What Browser do you use?

I have Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. I like Chrome but the thing eats memory like no ones business.

So I found UC Browser. Works across platforms even iOS for phones. Thninking about switching.

So what browser do you use and why?

Firefox on all desktop/laptop PCs, and a Mozilla-based browser on my phone. Firefox is the most extensible and customizable, even if it's not the fastest or most efficient anymore.

On my phone I also use a Mozilla-based browser...so about:config is still there and some plugin features can even be painstakingly ported across from desktop Firefox, as I did for Flashblock.

Chrome on PC, IE on PC when I have to; Safari on mobile

Safari on Apple stuff, Dolphin on the android stuff, Firefox on the work PC. LoL

I use Firefox on Windows machines, except for the autocross timing setup which prefers Chrome. On Apple machines I use Safari and Firefox interchangeably - mostly Safari until I find a site that doesn't play nicely with it.

IceWeasel because it came with the Debian distro.

Usually have both Chrome and Firefox open. Hate IE & Edge, never could grab onto liking Opera either.

Yeah I usually also have a Chromium window open alongside Firefox for any odd troublesome pages that give trouble with my heavily modified Firefox install.

I love Firefox, but since I "upgraded" to Win10, it's a fail. Every time I bring the computer from sleep, FF is half running, and I have to close it in Task Manager, because I can't use it even enough to close it in the normal way.

It must just be me, because if it was a common failure, FF would have fixed it already, I would think.

I am digging UC give it a shot

I've used Firefox exclusively pretty much since they rolled it out.

I don't like Firefox due to the crashing. I just seem to have really bad luck with it, except on Linux. I use Chrome on both my PC and my Android tablet. You just boot it up, and it works.

Maybe I should have mentioned that I only run Firefox on Linux, since I've also used Linux exclusively since 2009. I would suspect that the crashing is more due to Windows than Firefox.

Firefox just seems to be behind Chrome

Mostly Chrome, but also Firefox and recently Pale Moon. Pale Moon is a stripped down firefox. I used to like Opera, but its nearly the same as Chrome now.

IE and Safari are useful for downloading anything else.

Chrome on everything. PC, chromebook, iPhone, and android tablet. It just works.

Chrome unless I'm troubleshooting a problem, then Firefox. The last update of Chrome (v45) made it less of a memory hog and actually quite a bit more usable now.

Really I have no loyalty. When one starts giving me a problem I just move to the other one.

Firefox ever since Mozilla and Netscape 2.0 Gold, back in the day...

Firefox, Chrome, Safari. It's surprising how different some web pages display in different browsers.

Nope it's about the same to me, if anything it's probably more stable on Windows. For a while I was suffering with Firefox segfaulting pretty reliably whenever it loaded the HTML5 Youtube player on my laptop.

Chrome on everything I control. IE at work due to company policy. So basically 1 in 10 websites don't work.

All of them, but Safari tends to be my go-to.

Internet Explorer at work, Firefox at home

Chrome on everything, because everything syncs and it's awesome.

Firefox for me. It ain't what it used to be, but pretty stable (I can't think that it has crashed a single time), relatively quick, and common enough now that site builders write for it. Its rare that I get a poorly formatted page on it anymore.

I really don't like Chrome. It is like a beige Tercel. Calling it a browser is like calling a Tercel a luxury car. Or calling a hooker "wife material." Just like a hooker, it gives you the bare minimum while still doing its job. Yawn.

Never gave much use of Safari, but it has a distinct Mac feeling to it so it isn't intuitive for a PC guy like me. Ate memory like me at a buffet.
