[QUOTE=dryer-lint;19386334]ITT people argue over browsers as if they had a stake in how well browsers do.[/QUOTE]
This in a nutshell.
I like google chrome for the speed and all, but I also hate it because it thinks Facepunch is a pile of DNS errors.
I don't need your help breaking my addictions thank you very much.
I'm a fan of Chrome. I use it. Never had one problem with it.
I like Firefox. Never had a problem with it.
I gave Safari a chance. Ew.

I don't think a checkbox in an iTunes update box compares to billboards, full page adverts in newspapers and having adverts on Youtube and Facebook[/QUOTE]
you have to keep in mind, a lot of people who use computers are total idiots, especially among mac users. people these days will click ok on just about anything without even looking at it.
[QUOTE=ILikeHappyMeals;19386327]Firefox will always be the winner with it's massive fan base and many mods.[/QUOTE]
Opera seems to be setting the stage for next-gen browsers.
I use Firefox and Chrome.
Chrome is for mostly text/image websites, Chrome is faster when loading standard web pages.
Firefox is for media, Firefox runs videos much quicker and a bunch of web apps don't work on chrome yet. Also, animated gifs run really slow in Chrome for some reason.
Opera has an interesting design, but I haven't spent much time with it.
Safari is pretty standard, not bad, but certainly not the best.
Internet Explorer gets new features way later then other browsers and is not very fast.
As far as I can tell Opera has been able to do very nearly everything Firefox and Chrome can do for quite some time.

But you own a mac....
Opera is better.
[QUOTE=Eleventeen;19384641]Firefox is better.[/QUOTE]
Firefox was good, but I consistently had that massive memory leak problem which would cause it to eat up 200MB of memory at a time. I downloaded those fixes for it, but they never worked.
I like chrome. Faster. Not as bulky on screen. Very nice browser.
Exactly the same story for me. Firefox ended up being way too bloated.
Chrome crashes the shit out of my old PCs, along with most new google products.
Why didn't the old HTML versions of things get dropped for PHP and Javascript?
That and Chrome is fucking ugly, and the shitty themes are worse. Why does nobody like sticking to the original Windows palette?
I've just moved from Firefox to Chrome and I'm liking Chrome. More Widescreen and there's a gold border around everything I type. Oh, and the fucking address bar is also the search bar. Plus incognito mode is awesome for looking at porn because I'm getting too lazy deleting my history every time I browse for porn.
I will keep using firefox.
I love the add-ons :3:

....do you even realise what you are saying?
I, for one, welcome our Google overlords and revel in the glory of their browser.
Chrome is awesome. Incognito mode is awesome, and now it supports extensions, There's going to be little need for Firefox soon.

Yeah but Opera's been out for years and it's still the least-used browser by far.

Hey, I just noticed this.

Opera was doing okay until Safari and Chrome turned up. Then they whipped out cricket bats and beat the shit out of it.

yes. but go ahead and tell me whatever it is that you have interpreted into my post.
[QUOTE=Eleventeen;19384641]Firefox is better.[/QUOTE]
Firefox eats like crazy, but yeah. I like Firefox more.

That you are agreeing with me in the most awkward way possible
Bleh, i HATE chrome
It's even worse than safari because it's just an overhyped shiny browser
OOH LEWK DA TOP BAR DUZNT LUK LIKE MICROSAWFT EETS SO PRETTY!
Whereas FIREFOX however is neat, organized, and has the fun little box for downloads.
[QUOTE=gReplay;19384548]this was bound to happen because everybody knows chrome is the best browser[/QUOTE]*cough* Firefox *cough*

I agree, it's not like it has any distinguishing features like multiprocess or the V8 engine.

ITT: Firefox and Chrome fanboys argue
[QUOTE=Dr Egg;19402729]That you are agreeing with me in the most awkward way possible[/QUOTE]
how so? the way I understood your post, you were saying that because there was a check box that meant that everyone who installed safari was making a conscious decision, and apple was superior for that reason, and I was saying that that isn't necessarily the case. I didn't mean to saying anything about the effectiveness of either tactic.
Is Chromium counted as Chrome?
[QUOTE=Tudd Fudders;19384608]this was bound to happen because everybody knows safari is the worst browser.
p.s
Chrome is the best.[/QUOTE]
It's good for porn, not much else really.
Does Chrome have AdBlock and NoScript? I'm just waiting for Chrome to have those to change, they're the only reason I use Firefox.
safari sucks, not much of a surprise.
