Re: IE9: Beauty of the web?

Yeah... I've been using the Beta since it was available (beauty of the web; i laughed at that name) and it's actually pretty good.

I like the minimalist design and the implementation of the tabs (granted I would prefer if the tabs were at the top of the screen like it is is Chrome but eh...) add the fact that it's pretty fast and we have a browser that I can love.

Re: What is your web browser?

Fi-na-lly got myself Opera on my laptop and I love it. It's an incredibly awesome browser for surfing but I'll still use FF on my machine for coding since forums are way smoother on FF when you're html coding.

Re: What is your web browser?

I both have Google Chrome and Firefox on my laptop, and the computer shop where I usually play has the same two.

Between the two, I prefer Chrome a lot because it's way better that the other. Too much lagging occurs in Firefox for me.

Re: What is your web browser?

Explorer seems to be too outdated for me. The loading is very slow and I usually have to press Refresh again to load the entire page.

Re: What is your web browser?

Firefox. I stopped using IE awhile ago- it just irritates me too much. ^^;

Someone suggested I use 'chrome' but I'm just too lazy. XD

Re: What is your web browser?

I have tried using chrome but i find it really unfriendly. The bookmark, history management is really not practical and intuitive. Also i miss the top right navigation search of firefox that allows you to directly choose the site you want to search to ( google, wikipedia, dictionary...) so i guess i will get back to it. Plus i like the idea of GNU software so let's support them

Re: What is your web browser?

just trited firefox 4. The tab grouping is very clever. I can have all my mangahelpers forums in one group now :-)) And having the mail pined can be practical too.
Have some of you found some others interesting feature ?

Re: What is your web browser?

My laptop kinda died (the one I used Opera on) so I have to adapt to the performance decrease that FF gives me but I need it to be able to html code my forum messages and there are a couple of add-ons I need so I'm kinda FORCED to use Firefox.

FML

Though the latest update is rather neat.

Re: IE9: Beauty of the web?

you want to say that IE is nice browser
There are still a lot of sites that do not work well with Fire fox, Opera, Chrome.

I.E - is also the default browser so most people use it.

I have all three + Iorn on my Pc / laptop. Although I prefer to use Opera most of the time.

Re: IE9: Beauty of the web?

Opera lacks against the others in terms of add ons (used to). Recently Opera has added this feature but its not as good as the others. Most of what the other browsers use were already built into opera a long time ago but you have to manually go around enable features etc. I don't know the current load specs but Opera used to be a premium service browser and called it self the "fastest". Now its free and fallen behind on the newbies that came up and popularized all the hype.

Most people went with fire fox / similar browsers mostly due to the "customize ability" / add ons and popularity it got from that. While Opera didn't have that back then.

IE was upgrade but i hard deal with some issue for example, online class won't show up in IE but they work great with Firefox ... Firefox and IE are balance in my laptop but I am not sure about Chrome since so many post and other site recommend Chrome ... i wonder Chrome will support of my class and ususally movie online .. since Movie was lack in IE and Firefox ... but i prefer to see smooth in browser...

most annoy is tab , because tab is good for multitasking if i accident click on small red x .. tab was closed ... and i just learn about tab and memory ...

if you use too many tabs in IE or Firefox will eat share of memory in same time .. they will easily crash down in browser

i must limit 3 or 4 tabs in same time ( for me) regard new model laptop or old laptop...
