1256588 2012-01-30 05:52:00 Tried the others went back to FF, found Chrome to minimalist, it hides all the things you need to use. Tried a couple of x64 bit versions of FF but have ended up back with the standard version as although addons work on 64bit plugins don't gary67 (56)
1256589 2012-01-30 05:53:00 Just used safari as it was the default, then flash kept on crashing it. Then switched to FF, but that got slow, am now using chrome which seems to have no problems so far. plod (107)
1256590 2012-01-30 06:01:00 I have clients that need to access some particular websites that have been designed to work best with FF or Chrome, and dont have a problem with that either. I blame the website developer who cant build a website that is cross browser compatable or that suits the majority.Why would anyone think to build a standards compliant website when they could instead build it for IE that makes up the rules as it goes ... fred_fish (15241)

1256592 2012-01-30 07:47:00 Been a Chrome freak since it came out. Waiting for them to smack out an OS and I will install that as well.
Leave IE for the old buggers.

1256593 2012-01-30 08:53:00 I liked Firefox for quite some time (2007 ish until March 2011). Then I switched to Opera. This was mainly because I found Firefox 4+ very clunky and slow. I really liked Opera alot, but got annoyed with having to click inside Flash to activate it and a number of other quirks. I've been using Chrome since November last year and have been liking it, partticulary since it has lots of extensions - my initial reason for switching to Firefox from IE.

I still use one of my favourite features of Opera inside Chrome - using a single character to select a search engine (eg w <search query> to search Wikipedia)
