What Web Browser Do You Use?

[Lithp]

I was inspired to do this after a recent thread. "The idea is to see what browser(s) people use," said Captain Obvious. If I've set this up right, multiple votes can be done. If you have more than one, it doesn't matter which one you predominately use, though you can specify those sorts of things in the post. So, a year or so ago, I would have voted for IE & Firefox, but now it'd just be IE.

I use Firefox, as the last time I tried Opera and Chrome they lacked features I regularly use; namely the ability to block ads and select which scripts I want running or not, but also Stop Autoplay which makes Youtube and other Flash stuff not load (or play/run) until I tell it to, an app to grab media from sites I'm on, and a plugin I just recently got that allows me to take a "screencap" of the entire web-page I'm on. I might have to check them out again to see if they've improved, though.

Netscape Navigator is the best, fuck every other browser out there.

...that still exists? Holy shit.

I use Firefox for my regular browsing, and Seamonkey for my adult. Keeping it segregated that way allows me to keep embarrassing results off my regular browser without having to delete my history.

I use Firefox, as it has the best add-on and plug-in support.

Firefox is essentially a direct spiritual successor to Navigator, anyway.

In March 1998, Netscape released most of the code base for Netscape Communicator under an open source license. The product, Netscape 5, used open-source community contributions, and was known as Mozilla, Netscape Navigator's original code name. Netscape programmers gave Mozilla a different GUI, releasing it as Netscape 6 and Netscape 7. After a long public beta test, Mozilla 1.0 was released on 5 June 2002. The same code-base, notably the Gecko layout engine, became the basis of independent applications, including Firefox and Thunderbird.

I will use IE until the day I die. Or when they stop making it.  One of the two.

I mostly use Internet Explorer, but sometimes I use Firefox.

[Cataclysm]

I used to use internet explorer until stupid Youtube made it impossible to watch videos on it. I use Chrome, Firefox, and Opera because Google doesn't allow you to have different Youtube and Google accounts.

This is relevant.

I mostly use Firefox, and sometimes Chrome, but if I'm feeling like a hipster I'll fire up Lynx for some old-fashioned text-only fun.

[Sleepy]

I know a guy who's got a pretty good job as an engineer, and the only thing they can use at work is Netscape Navigator.

OPERA!

The creator does realise that the Firefox add ons are purely optional, right?

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Firefox. 90% of the add-ons are crap, ala Sturgeon's Law, but the good ones are useful enough to outweigh that. The "Read Page Later" add-on, for example, has been a godsend. You just have to resist the urge to download all of the pointless novelty stuff.

Fiyahfox.

Got some helpful add-ons with it and a pretty neat theme. Even if it is a bit of a resource hog.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Firefox definitely has its issues. The aforementioned hoarding of RAM, the updates, various aspects of the session-restore process, plus a number of annoying bugs ("Firefox is already running. Please end your current session before starting a new one") and idiosyncrasies.
