What browser do you use?

[haggered]

Afternoon all,

Just started using chrome. Seems pretty good, maybe slightly better than firefox. The extensions seem OK too. Got radio, spell check, ad blocker and site blocker. I tried opera but it crashed about three times in quick succession.

What do other people think of chrome compared to the competition?

It's faster to load than firefox, I do miss some of the extensions from firefox. I hate chrome's autocomplete for forms, it's awful compared to FF's and IE's.

Firefox...it's just better (imo)

Gave Chrome a quick go when it first came out but ditched it quickly due to lack of essential plugins at the time.
AdBlock is an absolute requirement for me.

 

[Ch3tan]

It has adblock.

Chrome is faster to load but Firefox is (still) better once it's loaded imo.

I use Iceweasel (Firefox's Debian alter-ego) because Chrome doesn't theme well in my window manager and looks all blue and out of place. I do like the combined search and address bar in Chrome, since it increases the available screen real estate in a 16:9 laptop screen.

Is there a FF plugin which does thes?

I have keywords set up so I just type g (for google natch) in the address bar and then the search or "w" for wikipedia etc. It's about as hassle-free as I can make it and no need for extra toolbars or search boxes up there. If you right click on any search input on any site you can "add a keyword for this search" or something similar and go from there.

Chromium (not Chrome) almost exclusively whether I'm on Ubuntu, Peppermint or XP at work although I do use IE9 a bit on Win7.

FF is the primaryone for me tho chromium and opera get a lookin as well

on my ip004 its atomic browser

Firefox. Lastpass is a proper add-on for it and fucking rocks. Swiftfox on my Linux netbook because it's shit hot fast.

Willy: Just wait for firefox 4 tbh. From what I've see it just lays out the firefox UI that way as 3 looks like 4 when I run the beta on the same machine.

I use Chrome, it's nice and speedy compared to Firefox, it also has much less UI space wastage - although that's changing with Firefox 4.

Not found myself missing any extensions, Chrome has all the ones I care about (which is basically just adblock). I agree about the form auto completion though, Chrome's a bit lacking at the moment.

Chrome and IE8 at work (IE is just less of a pain in the arse with sharepoint)

FF, IE9 and Opera at home, Dolphin and Opera Mini on my Tab.

 

[Helme]

Firefox, mostly because it's a pain in the ass to transfer over most of my settings and addons to something else.

Chrome.
