Poll: Poll: What Internet Browser do you use and Why?

I was merely attempting to pose my opinions in a somewhat jovial manner (its just how I talk). I apologise if my razor sharp wit cut him.

That wasn't wit, it was an insult.

I love my Firefox. In particular, I love the bookmarks toolbar and the add-on for it that only shows the name of the site it leads to when I mouse over a favicon - leaves tons of room for the sites I usually go to.

I hate IE.

 

[Lavi]

IE, cause I don't give a shit.

Opera, and if that doesn't work, Chrome. Now if Chrome doesn't work, I use IE. And when all else fails, I'll consider Firefox, but no.
Been using Opera since IE7 came out, and I love it. It has everything you need built in, be it email or mouse gestures.
Plus Opera is engineered just a few hundred meters from where I live.

Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.

Why? Because my Web Design class requires you to check your web pages in multiple browsers.

I don't really use one more than the others.

Write to standard. http://validator.w3.org/

OT: I use Chrome now. Wanted to try something new after years of Firefox/Opera.

Way to not understand web design.

Just because it is up to standard dosen't mean it looks the same in different browsers. It might not be broken but it could still look "off"

Not following though with your web pages is a sign of poor web design.

Actually, I understand web design a great deal. Not all web browsers are made to standard, the biggest culprit being IE. I've seen webpages developed for use on IE that literally explode if you try and load them with something else. If web developers all wrote to standard, browsers would be forced to be written to standard, and the internet would be a happy place filled with cupcakes and rainbows.

Yes, I realize my argument will go no where in swaying you or those who think like you, and are taught to design webpages like you have been. I can still dream of my happy internet, and my original point still stands. Write to standard.

Side note: Webpages written to standard will function correctly most of the time on Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari. These browsers have really been brought up to snuff in recent years.

I should have clarified. My teacher has taught us to verify all web pages using W3C and won't grade them unless they are verified. However not every web page loads the same way. Our web pages have to be both up to standard and look good in every browser, including IE.

So your point may stand, but so does mine. Standard is only half the battle.

I actually have these pages bookmarked
