used to give me quite a few problems in the past.

[:.sack_boy .:]

Internet Explorer

[Suneca]

I've used the Firefox about 3 years, now I just use it in the school, but in home I use Google Chrome.

[Akito]

Mozilla Firefox... baby :3

[Tristar]

im using internet exploerer because it came with my computer and it works pretty well i havent tried any other browser before though

[Pnzar]

Firefox with personas

[Emerald]

I use Firefox.

[wfinden01]

I use Mozilla Firefox! Why would you use anything else

[The_Supervisor]

Switched to Chrome a while back.

Fast <3

[Abe]

Yup, I switched from Firefox to Google Chrome
Good stuff.

[natsume1]

I use internet explorer most of the time but ive used mozilla firefox already its not bad

[Pyramus]

Defiantly a Firefox guy XD I do use IE for things that dont work on FF.

[dragoneyes001]

firefox but that might end soon if they keep bugging me with a constant string of updates.

[nx6]

Yes, I hate it when browser makers patch security holes and other bugs. Why can't they just sit on the issue and let us be taken advantage of like Microsoft? :rolleye09

You can also turn off the automatic update checking in the preferences.

[.kittonni™]

I now use either Safari or Chrome (mostly to browse weird websites). Safari has a more interesting interface and the webpage compatibility rate is pretty high.

NOT ONE OF THEM was for security updates. so keep your smart ass remarks to yourself it only makes you look stupid.

[Hattori.pt]

Firefox and Google Chrome

Who's looking stupid now?


you list the three major updates how about you list the last several quick fixes between those updates you might want to read those because that's what I'm referring to. do you think 3 updates over months would be annoying?
its not. its the small fixes that are because it mirrors what M$ used to do with IE.

the only error I made was using the word update instead of quick fix's

[nx6]

you list the three major updates how about you list the last several quick fixes between those updates
Mozilla doesn't issue "quick fixes". The .0.1 releases are maintenence releases, not "major" by any definition, and how Mozilla distributes all security updates from what I can see. I have never been bothered by Firefox to install anything for Firefox itself other than the updates I listed above.

If you're getting more notices, they might be from any extensions you have installed (I get new versions of ColorfulTabs, Slashdotter, and Customize Google every week it seems). But those are third-party extensions, not Firefox updates.

The closest I can come to your idea is how MacOS X is done. Apple issues security and other updates but then releases .0.1 bugfix releases that include a whole slew of stuff and are hundreds of megabytes sometimes.

a quick fix is when the version number does not change.

in each of the version updates they address as many issues as they have time to before release.
after updates some issues with either the update or ones that needed to be addressed after release get dealt with in quick fix's and yes firefox has been using them the download warning window opening is proof enough of it.

[nx6]

Now it sounds like you're explaining IE's update procedure.

Maintenance releases don't have set schedules for Firefox. Generally a maintenance release is triggered by a high profile security issue getting patched, not the other way around. If something doesn't get covered in a maintenance release, generally it is because the issue has not been confirmed or a patch finished yet, or in rare occasions too low a priority to push out an immediate patch.

after updates some issues with either the update or ones that needed to be addressed after release get dealt with in quick fix's and yes firefox has been using them the download warning window opening is proof enough of it.
Are you talking about the Software Update window (click here to install and restart) or the regular Downloads window.

I've never had the Software Update warning window pop-up for me for anything other than maintenance releases. The only other was the one for plug-ins when it checks at startup.
