Have used Firefox and nothing else for years now. It just works. Never ever crashes. Very occasionally I'll come across a badly set up site where the things you click on dont appear in Firefox but it's rare.MartDude wrote:I'm currently using IE 8, & it's pissing me off, 'cos it keeps crashing.
Just done a search on here re Chrome & Firefox, and haven't come across any recent comments on them; just wondered how they compare now to IE?
Thanks in advance
Browser choices?

I migrated from FireFox 3.6 (or something) to Safari 5.0.4, and everything seemed pretty good for a while.
Now Safari is as fast as a tranquilised tortoise stampeding through peanut butter. I've tried all the usual cache-flushing tricks without any success.
So now I'm evaluating FireFox 4.0. In my (so far) 30 seconds of testing, it's faster than a greased pig. Hopefully it will stay that way.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

I use pretty much every major broswer on the web.
firefox & chrome are my main 2.
opera,safari, ie8, ie9, ff 3.7, ff4.0, - all used to some extent when web designing.
I even dabble into netscape every now and again just to have a laugh at it.
They are all pretty much the same these days. Use whichever one crashes the least, and has the best apps.
(never had chrome crash, but firefox has the best apps)

Good old Nutscrape. Was good until it was bought out by AOL in the late 90's. The Netscape browser hasn't been around for years. AOL ditched it and not many used it. Mozilla developed the last few, but was ditched in favour of Firefox.
I've switched to Chrome for now.. Pretty stable and never had a crash.. yet!

How it lays things out is comical, and it doesn't even have an understanding of AJAX - funny as netscape pretty much designed and implemented javascript.
