Poll Browser Wars

Just wondering which browsers O-F uses. I personally use Opera.

Firefox user

Mostly IE, sometimes Firefox.

 

[Hielor]

I use Firefox normally. On my old laptops I use Konquerer because that version of Firefox is very unstable, and when I'm doing things that I don't want to show up in my browser history I'll use IE.

Firefox all the way... until, maybe, Chrome gets to the 1.0 stage.

Don't most websites record data like this in an easily-viewable form?
I use Internet Explorer, as terrible as it is.

May I ask why?

I use mostly Chrome, except if I'm viewing some java/flash-rich website (Chrome doen't handle that very well). In that case, I use Firefox.

Ahum...
Doesn't that make them show up in the history of IE?
Who are you hiding your history from? Wife? Parents? Employer? Government? Are you sure they won't look at your IE history?
My Firefox settings are such that history, cookies etc. are deleted each time when a session is closed.

I guess Tex could easily have a look at the visitor statistics of OF to see what kind of browser people are using.

Don't hold your breath, Google has a history of long betas.

From a secret source:
IE 53.9%
Firefox 35.4%
Opera 6.1%
Safari 3.5%

The rest show up as minimal

Mmm, a little different to international stats:

I use IE on my home computer when I'm on here the most, but I use Firefox when I'm on my laptop because it's much more stable under Vista (which I also hate) than IE.

I heard Chrome was going to be in BETA until 2018!

 

[Cobalt]

I use Firefox. It works wonderfully.

ETA on Chrome: Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[TSPenguin]

I use opera, have for a very very long time.
It has the best caching and keyboard use support (talking about forum load...) . I actualy have all the options I could want. It always has been the first and long time only one to pass the acid tests and overall it just suites my browsing style best.

 

[pete.dakota]

Why, FF, of course. I did check out Chrome, but with a lack of mouse-gestures, I resorted back to Firefox.

 

[Woo482]

I use Fire Fox its the best internet browser I have ever used

I tend to be running Windows when I come here so I can quick open Orbiter to check something before I reply to a question. I'm using Seamonkey (Mozilla.org's full featured web app, it's what plain ole Mozilla used to be) but am usually spoofing the browser agent string of Firefox since some websites can't figure out what Seamonkey is.

When I'm using Linux (most of the time) it's Seamonkey or Lynx depending on wether or not I'm running the X server.
