People still use Firefox?

Which browser do you use cman?

WTFDYW: Which browser do you use cman?

Safari/Chrome

Mostly Chrome, but its Mac version can be a bit buggy at times.

I use FF, but I tried Chrome and hated it. Went back to FF.

Still better than using Firefox.

I switched to Chrome yesterday and my laptop fan hasn't gone to max RPMs like it does every time I use FF.

I don't care if Chrome is spyware at this point. Firefox needs a complete overhaul before I use it again.

A little secret? You can install 'em both on a machine. I have both running right now, because some apps work better in chrome, some in FF, and of course there's the couple so broken that only IE will work.

The few times I've tried using Chrome, if I have over two tabs open for any length of time, it will freeze up, and the only way to kill the process is to go into task manager. Never have those problems with Firefox.

Yes, because only the most credible people in the world are interviewed on an Alex Jones show

The NSA has complete access to Windows and MacOS source code. Don't let your boycott list get too short...

You gotta love Alex's passion.

I use a lot of browsers for work. Back in the day I was all about IE. Then I discovered Firefox Versions 3 & 4 were great, 5-10 just suck. Super slow, crashing all the time. I'm on 11 now, seems like more of the same. Started using Chrome, eh, it's ok... Seems a little more snappy at somethings but I really hate the interface/options.

Just the other day I was on a site that had a massive amount of animated gif's - one of these you scroll down and it loads more. FF and Chrome utterly failed. They kept freezing and I could not scroll, then they just would not load at all. Fired up trusty old IE9 and BAM. Everything loaded instantly... Go figure

Give it time...

That's what I'm worried about. By then, something else will come along.

If you use the chrome dev builds, they have multiple profile support. It's actually pretty slick. I use it to keep work / personal bookmarks separate. Plus it syncs your bookmarks and your extensions between browsers.

I text my secretary a web address and she prints it out then faxes it to me.

TheOriginalEd: Chrome: open it use it close it when it bugs out
FF: Open it, get some coffee, make a sandwich... still not loaded? eat sandwich. open chrome.
IE: are you farking crazy?

Wow, someone whose computer sucks harder than mine.

I had FF hit over 1 GB usage with 4 tabs open...2 slashdot and two wiki-type pages while using Adblock/Flashblock. These pages had zero interactive content and no flash loaded up. The only time I use FF anymore is when chrome or IE have trouble rendering a page for some reason.

Hmmm, calling BS on that, or you've got something else going on in your system to suck up that much ram. Running FF, 12gb ram, 12 add-ons and open up 20 tabs, 8 with flash and it's eating 750mb. MemoryFox flushes that out periodically.
