Which Internet Browser?

[Rindex]

I will answer with smilies. I use Opera. IE8 I include in extreme cases. It catches viruses well.

Opera -
IE8 -

And here that I think about the others:

Mozilla Firefox -
Google Chrome -
Safari -

I use Opera for everything. In a few rare cases where a site won't work with Opera then I'll use IE8 or Firefox.

when coding, I code everything using Opera, as it's the only browser (i think) that always strictly follows web standards. Then once it looks good in Opera, I check it in Firefox and IE, and introduce workarounds if they require them to look as I want it to.

Chrome is based on the Mozilla platform, so is similar to Firefox, and Safari, well, it's a bit similar to Firefox I think, but seriously, virtually no-one uses it on windows, and Mac users can't play the games anyway, so the site has no use to them.

Similarly. I use IE8 for example for start of program SopCast what to look football. Opera SopCast does not start.

not only that, but if a site doesn't work in Opera, then I'll curse them for bad site design, and think less of the company/person as a result.

I use Firefox most of the time, with the odd foray into Chrome.

As a web designer, though, I'm forced to spend time on every project trying to make it work on IE6/7, and sometimes also on IE8.

Sometimes I use css rounded boxes on Firefox, and then a graphical box on IE, which will clearly increase loading time on IE - but it makes them look the same, and also makes the time difference on FF/Chrome/Safari etc that much better than on IE.

well i'm a mac user and all my games were developed on a mac and i play all the dizzyage games on a mac, additionally all of the yolkfolk.com scripts were written and tested on a mac.

really? I thought DizzyAGE wasn't compatible with macs?

hmm I may have to download safari then, although I believe it's different on windows to how it is on macs.

[Peter]

dizzyage won't run on a mac natively but with a few other things running it will.

also safari renders the same on a mac as it is on windows and iOS devices.

Wish I could change my vote, but I can't lol

Anyway, the latest version of Firefox had been giving me problems recently, mostly with flash games going sluggish, so I stopped using it.

I found out a while ago that I somehow had Safari on my laptop, but after a couple of weeks I got rid of it, mainly because I wouldn't save any of my preferences/settings, and after updating to the latest version, many flash games wouldn't load properly, maybe to do with me being on Windows.

So I now have Google Chrome, and so far no complaints...yet.

And I still use IE9 sometimes, mostly for Hotmail.
