Firefox FTW,

My internet seems to work faster with it, and i like how you can get custom themes and stuff for it.

Plain and simple to use

Probably not be to everyones taste but I like it

Firefox has a cracking addon that let's you save the page as a PDF by one click of a button. Very handy when getting info on threads.

its probably a combination of peoples computers. chrome might run great on a higher spec pc but on a lower one it might not.

and southie. tell me more. does it take a snap shot of the page?

and do you use gadwin?

Chrome for me, seems alot faster than firefox. No stupid toolbars, search bars or anything. Everything optional. Looks better too. :thumb:

IE is w@nk, and has been for years.

I've used chrome and prefer it on a pc than most other browsers but is very basic.

The PDF thingy saves whatever page you have open at the time. If you go onto the Mozilla addons part of firefox you should find it. Tiz good :)

No that's the best thing, it looks like it has nothing cause every things built in/hidden.

Search bars the address bar and such... That's one thing i really like. Plus its really fast compare to ff and Ie8.

Thankfully I said Safari then lol I mainly use it to sync my bookmarks with my iPhone though. Still find Firefox as quick on my mac.

IE and Safari for me.

Never ever had an issue with IE (as in an issue with the browser and not the computer), like I was telling Benn earlier. Whenever I had a problem with the net everyone told me to 'just get FF, it's better' It was actually worse and never aided me in any way. The .pdf conversion thing is cool but it'll get added to IE soon lol FF is said to be faster but from my experience I download stuff just as quick in IE then when I tried with FF.

Safari is just solid, but I don't go on the interwebs with the iMac, don't want to spoil it :)

I know Southie but the iMac is used for Audio projects so don't wanna start fragmenting its HDD with net poop. I have a prefectly good PC to ruin with net none sense. Wanna keep the iMac net free.

Firefox and opera, although I only got opera for wap access on the pc, it still comes in handy though.
