What Browser Do You Use?

[Solecord]

I'm working on developing an updated QuakeOne and would like some input. I've got site statistics but would also like input from the community.

What browser do you use?

I use notepad for browsing the web.

Yeah, it's old school and not very popular but I find I enjoy trying to imagine what the HTML would render like in my head

/Real answer: FireFox

I use the latest version of FireFox.

By the way, this is a pretty great add-on.

Anyone else remember the days when you couldn't surf the web with Internet Explorer without gettin 5 viruses and 3 new toolbars you couldn't uninstall:

Firefox 3.0.1

WTF @ pic... Holy shit

Mostly Firefox 3, although if I'm feeling bored, I'll take a look in Lynx...

IE7 for me

Right now I'm on FF3, which I loathe and detest with a passion, but nonetheless see as the best of a bad lot. I've FF2 on my other main PC, much better aside from the memory leaks (it wasn't uncommon for it to be using 500 MB or more at times). I'm liking what I've seen of IE8 so far; the ribbon interface looks like it's going to be really effective, and if MS can unlock some of the customization that's possible in FF (as well as allowing for easier and more intuitive config of common-sense security stuff), and don't fall into the trap of making it a "Vista only" release (but oh how seductive that may seem to them) then I may be persuaded to switch.

It's a sure sign that something's badly wrong when just navigating to a web page uses 100% CPU, and I get that on my third PC, also FF3, but which is admittedly an ancient clunker. I think it's gone too far down the route of interpreted scripts, which is fine in a sense, but sometimes you just want a lightweight and super-fast browser. Unfortunately I'm too used to the FF feature set by now.

IE7 still gets occasional use - there's always the odd site that's just plain broken on FF, whether requiring Active-X (far from the "run screaming in terror" nightmare it used to be), or botched table layouts, or whatever.

Classic screenshot! :d

The really funny thing is that I have users in work who would still quite cheerfully fill their browsers with crap like that (and then look at me stupidly and ask what was wrong) if I didn't lock their PCs down so hard they can't even squirm.

FF3 all the way.

ie7 4 life

Other than the fact its a memory hog compared to some other browsers, it is fine to use.

Opera 9+.

I've had bad experiences with FF. I'll never touch that memory leaking open source piece of crap again.
