EvLPhenom Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 At work I use Chrome mainly, IE occasionally for bits and pieces. At home I use Safari as my main browser on Mac but do have Chrome installed in case I save a favorite in Chrome that i want to read at home.
Gdog Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I cant use chrome, the settings menu is so simple its just confusing
npowell Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I tend to use Firefox as it seems to be more stable than Chrome. IE is not an option at all..... ever!
halbaradkenafin Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome everywhere as it syncs everything across devices (I know FF will as well but I'm already set up with Chrome). IE and FF when needed for work or testing but that's not often.
LosOjos Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I did try using IE at work, but got tired of it's sluggishness. *SNIP* 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. Seems legit I seem to yo-yo between Firefox and Chrome - at the moment favouring Chrome. Both can be massive resource hogs, Firefox appears to suffer from a memory leak bug when using OWA (good job I don't have to use that too often!). Also have persistent issues with Firefox not rendering properly if the screen has been unlocked in Windows 8.1, have to close and re-open it for it to work correctly again. From a developer's POV, Chrome is by far the easiest platform to develop for (Safari is pretty simple too, but has some irritating limitations), so I use it a lot when I'm developing anything, gets me off the ground quickly then I can go and deal with whatever hoops FF/Safari want me to jump through. IE add-on development is beyond a joke - it's no wonder hardly anyone bothers!
ButterflyMoon Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Chrome on all the work machines and Firefox at home. Have used Firefox for years and love it.
difinity Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Firefox on my PC and phone, running Ghostery and Adblock.
LeMarchand Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Seems legit Also have persistent issues with Firefox not rendering properly if the screen has been unlocked in Windows 8.1, have to close and re-open it for it to work correctly again. Badly explained on my part! I don't find IE or Chrome that "fast" and my heavy use of FF add-ons to improve my browsing experience means that I can't get as much done as quickly. It's possible equivalent Chrome extensions exist, but I haven't got the time to find them. I had a similar problem with FF and W10, but recent updates seem to have fixed that.
LeMarchand Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I forgot mobile use! Tablet is a Playbook, so the (rubbish) stock browser or Origami (slightly better) and Opera Mobile on my phone.
mthomas08 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 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. I didn't vote because again I multi choice. Use IE as preferred one but I do sometimes use FireFox/Chrome, I rarely have any issues on IE.
