What is your favorite browser?

I use different internet browsers for different reasons.

I use Chrome at home because I like the simplicity of it and it's fast.

I use Firefox at work because I like the add-on selection for work tools better than chromes selection.

I begrudgingly use Internet Explorer sometimes as some pages made by our Client Partner won't load up in anything else.

 

I was using Firefox,but the 5.0 update works like crap.So now I use Chrome.

 

I like Chrome because it is fast and simple. I do not want many features. I want a racing car without the extras. Plus it works.

 

I use FF. I tried Chrome but I could not get a version of NoScript that I liked. And I refuse to use a browser that does not let me restrict scripts.

 

Chrome ftw. Faster, easier to move between select websites, can run almost everything, and more intuitive. Slightly limited bookmarks means that you have to be creative in your organization but it's certainly manageable.

 

Did you try NotScripts?

 

Seems with Chrome, my search options are limited.
Am I doing something wrong?

 

Limited in what way?

 

FF 5.0 allows me to switch between AVG, Yahoo and Google in my toolbar, not so with Chrome, but perhaps I didn't pay enough attention when I installed it.

 

I am using 5.0. Only problem I had was with the Google toolbar. It was easily fixed.

I actually considerd this until I came to this page:

and more.
It seems to me that notscripts is still in the development stage. I just don't trust it yet. Are you using it and , if yes, what is your experience with it?
Maybe some day when I have time to do more than just dl an extension, I will give it a try.

 

That was written when chrome was on version 7. It's up to 12 now. That plugin has a proper Whitelist/temp whitelist/blacklist now.

Copied from the options menu for the plug-in:

There are 3 main issues with NotScripts at the moment in order of importance:
NotScripts can block plugins like Flash and Silverlight. However, Java applets are a special case. Java applets embedded with the standard <EMBED></EMBED> or <OBJECT></OBJECT> tags can be blocked, but Java applets embedded with the old, deprecated <APPLET></APPLET> tags cannot be blocked because Google Chrome does not fire load events for this legacy method. The current workaround is to disable Java in your browser until this can be fixed.

All scripts loaded from a source location (the vast majority) can be blocked. However, inline scripts that are directly written into the HTML code of a web page cannot be blocked by NotScripts because Google Chrome does not fire load events for them.
For example: <script src="http://example.com/aScriptFile.js"></script> can be blocked without any issues. However, <script>alert("Hello, World!");</script> written directly into the HTML code by the site you are visiting cannot be blocked by NotScripts because it is not loaded from anywhere, it is a direct part of the web page you view. However, these inline scripts are usually useful and are often required for a site to function properly. If you want to, you can set Google Chrome to deny javascript for all sites and use NotScripts to selectively pick the scripts to run on sites you enable javascript on.

UPDATE: As of NotScripts V0.9.2 there is some inline script mitigation as a stop gap measure to help a little until the extensions API is more robust.

When you visit a web site for the first time with scripting enabled, you may see NotScripts quickly reload it once as it caches the whitelist and refreshes. Subsequently, there is no reloading needed unless you happen to change a part of your whitelist that directly affects the site. This is only a minor issue and happens less and less as NotScripts learns your desired whitelist.

 

Do not understand what is limited about bookmarks in Chrome. I have a list of folders each with a list of Bookmarks, some of them even have folders themselves. I can name and rename any of my bookmarks and folders. What am I missing?

 

all of the porn sites that I visit, I wound up having to reload Windows once a month. Apple's seem to be pretty much immune to viruses, spyware, etc and Safari is the default program so I voted for it.

 

Really? I have never been able to get bookmarks beyond the toolbar. Whatev- you're proving my point anyways. Apparently what you're missing is my lack of technical skills lol

 

You can pick the search engine that drives the bar at the top in the options menu. You can use anything you like.

Ladies and gentleman, meet your average Mac user.

Right click the bookmark bar and you can "Add Folder". Then you can drag and drop bookmarks in there. Click the folder to get a list of the bookmarks inside. Rightclick the list to "add folder".

 

Like I said in another thread... I'm OS agnostic. I use Win, Linux and OS X. This is why I use Firefox, since he run on all 3 platform. I could also use Chrome but I'm used to Firefox since I run it since it came out.

I did try Opera a couple of time but didn't like it. And Safari feel half finished.

 

I use Firefox primarily since it was some of the best developer tools around. I also use IE quite a bit but that's because every web page I develop I have to throw into IE just to make sure some funky little quirk isn't turning my web page into a mess.

 

Thanks for your help.
NoScripts seems easier to use. I don't have to worry about inline scripts.

 

I reckon if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

Firefox. I used to use IE but I had so much trouble with it I switched and haven't had a problem since.

 

I like Internet Explorer but I don't use it anymore because I have a problem when I want to send an email or need to send a file......when I click on Attach File or whatever…..it just says, Loading…..then stops but never loads. So I use I use Google Chrome.

 

I.E 9.0 pretty darn good

 

There are more votes for Firefox than Chrome. Interesting.

 

Yeah, it's very clearly edging out ahead of the pack.
