Sorry if there is a similar topic. If there was, I'm not aware of it. In this thread, you tell us what browser you use.

I now use Mozilla Firefox. It's so much faster than Internet Explorer.

Firefox is the best. Sometimes I use Safari or Chrome, occasionally I give Seamonkey or Opera a try, but I always come back to the fox.

I use Firefox, Opera and Chrome in no particular order. I'm voting Firefox because I tend to use it slightly more than the others. I don't use internet Explorer unless I have to. Are there still people using Netscape? I thought that browser went the way of the dodo?

If you're going to use a text-based browser, use elinks. It's a lot better than Lynx.

Definitely Firefox. I love the adblock and noscript addons for it, those take care of alot of crap that IE never did.

Firefox for regular surfing; Chrome for things that I don't want showing up when I type a URL into Firefox (like porn or Pokémon-related sites). I am well aware that both browsers have a private browsing function, but this way I have a record of URLs in case I forget the name of a certain video or something.

Better question: Does it run on OS 8.5?

I use the Fox exclusively. I keep a recent-ish version downloaded on my thumbdrive or external at all times so I never even have to use IE to get it.

Not enough options. Firefox = Bloated. Chrome = Spyware :lol:

On the other hand, Firefox = I can visit any porn site I want without getting a virus. Also, the only thing that makes Firefox "bloated" is all the features that you can add to it, which are entirely optional. I went to my Applications folder and compared the sizes of the browsers I have. Firefox takes up 53.3 megabytes while Safari is weighing in at 104.1 MB.

I use Fox, Chrome, Opera, and IE in that order (IE as a last resort for very specific things)
