Browser Wars!!!
 

I know that there are already 2 threads dedicated to this, but they are old and feeble. So I now ask, which web browser do you prefer, and why?

[ EDIT: I tried to add a poll, but it timed out on me, so no dice. Come on mods! ]

My poll didn't post :( MODS, help a brother out?

Firefox and Chrome. IE is garbage and I did use Opera once a long time ago, but only to toy with it. Seemed fine, really.

I use Firefox 99.9% of the time at home. Chrome at work.

Got all my plugins and stuff in Firefox and I just like the menu layout and various shortcuts and functions, some of which Chrome lacks.

I use IE (IE6 to be exact) along with an IE add-on called MyIE2 (Best IE wrapper I have ever found)

I use Opera most of the time. I like the layout and the built-in VPN. I use FireFox for downloads though, because it seems to be the fastest on my PC. I use TOR [and its clone, RoTOR] to access the dark web.

Other than IE and Edge which are ancient and terrible, I find the difference to be usually negligible between the major browsers. I use Chrome out of habit/familiarity but I have no complaints using Firefox or Opera. Chrome also is mass installed on all devices at work so obviously I use it a lot there

Chrome is perhaps the easiest browser to get used to. I don't use any other browsers anymore. It's plain and simple. Nothing extra.

Started using Firefox back when it was cool and hip to not use IE, "'cause tabs, bro." Have been using it ever since. Each time they change their layout I don't like it, then I get used to it and it's like secondhand to me.

secondhand?

Natural. Like bein used to something to the point that you don't have to think about it. It's not the direct meaning but that's how he's using it.

Like secondhand nature.

Has anyone else actually tried out the obscure browsers to see if you might like them?

Also, the new Opera is way different than the old versions. Plus, the built-in VPN is the tits. Also, there is a way to use Chrome browser extensions on it.

I was pretty sure the expression was "like second nature". Second hand nature makes it sound like you found it in a dumpster.

You're right and they're stupid.

Maybe I did.

Pretty nouveau riche of you to be against dumpster diving.

I found my TV table on the street, actually.

Re-purposing things helps save the planet. We need to do more of it.

Like re-purposing me into a mod

Totally agree. That, and to try and limit how much tech one buys and throws out. I think I'm ok at it. I've only had 3 cell phones ever (my current one is so old school that it has a small screen and... buttons!)
Still just have my old, medium sized CRT television set.
I'm on my 5th computer, but I still have the previous 2 and use them occasionally. And most of my furniture and my refrigiator is from something like a Goodwill store.

Dude, I go shopping for pots and pans and the store wants like $60 each. I can go get used ones for a few dollars.

There's no real downside, since you can check the condition of an item on the spot.

Bring ya lube and ya daughter cause we goin' to the morgue tonight, boys!
