Which Browser Suits You Best?

[Disconnected]

Out of curiosity I tried Opera last night. It was pretty good, I guess, but I couldn't find any features that really stand out, is there some particular reason it's meant to be good?

I think Opera isn't much popular in the Computer world. But for the mobiles and smartphones, opera is the best.

... Firefox has the most functionality ...

Well, that depends on what you want to do. For some of what I do, it's utterly useless and I have to use IE.

What! IE can do something Firefox can't? I'd like to know what that is.

Well, the fundamental thing that I do pretty much every day that cannot be done with FireFox is to open a web page for editing of the HTML source so that I can edit it then click "refresh" and see the changes. I do that on my local computer 'til I get what I want then I upload it to the server. This inability makes FireFox useless to me as my default browser because I do that so often.

In my short-lived experience with Chrome, it didn't mesh well with Blackboard (which our university subscribes to for posting coursework). We recently had a Blackboard update, and I haven't checked into updating either Chrome or Firefox (admittedly)... so I'm not so sure about that situation now... but why mess with a good thing? Firefox (4.0.1) is still working for me (http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2010/12/03/meet-the-newest-and-cutest-mozillians/" , so that's a plus...)

I can't vote, I'm afraid (my iPod doesn't support polls) but Chrome all the way. Firefox takes too much memory and IE... Blegh.

I give this so little thought. I just realized that I use IE on my laptop and Firefox on the library computers. Until now I had no idea was using two different programs. For the light browsing that I do, there isn't enough difference for me to have noticed it. Can I vote for both of them?

Sorry, you can't because i didn't applied the setting of Multiple answers for the poll.

Haven't found anything Chrome can't do, and I do quite a lot online.

Chrome may eventually take me away from IE (which I've used since IE4). I couldn't get past the lack of integration that Firefox had with Windows, so I never jumped on that fad (Chrome is slowly adding integration features which are interesting me). The only performance increase I've seen on Firefox is when people have dozens of toolbars loaded in IE. Without any addons, the differences are unnoticable.

Also, IE is required for several different web-apps that I frequent for school and work. Once Chrome is fully supported, there's a chance I'll start to float over because it definitely feels smoother than IE on a fully supported site.
