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

2011-06-15 04:08:50

Chrome

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.

you should try the fresh install.

2011-06-15 14:13:29

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.

2011-06-15 17:41:18

Firefox, although it does crash on me fairly regularly.

2011-06-15 17:43:41

Chrome for everything.

Explorer for work :/

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.

I didn't think so either, until I did it.

2011-06-18 02:41:12

yea I guess chrome is the best...its a totally memory hog but it gets the job done!! and let's be honest, who cares about memory when you got 4 gigs of it ;)

2011-06-18 16:44:37

its funny windoes doesn't even function correctly without at least 200 megs of virtual stuff.

2011-06-18 20:49:35

You can turn it off if you have a SSD...I turned it off :P

2011-06-18 21:06:34

does that mean you have an SSD?

less space less money, win win for the "hard drive" company.

Get it? Probably not

2011-06-18 21:46:48

yea I have a 40 GB Intel SSD, bought it last year. I installed Windows 7 and some programs on it, super fast!!

I also have a regular HDD, I install all my games on it

2011-06-18 21:56:24

hmm. not intriguing.
