Safari. It works for me on 99% of the stuff I view and it is super easy to use. I dislike IE a lot. | | | |

Firefox - open source not Microsoft

I always preferred IE, but once I got a wide-gamut monitor the lack of color management support was a deal-breaker. FireFox has color management so that what I use (the color management is half-assed, but it's better than nothing). Now that I've been using FF for a while there are things I like (particularly some of the extensions), but there are also little things that still drive me crazy like the fact that the list of URL's in the address bar drop-down is completely random and useless when it should contain the last-n addresses that I typed.

FF on XP and Vista. FF on Linux Mepis and Xubuntu. Security of course, but it's all about the add-ons. FYI FF3.6 is now out. :) | | | |

Probably need a thread: which FF add-ons do you use? Autopager and fire gestures rock too. | | | |

I use Firefox on my xp/2k boxes and safari on my leopard/tiger boxes. I cant really distinguish them from each other. I tried out chrome, and it seems to be the same... I do use IE to use OWA for school though. | | | |

Firefox on XP Pro. Been using it for years, lots of bookmarks and extensions, no desire to switch.

FF and Safari. For some reason FF doesn't play well with certain Java applications such as Facebook's photo upload. Safari comes to the rescue for stuff like that. I would probably use Safari more if I could easily transfer my bookmarks over from FF.  | | | |

FF on XP Pro as well. Recently installed Safari on my main PC and like it but just can't get over the hump to quit FF. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
