What browser do you use?

[sithlord48]

I've been using firefox here since v8.04. I've found it to be pretty bug free and stable. (Both on Windoze and kubuntu ....the only issues it has are when you try to browse a non-W3C standard server [did anyone guess IIS? ]) I have recently loaded chromium on 14.04 for testing and have browsed with it a bit. However I still prefer firefox for day to day browsing.

cheers,
bill

Google Chrome here. Rock solid even with hardware acceleration forced on

Adblock Plus is one problem it seems. Its butchering a lot of pages since the move to 14.10. Could some of you guys using Firefox with Adblock go to www.bbc.com to see if its displayed correctly?

Displays fine. Firefox current (Blue Shell) on 13.10.

With my curiosity peaked by Oshunluvur I downloaded and installed SR Iron. It is now my new favorite browser. ALL the goodness of Chromium without the constant parental hand saying "no no".

EDIT: After using SR Iron for a day I discovered that it couldn't load extensions unless I downloaded them and then dragged and dropped them onto the extension page. Then they loaded .... but wouldn't work. Then I found that SR Iron wouldn't load Google Maps 3D. So, sadly, I uninstalled SR Iron and returned to FireFox.

Funk I use Chromium, I don't care much for the Fox. I also use Ghostry and Adblock but I also have Animated PNG, Awesome New Tab Page, and Stylish. Most of my issues were unsupported Flash related until I got pepper flash installed. I tried to stick it out with Konqueror but it just didn't fit well with me.

All of them, at one point or another. Mostly Chrome, but firefox, and Rekonq actually for some things. I always thought of myself as browser-agnostic, but FF at one point became to pokey, and Chromium locked up too often.

What about in the mobile space?
I seem to use a few different ones, including FF, Dolphin, and whatever the stock browser my phone uses. I haven't selected a default so I get the choice menu often.

Oddly with chrome I don't sync bookmarks etc between mobile and desktop.

I go with Dolphin on mobile, with the stock browser and Chrome as back ups. Although Dolphin is a little slow, it has the best options for me.

Will have to give this one a try, although for real world use I use both Chromium and Firefox. IF the issues with Firefox could ever be worked out to be able to use dark themes and still have the text be anywhere near readable by default I would use it full time. What I would really love is the Mozilla engine (and all add-ons, etc.) to be wrapped around a Qt GUI. Mozilla always shoots itself in the foot by using an ancient GTK+2 GUI. Such a shame.

The only thing of note with Iron is it's not in a PPA so you have to update manually. Not a big deal, just download and install.

Mostly Firefox, occasionally Chrome, sometimes Konqueror. I like the Swiss army knife ability of Konqueror. Split view with website on one side and file manager on the other side or FTP. Drag and drop works good that way. Never did warm up to Rekonq.

I have a few friends who use the SR Iron on Windows XP. We got to talking about browsers and this "really old guy" in the room, from the 70s I think. He cough up some spider webs and then in a creepy mummified voice said, "Back in my day we used Lynx with Gopher search engine." There was a silence while he stroked his gray neck beard. We just glared at him until he sank back into his coffin.

Back before 2003, or so, Lynx was my preferred browser. The last time I used it, about 6 or 7 years ago, it was VERY VERY FAST. Still is, I imagine. Especially if you are on a dialup, which I was back then, or on a BBS system, which was what I used before the Internet arrived.
