I have been using FireFox for years with very little problems.
I should also say I am a very big Google fan and love their products but!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used Google Chrome for a short time until customers told me they could not see images on my web site and after consulting with a few computer friends who develop web sites for a living and who also runs servers for over 5,000 web sites they said get rid of Google Chrome and that was the end of the problems.
The reason why Google Chrome screwed up is very complex and once I found out that Google has been trying for the past few years to correct the problem and not having much success I switched back to FireFox.
Just keep in mind that if you are having trouble viewing certain images on some web sites the problem is Google Chrome.

I do use all 3 browsers, but most times I prefer Firefox.

Also works when I need to post my email in certain places. It does it automatically after I type 1 or 2 charactors. But, I can't answer why as I don't know shit about it. Just it's better on a few levels

I switched a while back. Better than Explorer or Firefox. Both those would "stall" on me and I'd have to restart the 'puter.

My main issue wasn't so much the privacy, but the "under the covers" nature of so much of their stuff. I have one system that the myriad Google updaters will bring it to it's knees with no warning even after I specifically uninstalled and disabled/crippled everything I could find. No problems now.
The only annoying thing left is that some sites have specific requirements, and don't recognize Iron or Chromium as compatible. I use FF for those.

Privacy is over rated. It's not like I'm looking up bomb making or successful kidnappings or such. What do I honestly have to hide? Oh no, they found out I was looking for valve stem lengths for a '69 OHC Pontiac engine, better get marketing on that stat!
They've done some cool stuff with that marketing money, like free satellite images, etc. That stuff ain't cheap and it's freakin cool! (If you are not trying to hide a taliban training camp in your backyard)Last edited by TheSilverBuick; April 4, 2013, 07:19 AM.

I like the Bing commercials about being scroogled - it's true. I needed the phone number for FAST, not on the 1st page, 2nd page, or even 3rd page - those pages were all ads. On Bing, it was the second hit.
Other than that.... I like Google.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by Beagle View Postthe last time I tried them all at the same time, Firefox was marginally faster than either IE or Chrome. I put the ad blocker on Firefox but haven't checked this site to see if it works the way I expected it to. I won't use Chrome because I don't really trust Google, they'll sell anything and everything to anyone.
IE has been fine for me as long as there aren't any browswer helper objects (extra search and toolbars). The intrusive crap is very difficult to remove cleanly. I'm not fond of the filtering capabilities of any of them for potentially malwared pages. There are a couple of Chevy dedicated sites with malware that my a/v picked up after the fact. I'd like to see something more done about that.
