What browser do you use and why?
-
I've been using Chrome for about a year or so and I like it fine. Used to be a big Opera user, but Chrome is on my laptop and at work. It just got to be more convenient. Plus it has a Tetris extension that I can't quit playing.
-
I upgraded Opera on my main workstation because I prefer the new, separate Opera mailer in any case. Without Link working I did not see much reason to go on using Opera 12 at the time. I use Chrome for some (many) sites, and have IE as default to use for one-off sites and to listen to Norwegian radio (the NRK player does not work well in Opera).
-
I'm using Opera 12 and sometimes Firefox Nightly UX. In the future, I will move on Firefox. I hate Chrome.
-
I primarily use Chromium. It's fast, works well and offers extensions I like to use.
P.S. I need a browser with a built in e-mail client! As of now Chrome with Gmail integration is as close as it gets like now.
-
Since a Web browser is not that important for me, as it was 5, 10 or 15 years ago, I had no problem with switching to Chromium based Opera. I use the Stable stream (and sometimes run Next and Developer builds just for Opera localization purposes - to see the new strings in action).
I still have Opera 12 on my disk, but I use it rarely. As it comes to e-mail, I've switched to the separate Opera Mail client. It sucks a bit, but I do not need much nowadays (Well, I miss Opera Mail search and filtering capabilities at my work, where I have to use Outlook).
And… I do not need to use Chrome as my secondary browser anymore
-
I use both Opera 12 and chromium based Opera Next. As a web developer I can't stick with O12 because I need and want to work with newest standards so lately I use Chromium Opera most of the time, but I still do miss dozens of features I got used to in presto Opera.
-
Not that many IE users here :silly:
-
Not that many users at all :evil:
-
Opera 12.16, but I prepare to switch to Firefox. It's slow but at least deeply extensible and customizable. The Chrome is faster but much more memory hog and it's still a barebone rendering engine with a few "features".
Apart from the lack of many features the memory requirements the second big reason why not use Chrome. Because I open many tabs at once and I highly customize my browser. In Chrome if I install 60-70 extensions (most of Opera 12 features I can't replace) it eats 1-1,5 GB of RAM with one tab which is about:memory
When I open 50+ tabs I need at least 8 GB only for browsing. But I only have 2 GB in all.
-
I am using new Opera nowadays with OM. Mine is mostyl to test for browser but of course I miss 12x series.
-
11.64 because I still use Unite and Widgets for some things, 12.16 with the latest Dragonfly linked from the HDD, a s**tload of custom buttons and userJS and several additional panels as main workhorse for surfing and development, mail and chat, IE11 and a ton of other browsers - most of them in their cutting edge version - to test things.
I'd like to have a combination of the best features of all browsers :lol:
-
Yes it was the best series in opera and nice buld 11.64. Sometimes I use as well
-
I use Opera 12 in Linux, and Chromium Opera on Windows. In past, I love Opera because of its features and vision for the Web, but now I don't like any browser. I use them because I have to use it. I don't have any other pretty option.
-
Opera 12! "The new Opera" is getting better, but I like my integrated mail experience!
-
Opera 11 at home and Opera 12.16 at work. My Opera 11 works fine, and I don't need some more problems with update to last version. On phone using Opera Mini, still better than Mobile, but some pages with JavaScript open in Chrome - in Android 4.4 it works faster and better than mobile
-
I use Opera Next as my main browser. I don't mind the separate mail client, starts up faster now (also because I'm not having a few gigabytes of Opera work mail anymore…), but it's a shame the separate client wasn't polished a bit more.
-
Yea, especially OM is really need some polish more. I am not sure but it seems they will not make more improvement as a long time…
-
I am using Opera Next, and 12.XX for some hacks,
when I need more power -
I use Opera 12.16 as my main browser (Opera 20 on test of course), Opera Wii, Opera Mini for Android, Opera on my Philips Net TV and Opera on my Archos Multimedia player
The end of Opera Presto is a problem for me. Not really found an alternative Internet Suite, such customizable, rich featured, so smart designed, reliable and fast…
-
Always latest stable Opera when on supported systems. 18 right now.
I am not really an advanced user at home so it already does most of what I need (except bookmarks, but I can use the speed dial as a temporary fix for now)
