Which?

blightedsight · 11th Aug 2012, 02:39 AM

Firefox does everything I need it to.

My boyfriend is constantly on at me to change to Google Chrome, but I don't see the benefits.

Chrome has better standards compliance. (although its mainly obscure stuff that won't have any impact on most sites)

Please don't let Robert win this poll - he's an insufferable bore when he is winning at stuff.

Chrome.

Vesper · 11th Aug 2012, 06:16 AM

My vote's for Chrome, though Firefox is also an excellent browser.

**BudderMC** · 11th Aug 2012, 07:33 AM

Firefox for me; I never liked the layout of Chrome for some reason.

Also lol @ no IE votes. xD

Lovely · 11th Aug 2012, 07:39 AM

I'll recognize that Chrome is just as technically good as Firefox, but like Budder I just never liked the layout. Firefox feels more straightforward to me.

Tetraquark · 11th Aug 2012, 07:53 AM

I voted for "other". I don't like IE's new layout, and Firefox crashes all the time. I can't get Chrome to install on my computer. So I tried Opera, and overall I like it. It rarely crashes and is relatively fast. However, a couple updates ago some stuff that used to work, like Youtube and soundcloud, stopped working. It's fixed now, but since Opera isn't widely used, I imagine there will be more compatibility issues in the future.

Jeca · 11th Aug 2012, 07:54 AM

Chrome!

SunSparks · 11th Aug 2012, 08:18 AM

Chrome Chrome Chrome Chrome Chrome Chrome Chrome Chrome Chrome.

Yes, FF is wonderful for some people, but I have used every major browser out there. Chrome is my fav because its layout and just how it works receives the most productivity points in my book. Everything is exactly where I need it to be and it quick and easy to get where I need to go. It also looks better. FF still looks old even tho it tried to copy chrome. IE looks better than FF! I mean, where are you going to find a aqua blue, yellow, and black theme that has a nice drawn cloud and says cloud of loveliness! Only chrome xD. Plus integration with google account is beautiful. When I don't want to use chrome, I turn to Opera - yes, its actually a lot better than people give it credit for, esp in speed.

Given To Fly · 11th Aug 2012, 09:27 AM

I've used Chrome since the day it was first released - I love it's trimmed down layout. I'm forced to use IE at work, and despise it. Right now I'm using Safari on my ipad, and it does the job, but Chrome wins hands down for me.

MusicIsLife · 11th Aug 2012, 10:17 AM

I'd have to say Firefox. I've never used Chrome but Tumblr is SO SLOW on Safari it makes me angry and want to throw things, and IE is IE, no explanation needed.

timo · 11th Aug 2012, 10:47 AM

I love how IE still has no votes.

Anyway. I'm a satisfied Chrome user. It does everything I need, and fast. I used to use Safari and while I still love it cause it looks so neat it makes everything slow.

secretgirlX · 11th Aug 2012, 10:52 AM

I use google chrome, because my brother's so insistent on me using it, but my favorite is safari. I haven't used it in a while, but I just love the layout. But I guess it's really a tie between chrome and safari for me. I chose safari though.

armsoutfarther · 11th Aug 2012, 11:18 AM

I love Firefox and Chrome but I've been using Chrome a lot now. It seems faster for now and it's neater (and it has some pretty cool stuff). But Firefox is just as good.

**thecat06** · 11th Aug 2012, 11:28 AM

Cascade · 11th Aug 2012, 04:44 PM

Firefox. Chrome just helps feed the enormous information blob Google has become. It's sketchy enough as-is.
