liveman2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 What's your browser of choice? and... What do you pre-install/allow your users to use? Personally Chrome is such a resource hog that I'm moving back to Firefox. It seems to be a little more stable now then it was a few years back.
FN-GM Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Chrome at home but IE at work, purely due to compatibility reasons.
rich_tech Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Personally I use Chrome on a Windows Machine of any kind that I can install apps onto, Safari on my mac and iPhone. Our users use IE for management though as its configurable. IE is the best browser though, for downloading other browsers, as the various MeMe's state
6Foot2 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Chrome for me. My favorites are synchronised anywhere I log into Chrome as are my Chrome extensions. Internet Explorer for applications/tasks at work, however, Chrome is available for staff that would prefer to use it.
Sylv3r Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Use IE and Chrome at work and Safari on my macs at home. Students and staff have the choice of chrome or IE at work.
jamesfed Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I use IE, I see no problem with it (no really!) Google Chrome is deployed for those who want to use it at work.
MatthewL Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Moved to Chrome last year from Firefox. I do from time to time use IE & Firefox mainly due to application comparability issues.
Gatt Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome for me too Use IE only when I need to for work and Firefox/Tor Browser for *cough* *cough* ahem...
elsiegee40 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 At home, I use Chrome on all devices. Firefox is installed on the desktop so I can modify the school website and that's all it gets used for. IE is installed on the desktop because Mr Gee40 won't use Chrome on it despite using Chrome on his iPad and phone. It is handy to have more thsn one browser installed as, periodically, something won't work on on one browser or the other. At school, both IE and Chrome are installed. As a GAfE school, staff are rapidly making the switch to it. Firefox installed only for the two people who amend the schooll website.
Domo Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Firefox at home and at work. I do however have all three installed both at home and at work just because... xD
LincolnE Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome at work and home for myself. Works with all my android devices and we use google for education, so it ties in nicely though.
CAM Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome at home because it seems to just work for me. Firefox always ends up sluggish (although it's installed on my laptop). IE at work because forced to.
rickjames Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome everywhere. Still surprises me how many staff use IE.
witch Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 IE installed on all school computers along with Chrome Personally use Chrome at home but have IE and Firefox as well just in case!
Diello Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Firefox at the moment - Used to be Chrome until the resource hogging and frequent crashes became too much to bear.
Garacesh Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Long-time Chrome fanboy, though oftentimes I have both Chrome and IE open to test compatibility or login to the same service as 2 different users (recently Office365) as it saves setting up a laptop next to me.
LeMarchand Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Firefox. Been using it from before Google started their plan for world domination and have a number of extensions/tweaks that I find very useful. Occasionally use Opera + ADV-TOR client to get around location/ISP blocks. I did try using IE at work, but got tired of it's sluggishness. Also experimented with Chrome but didn't find it any better than Firefox plus Google already know far too much about my browsing habits . At school they have IE but I had to bow to public demand and allow Chrome as apparently "it's sooooo much faster". Can't say I noticed that, and suspect that a lot of the speed teachers report is due to caching of searches and personal data to predict behaviour.
unixman_again Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 At home Opera. Actually I have Opera, Firefox, Chrome, and Konqueror installed and I use them in that order of frequency. At work Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE - FF for our website (the rubbish CMS only really works in FF), Safari on the Mac (obviously) and IE for our MIS system (it only works in IE). The college computers have IE and Chrome installed on them and we default users to IE so that the MIS system works. Unfortunately this breaks much of the rest of the Internet and Moodle and we spend most of our time telling people to try the website in Chrome where it will probably work. When they spend money on Prezi Suitcase, we spent about a month showing teachers how to open the site in Chrome and then it was still 50/50 if it would work, depending on the number of people trying to access the site.
nyiss Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Safari/ Chrome combo for me. Staff have a preference for IE here but the head has began the arduous task of forcing them all over to chrome to line up with our calendars/ drives/ emails etc.
hardtailstar Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I use chrome at home logged in to my google account so get all the services and features. At work I use Chrome not logged into a google account. I use IE to check things if they do not work on chrome
Norphy Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 At work, Chrome. We have Chrome installed across the site as well because it can be controlled centrally (unlike Firefox). I'd say that the vast majority of students use it and probably 60-75% of the staff too. At home, I switch between Safari and Chrome.
sparkeh Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome everywhere for me. Think I'm too far in to swap now (bookmarks, plugins, extentions etc). School machines have IE and Chrome for people to choose from. We use GAfE so Chrome gets used a lot more.
HarryMonkey Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 IE for me both at home and at work although most of my browsing at home is via my iPad so use Safari. All of our workstations here have IE (default) and Chrome.
localzuk Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome everywhere. IE for those things that need it. Firefox for my "unfiltered internet" browser for site checking. I'm also looking at Vivaldi. Its a nice and quick browser!
