    Default Browser choice

    So I just downloaded the latest Firefox beta (7) and I've gotta say it's pretty slick.

    Which browser are you using?

    I am weird, but I prefer chrome on my laptop and firefox on my desktop.

    seems chrome runs better on windows 7 and the hardware I have on my lappy.

    Internet Explorer. The only other browsering I would be willing to use is Firefox, otherwise IE is the only way for me

    I stick with IE mainly because it's already there and like it or not, it just works. Add to that the fact that the majority of websites are designed FOR IE and then tested with other browsers and yeah, IE for me (unless I'm testing a website I just built lol then I use Chrome, FF, Opera and Safari - for about 30 seconds each before reloading IE)

    The only real differences I see is that FF and Chrome run quicker varying person to person. For me it's Chrome. But that's not why I use it. I like that each tab runs as a separate process and I like how they've saved space by putting things up into the title bar? Whatever thats called.

    I'm all firefox, but I have it tweaked so it acts like an older version. It lends itself to the way I browse a little better.

    Does IE still have that ridiculous install process that then asks you to reboot your PC afterwards? I tried upgrading IE back about a year or so ago and I went through that. Irritated me enough that I just decided to use FF to spite them. It was seriously almost as bad as Apple with iTunes. Just install the dang thing quickly and minimally, yeesh.
