It seems like I really wouldn't use any of the features. But whatever floats your boat.

I like it because if there is a youtube video i want to show my friends at school i can download it and show them (no wifi for students at school). and for people who torrent, i'm not saying i do but for those people it's convenient, you don't need utorrent.

Chrome, because Explorer is too slow for me and I just really don't like firefox. Chrome has everything you need from a browser.

I used to use Chrome. But then, for some reason, it got really slow, like IE slow. Since then, I've switched to Firefox.

Opera been using it since it came out in 1994. I love everything about it even though it has it's flaws. I remember when it had banners if you didn't buy the full version me being a kid had to find serial codes or keygens to remove them ahhh memories.

Opera. None of the other browsers feel right anymore :P
It doesn't close when i close all my tabs - takes me back to the speed dial.
the speed dial is very useful and automatically updates with the website (looks better than other browser add-on equivalents)

 

the general feel of it for me is better than other browsers because i'm more used to the layout, and i hardly have to go out of my way to visit any sites as they are all there on the homepage.

It does use quite a bit of memory, (600MB on 3 tabs at the moment) but not even 20% of it is used up :P

Firefox- non profit, open source, fight for the good of the people (like the NSA thing) and it's least buggy for me.

Google Chrome.

 

I prefer the UI.

it's faster.

most plugins you need are integrated into it and updated regularly.

and Google protects your data more so than other companies.

 

it also just works,for pretty much everything.

actually any info your computer sends to Google goes straight to the nsa xD they can see what your doing live if they wanted to

oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

Firefox from 2004-2011, then switched to Chrome. Both are memory hogs, but Chrome is less so.

Firefox has just always worked well for me, with addons that I probably couldn't live without too. No need to change as there is nothing more that I want.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

why? i trust Google the least its there main source of income to gather your personal data your likes dislikes etc and since it all goes to the nsa why would you trust them its not like they said ever that they sent it to the nsa it had to be uncovered by a leak

oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

How many browser polls do we need? Maybe time to merge them all and see what the real numbers are? Or do we need a monthly update on our browser usage?

 

Probably easier if the Mods posted the forum stats which list which Browser, OS, etc. on a regular basis and end this repeated thread?

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

You don't have to participate if you don't want to. You can just scroll past the thread just as easily as you posted in it.
