Which Browser are you using?

[Bibs]

I'm currently using Chrome as Firefox was becoming very memory intensive and bloaty but the lack of flash support, no feed reader and other shortfalls are getting very annoying so *may* go back to firefox and a clean install of it. Chrome is proper quick too. My only real requirements are that it's lightening fast as I'm on a computer all day and bookmark sync is very handy.

What are you using any why?

[Sparky]

I was a MS junkie through and through until about a year ago. Switched to Firefox and loving it. Played with IE8 but it's still a bloated hippo, so won't be going there, unless I'm at work where our standard remains IE6!

Have so far resisted Chrome as Google is such a monster. Did anyone read Chrome's original licence agreement before they were legally obliged to change it? In essence it said "Use this and we own you, your family, and everything you've ever touched".

Firefox with one tab open is currently using nearly 300mb of memory. I've got 4gb so it's not exactly taxing the machine but means it's a bit far away from a lightweight application, it can be slow.

I like and use firefox at the moment. Bit miffed at the flash support but I like the functionality and trust it a little more than IE.

I want to try chrome sometime, btw I have 6 tabs open at the moment and only using 168MB memory.

Needed a button for IE cos I cant be a****d to change....not really an informed preference!

Firefox all good

I need more options.

on the PC I normally only use Chrome (Dev).

On my phone I use Windows Mobile 6.1 and Android 2.0.1.

So in WM6.1 I use P.I.E., Skyfire (default now, and pretty awesome), Opera Mini, Opera Mobile.

And in Android I use the Chrome light, and Dolphin.

is that enough?

IE is like when you have made toilet, you don't realise how much it stinks until you go away and come back (stop me if i'm getting to technical).

Firefox is ace.

Safari on a mac here

"IE is like when you have made toilet, you don't realise how much it stinks until you go away and come back"

A bit like Windows then.

Chrome here - Can't say that the lack of flash is a biggy for me.

Flash is not recommended for good web sites due to accessibility issues.

I'am using normally IE, it's standard at work.

In my own pc also Crome.

[tinywillyuk]

SRWare Iron here. Based on the Chromium sourcecode without the bits that Google bolted in.

Try it - its similar to Chrome, a little quicker & leaner.

I updated to FireFox 3.5 and started having problems, one of which was the google search toolbar would not load. So I deleted it and reloaded FireFox 3.0 and all is fine again, it has even updated to 3.0.15 now.

IE is terrible, god its soooo sloooooowww!

Another vote for Firefox.

IE was hopeless on my laptop, my brother is an IT geek and suggested I change, has been no problem since.

Online marketing is my living so on the net all day,

Chrome is far quicker and easier, the best by far!

Altough currenty using safari on the iPhone, waiting for the new chrome app though

LOL

I've just checked....

2 Firefox windows open, with a combined total of 11 tabs.

Add to that 3 Word doccuments, 6 excell spreadsheets, notepad and my computer......

Total memory useage, 1.55Gig out of an available 2 Gig...

Seems to be running fine

Safari & Firefox

[rogerch]

Firefox, and have done for some years, the latest 3.5.7 seems to have some issues running under XP, but is fine under Linux. I also use Thunderbird.

Got to get away from that nasty Microsoft stuff.

[USAndretti42]

Another vote for Firefox here although it will take more than that to make me a cool cat.

[ramjet]

Firefox 3.5.7 or Safari 4.0.4. Both on a MAC with 2GB memory. Never have a problem.

You're running Vista still then!?

[arbell9]

i am using firefox, 6 tabs open uses ~150Mb mem as i type. I like the look and feel and the addon support is great.

Its updated seemlessly and doesnt cause any problems except for this. My adaware picks up cookie.sqlite everytime it opens. This in mozilla firefox holds all of your cookies, including login information, session data, and preferences. My adaware doesnt yet know this is ok and part of the software package. So its a niggle right now, if it continues i could end up switching browser to safari.
