    Nothing else works for you, when once you get used to the style of Chrome
  2. Chrome and Opera no need for anything else

    I use Firefox and IE just for a few pages, example, my homebanking page doesn't work properly on firefox and my university's self-management page won't work either.
    Everything else: Firefox.

    I use Chrome for the bookmark syncing, simplicity, and speed. I use Firefox when I need various add-ons, and IE only when I'm on MSFT's sites.
  6. Firefox always :)
     
  7. Firefox is def my #1 browser with Seamonkey @ #2
  8. Been a long time Opera user (since v4), and whilst I dabbled with Firefox I can no longer recommend me the v3 branch due to it being bloated and insecure. I can only hope that version 4 brings back some of the sparkle.

    Opera is the only browser that allows me to integrate my desktop with my mobile and/or a laptop with Opera Sync something important to me when I'm on the move. Opera is also a researchers friend being able to translate, search and even look up in a dictionary with a right click. Voice was useful but broken in v10.

    Then you have mouse gestures, something that speeds up my browsing enormously and also bookmark short cut commands (such as ts for Techspot or the built in one /. for Slashdot). Tab management is still years ahead of the competition as well.

    Out of all the browsers Opera is the most feature rich and widespread, and it does this in a pretty lean package. Is it perfect? No, but then there is no perfect browser but for speed and customisation then Opera is hard to beat.

    PCrossFire, what exactly are you trying to accomplish by posting and then quoting yourself?

    I didn't care what your browser was before, and I care less now.

    My browser of choice is Firefox which I use about 99% of the time. I do have IE, Chrome and Opera on my laptop but use them very little.
  14. Of course Chrome!
  15. Opera...It just works. There are some bugs but speed dial and multiple session saves keeps me coming back.
    Use Chrome for compatibility issues with Opera on some sites and the sheer speed of it.
    Explorer for Windows updates :p.
    Firefox not used. It's nice but too tweakable for me. I get in and cannot stop until it's so secure that most sites I visit require me to allow the access manually and that's now ideal for my surfing. I know it's good but its like tweaking windows...blah blah blah.
    Sooo Opera.

    @Guest # 75

    So in a nutshell you are saying people who 'tweak' their bodies to have lots of tattoos aren't able to anything 'productive' at all?

    Throw away your Ritalin, or try taking it as directed, instead of crushing it up and shorting it. Then you may be able to make some semblance of sense when you try communicating with the written word again. On second thought, never mind.
