2011-06-15 03:02:21 Browser Wars!! Which one do YOU prefer?

As much as I love chrome, its a total memory hog!! And I have noticed it takes a while to load page with a lot of pictures while the latest Internet explorer is fast as hell and totally smooth!! It loads pages quicker...I also tried Safari for Windows 7 and that seemed pretty cool

Which one do you guys like the best? :D

Still enjoy myself some Firefox, though I liked the last version more than the current version. I liked right-clicking on a link and having the new window option at the top instead of the new tab option. I practically never use tabs. Much prefer windows.

LOL, doom you have a terrible taste. Safari (for windows no less!) and IE? Seriously?

Anyways, I use Firefox and Chrome for different purposes, they are both the best.

I'm digging Firefox 4 still, but it does some whacky things I wish they'd do something

You might want to try an uninstall/reinstall if you haven't already. I have the open in a new window option.
In fact I had a lot of problems updating from 3.x to 4.x where things were behaving wrongly and it all went away with a fresh install.


Give it a try at least.

Yeah, I have both options available. I just prefer the new window option to be the first one in the menu. I used to be able to right click on a link and click new window before the menu would even appear on screen, but now i have to wait a whole fraction of a second.

Yeah, firefox all teh way for me too. Currently using Chrome at work and while it's usable i just think Firefox is an all-round better browser in most cases.

Chrome for performance, Firefox for the extensions that I've lived with for years and can not yet abandon. Chrome is catching up fast though.

Or just shift click. Unless it's for porn-surfing and your other hand is elsewhere occupied.

I'm not really keen on shortcuts and other stuff. If I can't get to it via my mouse, it's not worth via'ing.

I can't picture a fresh install swapping the positions of two menu options.

I do sometimes. Occasionally I'm just really lazy and would prefer to use one hand, but there are also websites where shift-clicking not only opens another window, but it loads the clicked link in the original page as well. Right-clicking avoids this.
