I have chrome now. I usually have IE9 and one other, which used to be Firefox but I'm finding that Chrome handles some thing better, and I like the interface.

Firefox's only advantages are that it has a much larger selection of user-provided extensions, and that BECAUSE it was the best browser for a very long time a lot of websites ended up coding around making Firefox behave even if it meant the site wouldn't work in Chrome/Safari. (Much like sites do that for IE.) These are relevant advantages, for certain, but you can't say Firefox is unilaterally superior to Chrome, because it's not. |
A few years ago, I only used to use Internet Explorer because I was using a Windows '98 for a really long time. I finally got a new computer, though, as well as a high-speed connection (because we had also been running on a dial-up connection)... at that point, I used Explorer for a little while longer until I discovered Firefox. I now use that. Also, I downloaded Google Chrome a while after using Firefox, and I loved Chrome to death. However, after a while, it started getting extremely slow for some reason - I don't know why - so I stopped using it and went back to Firefox. Chrome seems to be behaving very well, now, but I still mainly use Firefox. I pretty much use Chrome when stuff starts acting funky on Firefox, now. Meh. |

BAH! I only use a handful of things, and when they don't work properly on Chrome, is when I say Firefox is superior to chrome. Otherwise, I would agree.
|
I used Firefox for a long time.
Then switched to Chrome when my boyfriend did, haha. I like Chrome more, even though it took some getting use to in the beginning. |

There is one exception though, and that is Chrome will not run my Uni's online course program, but then Firefox didn't like it much either, so I always have IE around as a backup for when Chrome fails me, which is getting less and less. Chrome definitely likes Trisphee more than Firefox did in my experience. It appears to be better with graphics and loads youtube videos better than IE9. Again, my experiences. |
Um, does anyone get little messages asking if they want to wait for unresponsive pages or kill them? Is this some Chrome thing I'm not aware of or is something sneaking onto my computer?
|
Yeah, I've gotten that before. I've never used it, just kept waiting out the unresponsiveness. :3
|
Chrome and Safari both have it. (Safari's seems buggy, though; its only choices are "kill everything" or "wait" -- you can't stop the one unresponsive page.)
|
That is a downside to safari, but I still enjoy it mainly for it's ease of use....especially integrating the search bar and the address bar together (granted, Chrome was the first to do this).
|
I actually DISlike that feature, but what are ya gonna do. *shrug* I know I'm in the minority there, but all of the major browsers do it now.
|
Too bad you can't specifically modify your browsers to remove the feature, Coda. :P
|
You can in Firefox. I'm not sure about Safari. I don't think so on Chrome.
|
Chrome I know you can't, and same for Safari unless you have an older version and refuse to upgrade. That is only for Mac users though, since Apple discontinued updates for the Windows version of its browser.
|
Well, guess I can't do anything about it since I mainly use Chrome with a bit of Safari every now and then. >w> Not that I even know how to work with coding and stuff anyways. XD
