Max's interface is confusing, he can navigate the net with a flick of his mouse.

It's like something out of Iron Man.

Bullet Magnet · #33 12-09-2011, 09:50 AM

I'm using Chrome right now.

It is the worst computer program I've ever had the misfortune of using, and I've worked with Access.

*Shudder* Access...

Yeah, I have a query to submit. WHY, WHY?

I originally used IE, then I switched to Firefox after about a year. After which, it was still too slow for my liking so I switched to Chrome. It's not as advanced as Firefox because it's so simple and plastic-y. But hey, it gets the job done a hella of a lot faster.

Mac Sirloin · #37 12-09-2011, 02:15 PM

Chrome is clean, organized and seems quick enough. Getting mad about people using it is stupid.

I like the idea of Google sniffing through what I browse. It means they can recommend things to me when I never do online shopping.

I've used Chrome a few times and think it's a reasonably good browser. The main reason why I stick with Firefox is that it has all the plugins that I need. The secondary reason is that it has an incredibly detailed settings dialogue. If Chrome was as customisable as Firefox in these two ways, I would switch.

Mr. Bungle · #40 12-09-2011, 04:25 PM

Pretty much what Nate said. I've been using Firefox for years, so I'm just used to its customization. I used Chrome for a few months back when it was first released, though, and I thought it was great. Much better than IE or Safari.

Dixanadu · #41 12-09-2011, 06:24 PM

I'm about to paste the word 'Chrome' a billion times nao.

The only other browser on this shit is default; MIS*

It's a load of shite; images and videos load too slow, plus it has all these toolbars automatically installed that I don't even want, and they take up more than half of the monitor.

JennyGenesis · #42 12-10-2011, 03:03 AM

I used to use Firefox, but I prefer the simple layout of Safari and I like how it shows your frequently displayed sites when you open a new tab, it's like having bookmarks without actually adding them. Only problem with Safari is that I find it doesn't work well with Facebook.

I have to use that for my IT coursework... it's irritating as fuck.

I use Chrome for a browser. It's the fastest I've ever used, in comparison to Firefox and IE, which have always been sluggish for me. Chrome may be very basic, but it does what I want it to.

Manco · #44 12-10-2011, 03:47 AM

I stick with Firefox for the same reason Nate does. I kind of want to start using Opera because I feel Firefox has become a bit sluggish, at least for me. But at the end of the day, it gets the job done, is still reasonably fast, and has add-on support.

What version are you using? IE9 (assuming MIS* is IE) is actually decent.

moxco · #45 12-10-2011, 03:47 AM

Access? Learn to SQL people.

ITT we discuss Moxco's mediocre databasing skills.

STM · #46 12-10-2011, 04:43 AM

I don't really understand the problem, to me, it seems that the only bad browser is IE, all the other ones are okay in at least one perspective.

JennyGenesis · #47 12-10-2011, 05:24 AM

So whats good about IE, AOL and Shiiraa then?

(Or however you spell it)

Havoc · #48 12-10-2011, 05:28 AM

As I read on Twitter once. Internet Explorer is not a browser. It is, however, a tool to download one.

Manco · #49 12-10-2011, 06:36 AM

IE9 is far more standards-compliant than previous versions, has a prettier and more cut-down UI, supports HTML5, can be used to pin websites to the Win7 taskbar, and is pretty damn fast.

A lot of people have horror stories about IE6-8, which were terrible. IE9 is leaps and bounds better than those.

Scraby · #50 12-10-2011, 04:06 PM

idk when i used internet explorer i picked up sh*t tons of viruses,now when im using firefox i dont seem to get any intrusions.

hedjeroo · #51 12-10-2011, 04:32 PM

I use Firefox for regular browsing. I love its customisation options, especially FireGestures. Oh god I love FireGestures. The only way I can put up with using my PC that doesn't have it, is because the mouse has back and forward buttons on it.

I use Opera and Chrome for a couple other miscellaneous things, like browsing porno incognito

(isn't that what everybody uses Chrome and Firefox for?) and power tabbing.

STM · #52 12-10-2011, 04:35 PM

Why go incognito when you have your own laptop ^-^

hedjeroo · #53 12-10-2011, 04:50 PM

It's not to hide it from my boyfriend, it's to hide it from myself. ._.

1) What version of IE were you using.

2) What sites were you visiting/shit were you downloading.

Chrome has been like a roller coaster for me. Some days it's rocket speed and other days i could brew a pot of coffee, take a shit, do some laundry, take a shower, and it will still be trying to load up the web page.

Phylum · #60 12-10-2011, 06:52 PM

Oh, I get it now. I'm so glad you clarified that for me.
