• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Well, I just got Google Chrome and - HOLY GOD I CAN RESIZE THIS TEXT BOX *ehem*. Lean, fast, aesthetic, secure. Standards-compliant too. So, what's your favorite browser? If you want, post your favorite, along with your reasons.
This not just in: Google Chrome is out of beta, IE8 is out of beta, Windows 7 still in beta, and BW (Browser War) III is raging on.
 
well I use Firefox and Opera so I guess my favorite browsers are Firefox and Opera

if I had to pick one favorite I'd probably have to say Opera

btw on the topic of browser wars I am tired of seeing people/sites that seem to think IE and Firefox are the only two browsers out there... I was trying to get the folks at Bulbapedia to understand why it's a bad idea to use the non-standard APNG format for animated sprites (true, GIF sucks, but at least virtually all graphical browsers can display GIFs)
 
Firefox works for me, I don't really have any compelling reason to use something else. I'm a relative layman when it comes to these things.

Adblock Plus is great.
 
Well, I've only used IE, Netscape, and Firefox, but our computer got a virus through IE and Netscape stinks, so Firefox wins. I've heard Google Chrome is the best out there from the person who fixed our computer when it got the virus (which BTW disguises itself as Anti-Virus 1, so beware if you ever see that.)
 
Firefox is my favorite browser. However, I've been using IE8 since it came out (with Windows 7 build 7077). It has great OS integration, and it's quite fast.
 
I use Firefox.

I honestly haven't heard of a lot of those browsers that you have listed lower down.

Chrome, I've heard of, but find no reason to use. Google already controls too much of my internet experience to let it dictate the display of all webpages that I view.

Used IE a while ago. I've since come to despise it.

Used Netscape a very long time ago, back when it was good. It hasn't kept up with the times though, I fear.

Opera bores me.

Safari doesn't get along with me.
 
I use either Firefox or IE, depending where I am.
I use IE at home, Firefox at school (because some computer nerd in my class convinced me that Safari isn't good XD) and at my grandparents because they think that IE is too slow.
 
Firefox, Opera as a backup.

Also, what exactly is wrong with an "Other" option on polls?
 
I use Windows Internet Explorer the most but my favourite is probably safari.
 
I use Opera. I used to use Firefox, but when I got Firefox 3 it was really slow and made my computer freeze and me being lazy I didn't go find out what was actually wrong, I just got Opera. XD

I actually like Opera better than Firefox. Mainly for random totally un-technical stuff like the scrolling looks nicer and the layout is prettier. Although I DO miss this one gorgeous theme on Firefox 2...
 
Firefox. The only other ones I've used are Internet Explorer (which, meh, for my purposes it works fine, but it's not as nice looking) and Google Chrome (which I haven't used much but personally it doesn't appeal that much to me), so I'm going with Firefox.
 
Firefox. Never really bothered trying any others apart from IE, and pretty much the only other ones I've heard of are Chrome, Opera and Safari. =)
 
Most of the others are just one of the engines with a different shell slapped over it, really.
