I used IE 5 years ago when I didn't really care about what browser I used. Then when Google Chrome just released and the ads were on the Google search engine page, I tried it out. It was amazing..it was fast, simple, clean and much better than IE. I was surprised it could run on my really slow laptop (I made it slow because i was an idiot).
A few years down the line when it's 2013 I was still using chrome..and recently (About a month or two ago) I started feeling bored, something was lacking with chrome. I don't know what but then i switched to Firefox and it's amazing, it's just like Chrome was back when I first installed it. I think I started feeling bored with Chrome because it was a bit too simple and dull for my likings. Hey, I might switch back to chrome soon and be amazed yet again like a few years ago. Haha!
Additional Questions: Did you ever switch and why?
Story of your our browser journey?
-
It takes forever for me to actually go through with changing my browser. I changed to Chrome from Firefox, hoping it would be better. So far, it isn't.
-
Chrome It's fast and has the least obstructive interface.
-
Mozilla its my default browser
-
Mozilla Firefox. I used to use Google Chrome, but when Coup went down I migrated here. Despite Coup's death, I haven't gone back to Chrome. The ads on Chrome got ridiculous as well, but that might not be a fault of the browser itself.
-
Firefox because I am a normal, sane human being ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
Vault-Tech. [spoiler]Seriously though, Firefox[/spoiler]
-
Internet Explorer is the best browser in my opinion. Firefox and Chrome are too slow and lack in customization.
-
Firefox It's just pretty cool, and I'm more used to it than Chrome
-
Firefox with the no script plug in is the fastest and most resource efficient. Having no ads is fantastic!
-
Chrome I used Firefox for a long time, but I got to like Chrome's minimal interface.
-
Firefox. It's not botnet like Chrome and runs better then IE.
-
These "and why" threads are really stupid and annoying.
-
Firefox on my desktop and dolphin on my phone.
-
Safari. I honestly don't spend much time. I post on b.net on mobile and really the only thing I do on my computer is play WoW
-
Crome because I like it
-
Chrome
-
I mainly use Safari because I'm always on my iPad, but for video download (I download music/tv episodes) I just use the Free Video browser.
-
Firefox Nightly, I like getting all the new features early on to test. Not sure if I like Australis still though, sucks that it broke my browser theme and css.
-
Chrome, but it's telling me I have some issue with BFLLR Dynamic Library. I don't know what that is, though.
-
Blackbird, the African American browser.
-
ITT filthy plebs who don't enjoy the glorious uber-browser known as Chromium.
-
I don't use plugins aside from Adblock and Avast's security plugins. Also, IE11's GPU acceleration is still ahead of everyone else's (see link). Chrome's is still iffy.
-
Safari, because the browser was designed to work, and integrate most efficiently with Apple's OS.
-
IE sorry, not sorry.
-
Chrome. My Firefox got too overloaded with doodads and customisations.
-
Firefox. Always, Firefox. A lot of people say Chrome is better, but I don't care. I've been using Firefox for 9 years and it has a special place in my heart.
