Which one do you use?
Firefox is being a royal pain, every few seconds I get a 'not responding' message.
I've run various malware and virus scans, all clear apparently so I've gone back to I.E. for the time being.

Firefo works like a dream for me. Does have a paddy now again with some scripts, but not enough of an issue to make me worry.

Chrome. Firefox feels outdated and IE is just a mess.

spartan, chrome, opera.

have to use IE9 at work. Think that's our IT departments chosen method to keep people off the internet.

Mostly Safari on Mac and PC, plus Chrome and Firefox if I'm doing stuff that needs different accounts on the same website (like gmail), and Opera on my work laptop for any personal stuff so I can make sure I wipe it regularly!

Don't touch IE with a barge pole except in extreme emergencies i.e. if there are no other browsers in existence. And occasionally to test websites in, but these days there are far fewer issues. IE didn't even load on my last work laptop, it's still full of glitches.

Firefox when i want clean and it refuses to run on Chrome.

Chrome for everything else but with the following apps

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-for-youtube/cmedhionkhpnakcndndgjdbohmhepckk?hl=en

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=en

Always do a periodic scan with malwarebytes to keep things tidy.

Firefox since it works on all platforms. Tried Chrome, just don't particularly like it for some reason. IE only seems to be available for one legacy O/S.

Chrome is about as secure as leaving your house for open with the lights on and a sign inviting people to come in take your stuff and look through you private property and make copies of ask your back details

Unfortunately our website portal for HR and payroll at work we use is IE only, and doesn't work with Firefox or Chrome.

It's also the same for our stock system, and our web based email system.

Will see if our virtual machines will allow us to install extensions, if so I never have to use IE again!

Hi

Firefox on the mac at home. Opera at work, with Firefox 2nd. But Opera these days is just another Chrome / Chromium thing, and fairly crap compared to how it used to be.

All the best

Yeah, I just just got hacked off with Firefox, although it seems to be a lot smoother today with no interruptions.

I dunno. Must have been a script thing that's sorted itself out.
