What browser do you use?

Recommended Posts

I know there are several bugs with this site in say Firefox or Safari but aren't present in IE.

My poll is basically, is there a bunch of us using other than IE? I just want to know before I start investing time in trying to find/fix them if most people are on IE.

Also, what bugs do you find most annoying and which browser? I'm kind of bored.

Missing "Opera".:P



I did say OTHER :P


I actually found Opera to be the only browser that would work with a broken insurance company website a week ago. (IE not an option here).

Firefox with the noscript plugin was my browser for a long time, but on the sites where I do allow javascript (Including a couple of Hudson pages at work,) I've found that Chrome renders them much faster. Chrome also has a noscript-like addon so I can disable javascript on most sites. I find browsing the web to be much less obnoxious if you do this. The sites that demand javascript be turned on are easily blacklisted and never visited again.

While my favorite by a mile is Chrome, it annoys the hell out of me that Google *still* has not released a 64-bit version for Mac OS X, making it incompatible with the 64-bit-only Java on Mac OS X.

Websites that use Flash for no good reason annoy the hell out of me so I have long used FlashBlock to stop Flash unless I really want to see it. Just a few weeks ago I realized the Chrome has the function buillt-in, and I didn't even need FlashBlock, so I removed it.

I've been happy with Mozilla Firefox on my PCs as long as AdBlock+ is plugged in. I quit using Explorer years ago.

As for the iPad, I just use what came with it - Safari since I don't know any better. I'm not a nuts and bolts kind of user like you are, but you already know that. ;)

The one that bugged me this morning was in Firefox/Safari when replying to a PM, using any of the faces or tags (code, reply, quote, bold...) kicked that to the end of the message instead of where the cursor is.

Ah yes, I've noticed that too. But mostly the emoticon tags.

I do so LUV watching people try so hard to not use the browser that is built into the operating system they use.

Until IE takes over Android, iOS devices, Linux/Unix and MacOS... then it's not really a solution worth debating :P

Have you ever had to create/maintain webpages that:

a) work on non-IE browser i.e. use universally accepted standards
b) are more complex the plain HTML with text and pictures?

IMO IE is a horrible satan spawn that was put to this planet to drive people insane.

Personally I've been using Opera since 2000 and have absolutely no reason to use other browsers (beyond testing that the pages I'm responsible for work on them).
Your rights end where my feelings begin.
