stoo2000 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 For general browsing I use IE8. I use a combination of IE8 & FireFox for web development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 never personally bothered with any other browsers, I tend to stick to IE8 after trying both the two you mentioned and finding them no faster or lacking most of the additional features IE8 offers as standard.

Stu Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Failfox is slow junk. Chrome is faster. IE8 appears to be a good all-rounder. I use all of them, for different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I used to be a firefox man but now it fails hard!Google chrome was nice for a few weeks but I grow bored of it, so I think i'm just gonna stick with IE once my new computer pitches up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People confuse EVO loading faster with a browser being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Why would there never be an alternative to IE?* Setting up a network switch/router etc prior to internet connection.* Replacing a home "freebie" router with something a little more... urm... reliable prior to internet connection* Setting up a bussiness network including router for an internet connection.* Website designning on a non-internet connected PC.* Using work PCs with restrictions like installing applications (ie: new browsers) The list goes on... and on... I've tried Chrome... It didn't perform to daily use standards for me.I've tried Safari... Again it didn't perform as I would expect for daily use.I've tried IE... It's ok if there isn't anything else... Newer versions seem to seriously lag on older systems.I've tried Opera... It's fairly good, performance/display issues let it down in areas... I rely on it for mobile/PDA purposes.I've tried Netscape... Who uses that anymore?I've tried Firefox... So far it's not let me down on what I wanted for a daily use browser... Firefox is where I stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I switched back to IE in its present form some time ago from being a firefox lover. I simply wouldnt return to firefox, Microsoft has come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 ditto, i was a firefox junky, but switched back recently after i found it easier, quicker, generally displaying pages how they mean't to be displayed, not how mozilla felt it should be displayed. Plus im OWA user, anything other than IE is unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
