Windows 10: View Poll Results: Which web browser(s) do you use ?

I'm not sure I follow.

IE10 is lightning fast compared to IE8 (which is on my XP install).

I guess W10 uses IE11 and it hasn't seemed slow.

On the VM I built for my web course, I haven't really noticed any speed difference between Chrome, FF, IE10, Maxthon and Opera.

 

I see many people using Seamonkey here. I am going to try it.

OT:-
4 more votes are required for Google Chrome to cross IE. Lets see

 

That was directed at Chuck and his emoticon. "Whistling Dixie" is an American term meaning living in a dream world. *Tongue

IE is just fine. All this browser stuff is just a matter of choice IMO.

 

Exactly! *Thumbs

 

From a webmaster/designer point of view IE should be scrapped, it's just not compliant with the way all the other browsers do things and causes all sorts of problems.

BTW for all our sites the best browser to use is firefox.

I took a online class for the computer language Python and I had to use either FF or Chrome. IE just didn't work at all with the web site for the class. You couldn't run the code online or submit your programs.

FF all the way.. at least for this bunny. *Wink

 

The meaning became apparent when I read the etymology(?)/origin of the phrase. *Smile

Strangely enough I did come across something that seemed to work better in IE10 than Chrome or FF.
I can't remember what it was now though

It might have been when we were playing with Google Maps.
I seem to recall that Chrome was the most cantankerous browser with Google Maps! *Shock

Chrome 99% of the time. Ya'know... CSS3 and HTML5 support... not to mention the handy app start screen that has my email, calendar, etc in it which can give me desktop notifications about events.

I'll sometimes use Chrome Canary to troubleshoot something as it can run stand-alone, but I rarely do that because it's pretty buggy in it's own right.

The only thing that shits me about chrome that IE has is a bookmarks menu that you can pin to the left of the browser. A very handy feature if you've got lots of bookmarks, and frequently use a lot of them. You can achieve similar things with chrome extensions, but they're all terrible. Instead I'm stuck with a bookmarks bar with a very complicated folder structure that I give single-letter names so I can fit many on there.

 

There is not allot of deference between google bookmarks and Internet explorer favorites if you delete all of the built in favorites folders except the favorites bar folder,
Then simply make a folder called Bookmarks and save everything to it,
Rename the same way as google's
Manage favorites and Sort By Name and viola you have Google Bookmarks in ie...

Firefox in win-10 was very slow for me
I haven't used Chrome in a while and I was never really impressed by it as it's a resource hog *Wink

 

PM 25.0.2 (64 bit) seems quite fast running on my W10 VM.

I've always found it strange that people "wax lyrical" about Chrome (and its resource usage).

The way I browse (minimum of 20 open tabs) Chrome uses far more RAM than FF (or PM).
Once I had >200 tabs open in FF.

An interesting thing I've noticed on my PC is that FF uses far less RAM running on LM17 than it does on Windows.

 

lol I find it difficult to keep up with 5 tabs *Smile
"wax lyrical" :/
Most of Chrome is what is not obviously running *Wink

 

I'm starting to use Pale Moon more often now, occasionally I'll use IE11 but that's too unpredictable these days on 10 as well as 7 and 8.

BTW for all our sites the best browser to use is firefox. Yep, thats for almost all web designers. I am also a designer/developer but Chrome and Mozilla FF never inspired me at all. I think choosing Chrome and FF is a bad choice for web developers. If we just consider overall, we may get Chrome with high users. But if we take a simple survey, we will find that most of the users (Excluding experts/web devs) uses Chrome and FF for using FB, Youtube, etc.

If all web designers will choose to design and test with Chrome and FF then users of other browsers will suffer due to low quality design. I think for designers, best choice is to design and test with other browsers other then Chrome and FF. Choosing browsers like Opera, IE, Pale moon, Maxthon, etc are best for web designing. And later they can just test and support their designs with FF and chrome.
Whatever I am telling is true. Many users suffers due to the web designs which are designed only for Chrome and FF. I see many people asking on IE forums, opera support that they are suffering from the bad behavior of browsers because they are not loading web designes properly. And finally, they will blame Web Browser developers.

Anyways, just choice matters, IMO.

 

The way I browse it's just too easy to do.

For example, I log in here, open the threads in my CP and any that look interesting in the News & General sections (~10 tabs).
Additionally, I sometimes log in to SevenForums at the same time and open the same type of tabs there (now I'm up to ~20 tabs).

If you think that's bad, you don't want to see what happens when I go to TV Tropes. *Biggrin
Going there puts an end to any other activities I had planned for the rest of the day.

I've avoided updating to IE11 (in W7).

IE10 doesn't seem too bad, even though I only open it very rarely.
If I'm having Internet issues, I sometimes try opening an address in IE10, to check how it responds.
