Web browsers...
Which web browser(s) do you use, and why?
What do you like about each one?
My "new" Windows Vista machine has all three of the most popular web browsers on it.
Internet Explorer is of course, included with the system, and I downloaded my preferred browser, Mozilla Firefox.
I'm not sure where it's copy of Google Chrome came from. (It was formerly my dad's backup machine.)
What I like about Firefox is its customization features, like browser add-on and themes.
Another browser tidbit:
The below link leads to the test page for Firefox's phishing filter, though it works with another browser, too.
IF you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer 8, you should be warned away from the below page:

Re: Web browsers...
I use Google Chrome 4.0 For how obsolete my computer is, it loads up much quicker than IE8 or Firefox 3.6 does.
Chrome 4.0 just got extensions as well. 4.0 has only been out for a few days.

Yea, I read that speed is Chrome's strong point.Smjh1979 wrote:I use Google Chrome 4.0 For how obsolete my computer is, it loads up much quicker than IE8 or Firefox 3.6 does.

Firefox.
You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

Re: Web browsers...
I use Firefox. I have Google chrome on my old computer and it takes some getting use too but works good. The only thing Internet Explorer is good for is downloading a new browser.
