What Browser Do You Use?

[Perth]

Just curious what everyone uses. I know Tom encourages Firefox usage (or used to at least). Does anyone switch over to Firefox (or other) just for Battlemaster? Anyone use multiple browsers regularly?

I'm a longtime Firefox user. Just downloaded Firefox 4 today and I'm really enjoying it. Loving the new interface improvements and (what seems to be) zippier performance so far.

I prefer Google Chrome. They are one of the smartest companies out there and the layout is easier than FF for me. It's a very easy browser to use or you can make it wicked cool and complex

Google Chrome would indeed be my second choice. I've used it some, and enjoy it, but Firefox really is my true love. Also, I'm on a Mac, and last time I was using Chrome, the OS X version wasn't quite as robust as it's Windows counter-part (though that may be because I was testing out the Beta at the time, can't remember now).

I was a long term firefox user. But the time it has taken to get firefox 4 out was just painful. On my machine flash intensive apps were running really slow. I changed to chrome and had an immediate speed up. I currently do a lot of HMTL 5 stuff with canvas, again chrome was simply faster then the competition. IE 9 and Firefox 4 in my opinion are just playing catch up to chrome at this stage.

Firefox all the way And yeah, I started using it due Battlemaster. Yet another great thing about the game!

Used to be a big time FF user, but jumped ship to Chrome as soon as it came out. For me it's less bloated than FF has become.

I used Firefox for years right up until about a month ago when I was having issues with Firefox slowing way down or just crashing constantly. So, I decided to make a full switch to Chrome (which I've always had installed as a backup) and I havent really bothered looking back.

Opera man here. Began trying it intermittently a few years ago, but always fell back to Firefox and it's extensions. But I started to fall in love with Opera after 9.5. Then Opera 10 came along under the banner of being 'the fastest browser on earth' and any lingering doubts disappeared. Great interface, email client, found a few useful things to do with Opera Unite. I've never looked back.

Firefox 4 looks like it took blatant visual cues from Opera 10+. Have used Chrome recently and Opera is definitely at least it's equal. Not sure extensions are yet up to par with those of other browsers and ad blocking on Opera has always been painful compared to other browsers but you have to take the rough with the smooth >.< Only reason I use Firefox now is to view those websites that still can't get their heads round Opera.

I could never get the hang of Opera.

I have used FF for a long time, but have recently switched to Chrome. FF has just seemed to be getting a lot more bloated and balky, especially when using a lot of Flash stuff. Chrome doesn't seem to have that problem. Or at least not as bad.

Firefox: AdBlock Plus!

Chrome as a back-up.

This needs to be a multiple-select poll 

Android Browser most of the time now, Konqueror (KDE default browser) or Iceweasel (Firefox with copyright graphics etc removed) when on Linux desktop and Firefox on Windows. Also Opera on phone, Linux or Windows.

I used firefox until I found chrome. Then I fell in love with chrome.

Mostly use FF but sometimes IE or Chrome.
I already had FF before I played battlemaster but it was one of the reasons to start using it more and with an IE update I disliked I changed to FF as main and if I have a reason not to use FF I try Chrome and/or IE.

Opera is a good browser, but falls behind in a few speed related tasks. Mostly that is to do with javascript execution, so its not noticeable on most web pages, but if you use javascript heavy web apps, you would notice the the difference. That said the speed between the browsers is really quite close now, with the exception of the canvas element for HTML 5. Firefox and Opera fall behind IE 9 and Chrome on that, though I've not tested Firefox 4 in that regard.

In any case, I think I'll always use a browser with a lower popularity; both for security reasons as to force the other browsers to keep on reinventng themselves.

The day FF gets the biggest user base, I'm switching over to something else.
