    Since when did i say that was evidence i was just showing what browsers come up most who view my website.   Its my own personal opinion that IE is best

  • ie6

Google Chrome, optimised, no fuss, browsing. However, I always have Opera, Netscape and Firefox installed to cross browse when developing.

I've went from IE to Firefox to Safari to Opera to Chrome and Chrome is by far the best browser.

Firefox for work (developer plug-ins), Chrome for casual use (speed and usability).

 

 

I second this!

I use Lunascape 6 to see how my web sites look, but for plain browsing it has to be Chrome.

ie is the best, just checked who goes on my site with what browser, these are the results..

When designing/developing I use firefox mainly because it has lost of really useful plugins which help speed up my process. When I'm just browsing around I like to move over to Safari, I can't really figure out any other reason than the 'Top Sites' feature which safari uses. I only browse a few websites in the evening when I'm not at work so I have all my sites already there with a nice pretty thumbnail, ready for me to dive deep into the world of social networking!

I personnely have chrome as my favourite because of its simple interface and security.

But Firefox and opera are behind.

Im currently using Firefox 4 Beta.. Seems to the best i have come accross! dont like google chrome whats so ever. I.E is slow as hell.. have not used safari. I heard google chrome is the fastest now but for good performance go for Firefox

  • 2 weeks later...

I used to use firefox but it seemed to have a virus :/ I now use google chrome but test in IE as well. I did use safari but it seemed to crash a lot.

Firefox mainly, but I find it's not as stable as it should be sometimes. Ocassionally when I close it and open it again it tells me that the "Firefox process is already running" and I have to ctrl-alt-del and stop the process. Also it crashes occasionally. Perhaps a prob with my machine or it's corrupted somehow. Brilliant essential web dev tools.

 

Although it doesn't crash as much as IE8 which just seems to randomly hang and crash and invite you to "Send an error report to Microsoft". Microsoft are lucky that everyone doesn't do this otherwise their servers would come to a halt with the traffic :mf_rudolph: . IE has web dev tools but I find compared to Firefox they're not as intuitive.

 

Safari - Hmmm I don't like the interface. Even though it has all the bells and whistles.

 

Chrome - Quite good. I also notice that Chrome acts a lot like Safari render-wise. Anyone else find that?

 

I think Opera is quite nice - underrated. Not sure how up to date it is with the other ones and to be honest I don't really use it, but it's a very pleasant browser to use. A good effort.

 

Anyway I'll be unoriginal and go with FF even though it could be more stable.

Firefox 4

 

Best and fastest browser in my opinion, hands down.

What's your best browser? Is it firefox? IE, Safari or Google Chrome? Why?

i like IE6. because it check erro very good. and Chrome is fastest

Safari or Chrome as they score 100/100 on the Acid 3 Test. This is how all browsers should perform then we web designers / developers would have a much easier life.

Always used Firefox until it started crashing regularly and just being a nightmare. So I tried out Google Chrome and have been hooked since!

 

It's so clean, minimal and fast - worth a try if you haven't already.

I would bet for Chrome for its speed and lightness. I love angry birds

Problem: some sites do not open in chrome in first attempt.

 

Firefox is best for HTML coders because of those addons.

Problem: I could not install Firefox in 64bit windows 7 HB

 

Opera is OK

I would not recommend safari.

IE would be the last browser I would prefer to use

surely if you get the code right then you don't need those add-ons?

I always use Chrome for my day to day web browsing due to it's simple interface. For development however, it has to be Firefox every time mainly because of Firebug.

On a web design forum I'm glad I see lots of Firefox. I cannot see why you would need to use another browser for anything design related with Firefox. Apart from browser testing I ALWAYS use Firefox.

Chrome has it for me. Always use it. I liked the look of Safari but it kept crashing then I had a few problems with Firefox and Chrome has been my favourite since trying it out :friends:
