Holy Mother Of All Internet Browsers (4 Viewers)

i used to have the chrome fb and gmail extention, but it got way too distracting when i was doing uni stuff (my attention span is tiny enough as it is), so i took em off

Chrome. Seriously, who needs all the add-ons and stuff the other browsers have??

What I love about chrome is the ability to "search from the address bar". I love it so much. Can't do it on IE and Im pretty sure you can't do it on FF (last time I checked).

Also, chrome is so fast!! I cringe when I open IE or FF... takes way to long!

but chrome lags a bit sometimes, when i have like 15-20 tabs open :/

Have you ever tried opening them in a new window? When I get more then 10 or so open, I get the next ones in a new window. Doesn't lag then (well, doesn't lag for me lol)

chrome has "extensions" which are ad-ons by another name

I know, what I mean is that IE & FF have so many different things with the browser that slows it down, before you have user add ons

Pretty sure I was a Firefox fanboy when I voted here but I now use Chrome.

 

[TehAzner]

Firefox hands down!

 

[adomad]

when i read the thread title, i thought someone on BOS created a web browser.... but firefox FTW

 

[proletariat]

So which browser is the best and why?

Which has the best addons?

Which is the quickest?

Which one is the biggest hog?

Which one has the sexiest themes?

Which one do you actually use?

Firefox is the best cus you can customise it the most

Firefox = addons

firefox = quickest with tweaking

firefox = biggest, or smallest hog, all depends on tweaking

firefox

firefox

Copeys, you are able to set other browsers to search from the address bar, did it the other week out of force of habit when I was using FF at school.

Chrome is actually really light weight if you don't have a huge number of tabs and windows open.

Thanks for correcting me

Firefox seems to be getting slower with each update for some reason.

And opera Mini ftw for iphone, best upgrade i've ever had.

Each new tab in Chrome is a new process... each process is liek 25 MB, 20 tabs is 500 MB... sucks if you have less than 1 GB RAM... opening a new window won't do anything...

firefox is win
sxc themes, add ons, and fast browsing
rofl @ the people who voted for IE :L

the only thing good about chrome is it uses less recources than firefox, i tried it but the layout was all weird haha

Umm... Chrome uses moar resources than Firefox...

 

[Arcorn]

Meh, I never have a problem. I've only got 1.5gbs of RAM and generally have 3 windows up with 5-10 tabs open in each. Still runs faster than FireFox sadly enough.

 

[Nirraic]

I vote for Opera, Sorry but firefox is shit it can't even connect to most networks.
also the speed dial feature is quite handy.

 

[hscishard]

Mosiac.

It comes down to the skin if you have 2GB+ Ram and a decent CPU.

 

[appletoa]

how about links then, if we're going in for archaic web browsers
