Which Internet Browsers Do You Use?

[timid1]

I use Safari with "Private Browsing" for HA etc , then reset Safari after each use , in the hope of maximum privacy/safety.
For everything else I use Firefox, which I prefer.

whats the best tablet to buy right now, chromebook or ipad ?
I'm looking at the new Samsung chromebook because it has a physical keyboard and it's around $250 but the ipad2 has come down in price since the mini came out.

I'm interested in easy to use browsing, email, facebook, etc. not building a rocket over here. thoughts ?

I think it's ridiculous that anyone needs to use different browsers for different sites. I just got a new computer which has Windows 8 and IE9. The only problem I have had with IE9 so far is on another TGirl forum. It doesn't allow me to color the text and also I can't skip a line. How stupid is that? My problem is that I'm an old dude and trying to figure out how to use the other browsers is a pain in the ass.

I use Safari primarily, but on iPad use Perfect Browser - better/easier to use privacy features.

IE has always had problems with translating and correctly supporting web standards. If at all possible, I script while keeping Internet Explorer compatibility in mind, but when it comes to personal projects and testing my layouts under different browsers to ensure compatibility, I ignore IE because I already know it's going to give me issues and I'd rather not end up using a bunch of CSS hacks I wouldn't normally need if Internet Explorer didn't blow goats for quarters.

Unfortunately, either a lot of other web developers agree or don't test browser compatibility at all. There are a lot of nifty little ways around Internet Explorer's problems, but I liken it to practically scripting out two or more completely different webpages since everything ends up with some conditional script modification just incase a user is running certain versions of Internet Explorer.

I'd recommend pressing-ahead on using a new web browser. I'd probably suggest Google Chrome or Opera; in that order. Chrome can be modified through it's settings and toolbar customization to be really simple and no-frills.


Problem is, getting it there is complicated. Kinda redundant that to make things simple, you need to do a bunch of complicated customization. It's still worth using Chrome as-is. At least you won't experience almost nonsensical script-interpretation problems as you surf the web.
