What Browser Do You Use?

SGT Ben Keen — Fri, 02 May 2014 15:47:17 -0400

So as some of you that have been on this site for awhile know, I'm very much into Technology. Heck been doing it now since I joined the Army in 1999. You probably also now that I work as a Veterans' Advocate here in the Pittsburgh/Western PA area.

Right now as part of that advocacy work, I'm doing some work on some websites and the discuss came up about what browser is used the most. I figured since you are using a browser to view this site I would post a survey and see which one you are using. The results should be interesting.

Internet Explorer on my laptop, safari on my iPhone. I've tried Mozilla and hated it

I didn't vote because if I check in from work it is IE (which I hate) but at home I use FireFox.

I'm not using Google Chrome, then I switch to Mozilla Firefox. I don't trust Internet Explorer.

I am currently using FireFox. It is a very good browser. And it seems that the company behind it, is always making sure that it is up to date in a very good way. Since I use Apple, and I like Apple computers better than Microcrap, Safari is my backup if there is one of those sites that are not Firefox friendly.

IMO Chrome is the top of the group listed here. Major problems with IE have just been uncovered with all of their versions. Firefox tends to be a bit dated and well I just dislike Apple.

And as a developer Chrome tends to embrace the newest tech when it comes to the latest versions of HTML and CSS.

I find Chrome runs the fastest and smoothest, but sometimes you just have to revert back to good ol' IE.

Google Chrome. Works faster, and has patched all the chinks in the armor that IE has

I like the Safari browser but it does not work with my college website, so I usually use the Opera browser and occasionally Chrome.

Firefox is my primary and Chrome my backup. I never use IE if I can avoid it. When using my mom's Mac, I also avoid Safari like the plague... I haven't upgraded to Win 10 yet, so I can't comment on the IE replacement...
