What's your browser of choice?

[Ron Obvious]

I've been a Firefox man from the beginning but I can't deny that it's become a bit of a memory pig lately. The extensions, I'm running 12 of them, share in the blame I have no doubt. I also don't like their changes and attitude to complains about those changes.

I just recently bought a new laptop and experimented a bit. I thought Chrome was a bit too minimalist for my liking (hey, I like having a refresh button!), but I utterly resent having it install bundled with other packages without my consent (flash, avast, I'm looking at you!), and it's too closely tied to a company that makes money spying on me (google).

Opera is my new browser of choice. I'm running it with just two extensions, Adblock Plus and Ghostery, and it's been a dream. Fast, responsive and it works everywhere. I'm sticking with it.

7. I used to use

Delphi. I remember it taking me over an hour to download my first ever image, the Rolling Stones Tongue, then figuring out that I needed to download a whole other program to view my new image. That took me another hour at least.

I have it set up just the way I want and I guess I'm just too lazy to try anything else.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Here

[LumosMaxima]

13. Firefox

I've never liked how slowly it starts up, but it's better than IE. I haven't even tried to use IE in years, so maybe it's improved, but I rather doubt it.

[geardaddy]
