Web Browsers

[Mr_Wilde]

From all the big named web browsers available: IE (Internet Explorer), Safari, Chrome (Google), Firefox, Opera.. what are you using? I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and it didn't take too long to get used to it's tabbed browsing but man this thing is fast! My main concern was it's interaction with MFC and I've gotta say, all is good and stable in the world of cam model viewing, lol.

Chrome and Iron, firefox when I want to be a guest lol

Chrome (release and canary) typically (90% of the time). Sometimes IE9. Sometimes Firefox.

From my experiance any of the IE explorers lag really bad on MFC. Firefox is ok, it is a little faster but still lags as well. Google chrome seems to be then best eccept for it crashes now and then.

I've never had a problem with Firefox, but I used to be a huge fan of Netscape. The only thing I like about Chrome that Firefox doesn't have is that it only closes one tab when there is a crash.

I run both, but primarily most things are on Firefox. There are a lot of sites and forums where I have to have more than one login for things, thus the two browsers.

I prefer SRWare Iron. It's a browser based on the Chromium engine. I like it better than Chrome for various reasons (mainly because Chrome is my primary browser and I like the idea of having an MFC-only browser)...but its one major limitation is that you have to manually update it.

Pretty sure firefox 4 only crashes 1 tab now. Also, when something like flash crashes you don't have to restart the browser anymore.

This... happy days are here again with Firefox 4.

I use firefox. IE if I want to look in as a guest or an off-account.

Firefox4 is trying way to hard to be Chrome.

Chrome is still friggin awesome.

Rockmelt was my favorite, then it started crashing every 30 minutes when you use it.

 

[AlexLady]

Haha, when Chrome came out, some of it was based on Firefox.

Browsers are going to do what works best, just like all other types of technology. They're still doing it in their own ways.

Chrome definitely hogs memory and CPU. I've had to force shutdown Chrome's renderer several times in the past couple of months.

Normally I use Iron, especially for MFC, but also Firefox, since Iron occasionally has a problem with my webcam on this one site. The one thing that Firefox does best, in my experience, is log me on automatically on certain websites, which the Chrome-based browsers don't always do so well.

 

[mrballou]

I am waiting for IE explorer to come out with a browser beats the compitition. I don't think that google chrome is made by windows microsoft. Why can't one browser handle it all.

 

[Runts]

Internet Explore is made by Microsoft.
Safari is made by Apple.
Opera is made by Opera Software ASA.
Iron is made by SRWare.
Chrome is made by Google.
Firefox is made by Mozilla.
There are others (Maxthon, Avant, SeaMonkey, Amaya, Flock, K-Meleon, etc) and they are all made by companies other than Microsoft or the ones listed above.

Hope that clears things up.

LOL.

IRON FTW! Doesn't have all the privacy issues Chrome does which makes it faster too.

 

[SuperSentaifan4ever]

I have Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Google Chrome, Rockbelt, ans Safari! I mostly use Firefox but switch over to Chrome when my twitter isn't updating like it should for whatever reason. Recently had to start using Firefox for twitter because the api with everyone's tweets as well as who I'm following and my followers isn't showing up for some very strange reason.

 

[Zoomer]

Using Firefox - I just can't seem to use anything else.
Also have Chrome installed, but love hate relationship. I find it's fairly rigid pre-settings an utter pain in the ass, compared to Firefox.
I have IE 9 installed, because I have Windows. I only use it if neither of the other two are suitable (we have Microsoft Exchange server for email, so full functionality for webmail is only realised with Internet Explorer).

For those who think Firefox is a Chrome copy, or the other way around (talking about features/looks) - then take a look at Opera. Virtually everything you see, including layouts and style, came from Opera. Opera did it first
Whilst I have Opera installed, I still just don't use/like it as much as Firefox or Chrome

Is it just me, or does anyone else have chat scrolling issues in any of these browsers?

In many instances in both chrome and firefox the chat likes to jump back and will never stay at the end, no matter how many times I scroll down. it gets so annoying and makes it worthless to even try chatting.

It happens, but not all the time. Seems to happen most frequently when a models topic appears...

I decided to install Safari for windows - see how it fairs

Last time I tried this was when Safari was in Beta and crashed whenever it could (literally, never even got to visit a single website without a crash). Obviously it's past that stage, so see how it goes. I remember them insisting on keeping the Apple way of doing things - so close etc was on the "wrong" side of the screen to conventional windows programs

*edit* Looks good at the moment
