insane_alien Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I'm ambi-browserous, I use chrome and firefox at home and i use chrome and IE7 at work. at work i need IE7 to access some of the applications on the intranet(they work with chrome but not so well as some numpty seen fit to code them with IE7 specific HTML. they don't even work right with IE8. still better than the one legacy telnet application that gets used once in a blue moon when we need to export something from the ancient system that got forgotten about some time in the early 90's
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 You should point out to your IT guys that IE8 has an IE7 compatibility mode; a website can put one extra line of code in to trip it, and IE8 will display it like IE7 would. Lets you upgrade without breaking your old app.
insane_alien Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 yeah, they know about it. it doesn't work. also, the global standard is IE7 getting that changed would be like 2 years of justification, testing and modifying for them. the virus protection and firewalls are actually pretty damn good so there isn't realy much reason to move away from it. It's only when you go to access the general web that you get any issues and thats what chrome's good for.
alfaman Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Google Chrome... it's simple, faster, more intuitive than others.
rktpro Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I use Firefox 4 beta. It starts a little bit slowly as compared to chrome but has the add on feature which makes it the best. Foxfilter, is my favourite, cause it keeps bad content blocked and prevents me from anything embarrassing while I surf sitting with my dad. The ad blocker is also a nice one!
Ankles Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I just this morning installed Firefox 4.0 (I've been using FF since the beginning, basically). So far I'm not feeling the love. It's...it's...almost like it's trying to be Chrome, and I really don't care for Chrome. But it sure beats IE (just my opinion. I know lots who love it).
ghijk Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Chrome is the one that I use - and I have no objections.

IE9 is trying to be like Chrome as well...Google's doing something right: speed and minimisation of screen estate taken up by the browser which is two things that IE9 and FF4 is emulating.
imatfaal Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Latest Chrome iteration is very annoying - Flash plugin just seems to die. Using Chrome Canary Build as I type this - works nicely and Flash implementation is good.
ghijk Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I have IE8 and Chrome installed and Chrome is much better for me. Edited March 28, 2011 by ghijk
