What browser do you use and why?
-
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)
-
latest NEXT (19.0.1326.2)
no crashes, bookmarks bar working fine (middle click doesn't cancel folder menu)… very good build (as the previous was) -
Opera 12, since there is no newer Opera for Linux.
-
Chrome. Opera 12.x was quite broken on Mac, which made me switch to Chrome, and when 15+ came around, I saw no particular reason to switch back, since it just was Chrome in a new dress.
(That said: I use Safari for Netflix since it doesn't make my fans spin like crazy)
Edit: I need to learn to paranthesize properly so LISP won't hate me
-
Mainly Opera 12.16 (I'm on Kubuntu), but with the help of Chromium and Firefox simultaneously.
I've tested a lot of browser, and didn't find anything that came close to Opera.
And not one of them allow to put the tabbar at the bottom of the screen… -
I use Opium far as long as it exists as main browser, most of the time the dev flavour of it (having junctioned/linked all channels' profile folders switching between channels doesn't matter much to me – except dooming data loss, of course. ).
I have Opera 12 hibernating with a ±100 tabs session, though. May be I should do some house keeping…
Integrated Opera Mail has been replaces by online InnoReader (and TheBat, which has been my e-mail application of choice for ages – a love/hate relationship).
