How many internet browsers do you have installed?

[acr1965]

How many internet browsers do you have installed on your main computer? Please post which one(s).

[the Tester]

Three.
Opera 10 Alpha, Firefox 3, and IE6 (which I rarely use).

[Joeythedude]

ff , ie , chrome & iron :)

[EASTER]

2

Opera & IE

The rest like K-Melon, Chrome, Iron, and Firefox 3.1 are all PORTABLES that i highly favor over installs.

[ThunderZ]

2. FF because I use it. IE6 because I can`t get rid of it.

[strangequark]

-{ Quote: "2. FF because I use it. IE6 because I can`t get rid of it." }-
ditto

[cortez]

I use mainly FireFox but must also have Internet Explorer in order to get on my medical/prescription site.

On some partitions I also have K-melon and Opera.

[acr1965]

I have FF, IE7, Chrome and Iron. One will be departing soon.

[Eice]

Ubuntu: Firefox (GNOME), Konqueror (KDE)
WinXP: Chrome (default), IE7
Vista: IE8 (default), Opera, Safari beta 4

[TOMxEU]

One only - IE8, but sometimes I have to download portable Firefox, because of problematic webpages.

Everyone, who does not use IE should have to instal latest version for security reasons.
Old IE's DLL and files can make 3rd party aplications vulnerable, even other browsers.

[19monty64]

4 browsers, in order of most often used...
1)FF3
2)Opera9 (...widgets & feeds)
3)GoogleChrome (...speed!)
4)IE8

:thumb:

No use for IE at all.

[twl845]

FF is my default browser, and IE7 exists for those moments when a page won't load on FF and I check it on IE to verify it's the page and not FF.

I question that statement but will not argue it. :)

[Bob D]

K-Meleon
IE6 (rare occassions required for a few sites)

I have IE6 installed and I haven't had a problem.
Upgrades/Updates are for programs that the user actually likes and uses.

Exactly .well said.
Firefox + Opera for all websites .Chrome is useful too.All of them are portable.Some crazy websites run only on ie , so cant really decide.

[Pedro]

Iceweasel, Epiphany, Opera and Dillo!
Iceweasel everyday, Epiphany when on battery etc. :)
Epiphany, while basic, has some surprising simple features. It works and it's fast.
And Opera always has a place on my computer.

[GrailVanGogh]

Total of 4 browsers.

Fx v3.6a1 pre - (theme upkeep only)

Fx v3.0.7 - (theme upkeep only)

Fx v3.5b4 pre - default/theme development

IE7 - installed but not used

[ASpace]

One - just Internet Explorer

[lodore]

Two
IE7 because Icannot uninstall it. i will update it to IE8 at some point due to security reasons. although rare some websites are still written for IE only... so sometimes it needs to be used.
my main browser is Opera.

btw anyone find it funny that microsoft sites have to be put in compatibility mode list for IE8?

[progress]

-{ Quote: "K-Meleon
IE6 (rare occassions required for a few sites)" }-

Is K-Meleon as fast updated as Firefox? Is there an "automatic update" function? :what:

[Mrkvonic]

Difficult to say. On Windows, usually 3, IE cause it's there, FF as primary, Opera as secondary, in some cases. On Linux, depending on distro, there can be one or five, but mostly 1-2. So the average is 2, but use just one 99.5543% of time.
Mrk

[zapjb]

Wow I'm surprised more folks don't have 3 or more browsers installed.

PCLOS - FF, Opera, Konq

Vista64 - Opera, FF, IE7 (32&64)

[noone_particular]

The comments next to the quantities don't fit reality. 2 is not "just in case" when one of the browsers is part of Windows and not normally removable. 3 is having an alternate browser as the default and testing another one, with Internet Explorer wasting space.

About half of my systems have 2 browsers. The rest have 3. All of them have SeaMonkey and K-Meleon. On a couple of them, Internet Explorer has been removed. The overall speed improvement on those systems is amazing.

[Osaban]

Chrome most of the time (I can't help it, I like the speed), Firefox when I want to be extra careful or using my credit card. I just can't see any point in having others (IE is part of Windows) installed if I don't use them.

[Cloudcroft]

Firefox, Opera, and IE7. Only really use FF.

[ASpace]

-{ Quote: "btw anyone find it funny that microsoft sites have to be put in compatibility mode list for IE8?" }-

No , because this is not the case (at least here)
See :
207350

It is the same with many other popular sites (e.g. Google's)

Is this option enabled on your computer/IE:

207351

[AKAJohnDoe]

I voted "1" because I installed Firefox and probably would not have IE installed t'were it not required.

[chrisretusn]

Just one baby. Firefox.

At least that is one I want installed and use. The rest are just there, OS depending.

Troubleshooting is a possibility, besides testing other browsers and so on.

[Firebytes]

Not counting IE which is tightly integrated with Windows (and which I use only for Windows Updates) I just have one browser, Firefox. I did have Opera for a long time as well but this poll actually made me decide to uninstall it. I rarely ever used it and decided it was just wasting space.

[Ed_H]

I have been using Firefox for years but I recently tried Chrome and the speed is winning me over. I am also playing with Opera but it is slower at times than FF. My thinking with Opera is that it may be the safest as it is probably has the fewest users.

[ThunderZ]

-{ Quote: "........My thinking with Opera is that it may be the safest as it is probably has the fewest users." }-

That, IMO, is the #1 reason a Browser is targeted. When your the biggest boy on the block, = IE, you have the biggest target on your back.

[Warlockz]

I have IE just for Manual Updates, and the BS only IE does due to restrictions Microsoft put on other browsers as their plot to get users to use their dumb browser!

99% of the time I use Firefox and Opera at the same time doing different tasks!

[demonon]

Let's count them all:
1)Firefox 3.07
2)Firefox 3.1 Beta 3
2)Opera 9.64
3)Opera 10 Alpha
4)K-Meleon
5)Internet Explorer 8
6)SRWare Iron
7)Safari 4 Beta

This all in Windows Vista.
My primary browser is Firefox 3.1. Most of them are for testing purpose.

In Ubuntu just Firefox and Opera.

[Arup]

Opera as main and IE8 as secondary in Windows, in Ubuntu it is Opera main and built in FF as secondary.

[raakii]

Most Universal browser is ---Internet Explorer,most of the sites operate well on this.(buggy and easy for malware attack)
Most features in a browser----- Firefox ,with its addons .(heavy and slowest)
Fastest ---chrome in my view.(No features)
Lightest--k meleon.(not famous and not unversal,no great addons)
--------------------------------------------------------
Opera---quite universal, inbuilt addons and plugins, fast too.
--------------------------
I use
65% browsing -- opera
30 % --firefox
5% each for chrome and IE.

************No browser installed***************

[bktII]

Linux w/KDE (openSUSE): Konqueror (default), Firefox (what I use 4 browsing)
Linux w/o KDE (Debian and Ubuntu): Iceweasel and Firefox (respectively)
Windows: IE6 or 7 (default, use for Windows updates), Firefox and/or Opera (what I use 4 browsing)
openSolaris: Firefox (default), Opera (what I use 4 browsing)

[TonyW]

I use Firefox, but IE is installed so that makes two on my system.

[ThunderZ]

Need to change my vote. Installed Chrome on my laptop to give it a spin. Tweaked the quicklaunch to point to automaticaly launch Incognito mode.

Will play with it a bit over time.

What the heck, it does`t eat anything just setting on my hard drive. :-X

[manOFpeace]

Just one baby! IE6, have IE7 and IE8 downloaded but don't know whether or not to install one. Waiting for a while to see how IE8 works out probably. ;)

Wow. ;D
You know, i click both mouse buttons and go back and forth in history?
I drag a word to a 'magically' appeared menu and choose Wikipedia to search?
I highlight a word, and an instant definition appears in front of my eyes, without leaving the webpage?
I click a button and download a video from Youtube?
:P

[SA Jack]

Primary is Firefox 3.0.8

Secondary IE 8.0

Reason: I need to access a number of work related sites that are designed around IE, so in order to access these sites in Firefox, I use the IE Tab extension which needs to access the rendering engine of IE. And all is well.

[Carver]

Opera my main browser firefox and IE7.

[waters]

Chrome,slow browsing with Sandboxie and Firefox so tried Chrome and automaticaly launch Incognito mode and Wow fast

[YeOldeStonecat]

2
The one that comes with Windows....Internet Exploader
And Firefox 2..the one I use 99% of the time.

[vijayind]

FF for most purposes, IE just incase of aspx crapware.

[^Ale]

Opera 9.64
IE8 only for windows updates

[blacknight]

Opera definitively ! :) . - IE ( >:( ) only if I do Windows update online and not, as often I do, offline. If Konqueror ran on Windows, I would use it also.

[siberianwolf]

the one and only ie.

[funkydude]

Chrome (main at the moment), firefox, opera, ie. Really can't decide.

[Cloud_Shadow]

I have,

Chrome(default browser), Firefox, Flock, Opera , IE8 and Safari 4 beta

[Gez]

I've been a user of Opera for as long as I can remember, right back to when it cost money to buy the full version! Absolutely love it. I use the Proxomitron local proxy for an extra layer of protection and for speed I turn off memory and disk caching.
I usually have K-meleon open on Windows as well, with no local proxy, mainly for websites that lose some functionality when using Opera through Proxomitron. Another excellent Windows browser.
On Debian/GNU Linux it's a mix of Opera, eLinks, and Iceweaver.
IE8 is a vast improvement on IE7 but I use it only in exceptional circumstances, when, for example, it is required. Thankfully this is less and less the case nowadays.
I've never liked Firefox on Windows. Slow and clumsy, and I've never liked the idea of having anybody and everybody able to contribute so many plugins to it.

[Cloudcroft]

-{ Quote: "2. FF because I use it. IE6 because I can`t get rid of it." }-
Same here.

[Alphalutra1]

Firefox, Opera, links

[quintile]

Opera most of all
FireFox
Konqueror
Iceweasel

still have to try K-Meleon

Never use IE, you used to need it at certain stubborn sites, not any more...Good!

Plus, I like downloading and installing. :D

[DarrenDavisLeeSome]

Just IE7.

I like it.

[RSpanky]

The one and only Firefox
Never use IE

[Toby75]

Just 1 - IE7 -- very fast on my vista laptop -- no problems.

On my other XP laptop I use Opera -- much faster than IE7.

Have you tried IE8? Try the x64 version if you are on x64 OS. Although not as slick as Opera, IE has come a long way.

[L815]

Opera 10 alpha & Firefox 3b1 here.

I tend to prefer opera, but can't ditch firefox :]

I also like kmeleon, if only they would keep up with the latest gecko engine.

[StormerR34]

Three
Firefox 3, Chrome (latest beta) and IE8

[spy_protector]

-{ Quote: "How many internet browsers do you have installed on your main computer? Please post which one(s)." }-

[Aaron Here]

Been using IE forever, but just installed Chrome-beta 2.0.177.1 and I'm sure liking its speed. Chrome takes some getting used-to, but for now it's my default. :doubt:

Spybot/SpywareBlaster user?

[Page42]

IE7 only. I used to use Netscape. Then I tried a couple others. IE works best for me. Soon I'll make the move to IE8... but I'll image the HD beforehand in case I want to switch back quick! ;)

[Toby75]

-{ Quote: "Spybot/SpywareBlaster user?" }-

Nope.

[jadinolf]

I have IE installed but SeaMonkey is my browser of choice.

[icr]

Only 2
Firefox most cases
and IE 8

[Creer]

Opera,
FF,
IE8.

[Gizzy]

I mostly use Opera

But I currently have installed
Opera
IE8
Firefox
Seamonkey
K-meleon

[c2d]

IE8,Opera and FF
I just don't like Chrome.Can't explain it.
Opera is my favourite browser

[Dch48]

Just one--IE8--- I see no reason to have anything else.

[prairie dog]

Firefox and IE8

[Saint Satin Stain]

I said four - IE 7 I don't count because only use it for a few Microsoft sites. My default internet app is SeaMonkey, and I have Firefox, KM Lite, and K-Meleon. Each has a purpose and corresponding home pages. They are part of my use of the internet as my hard drive, an extension of my office.

[cqpreson]

Only two.Opera and IE.

[twl845]

As of now, four. IE8, Opera, Firefox, and Chrome. FF has always been my favorite, but am running Chrome as my default so when I click a url in an e-mail I will get connected fast. I am waiting for FF and Opera to release their new versions, and after checking all three out over a long period of time, I'll uninstall one of the 3.

[RSpanky]

I have 2 - IE8 never use, Firefox is the Bomb :D

Update - I had to remove Chrome as my default browser because as the default, it caused my computer boot ups to stall for 60 seconds in limbo, right after the Desktop appeared with no Icons or Taskbar. After the 60 second stall, the Icons and Taskbar appeared. No help from Google Forum or here so I uninstalled Chrome. I uninstalled because the reason I wanted it as the default was because used with Sandboxie, it accessed SBie super fast. The other reason was because if I click a url in an e-mail the web page accessed really fast. That was all lost waiting for the 60 seconds every boot up. :'(

Chrome remains my default, but Im using more and more IE8 as it tries to detect malicious executables. I'm afraid I'm done with Firefox for the time being.

twl845, if you check my attachment, Google has two executables loading with my system at start up. I use jv16 PowerTools 2009 to disable those entries as they just use resources unnecessarily.

I don't know whether this could be the reason for your delays (60 seconds is very long). Also, if you have Google updater, I would uninstall it.

Osaban - Thanks for the tip. It seems reasonable that this could be the cause. If I disable those 2 updaters, does Chrome have a way to manually update?

I have manually updated Chrome since disabling those .exe. I think the reason Google has a lot running is because they want to be informed about anything that happens to their applications (some people believe to spy on you).

I'm not saying this is the solution to your problem, as I haven't experienced your boot up delay, but you can certainly try and see what happens.

Hi Osaban, I tried your suggestion but that wasn't it. An interesting observation. Looking at your attachment, I see the two files are located in C:\programs. I checked my entire Chrome installation and none of it is located in the programs folder. It is in C:\document and settings\my name\start menu\programs\google chrome. Notice where it says "start menu". That's the menu listing of Chrome. The only place I can find Chrome is in documents and settings. I did a search and the only items in Programs are the menu listing and the Desktop icon. I looked in Windows Explorer, and the only Google folder is for my Google Earth. I looked in that folder and Chrome isn't in there. I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed Chrome 3 times trying to fix the default problem, so re-installing it won't help. At the present time it's uninstalled. What do you think?

[the Tester]

I changed my browser set up recently.
Replaced FF with IE8.

[bigc73542]

I have had as many as five installed at one time,but at the present I just have Opera10 and Firefox 3.5

Edit>>I do have IE7 but never use it.

[mercurie]

4, Opera, FireFox, Safari, IE 7, Can't decide yea fits me pretty good;D

[Securon]

Good Afternoon! Main-Opera 10.0 #2 Firefox 3.5 #3 Safari 4.0 #4 IE 8. I use Opera & Firefox 80% of the time,and Safari 19% IE 8 1% and that,s a generous estimate. Sincerely...Securon

Hello there,

I don't know what to say, honestly other than running Vista 64 which has two types of Programs Files (native 64-bit, and x86) and the Google folder in there is related to Google Earth.
The Chrome folder is in the same location as yours: C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application.

If I remember correctly, you had some delays opening Firefox (with Sandboxie?), perhaps the problem is related to something else. I wish I could say something helpful, sometimes the solution might reveal itself by doing something apparently unrelated.

I think I may stumble on the answer at some point also. I uninstalled Chrome for the forseeable future when that day arrives. I think its gotta be a Chrome thing because FF, Opera and IE have all had their turn as default browser without a hitch. With respect to slow FF with Sandboxie, I have improved that a lot with a compatability fix from OnlineArmor. Thanks for the response. ;D

[Tarnak]

I use Opera 10 and as default, IE6 which is only used in emergency.

[1boss1]

5 installed, Opera is my favorite but i use Firefox mostly due to needing extensions such as Firebug, SEOQuake etc.

Chrome i dislike the most, it's not "installed" i have the portable because i don't particularly even want the thing on my system.

[Dude111]

I have IE6 (Which runs the OS) and MyIE2 (Which i almost always use)

[Wildest]

I voted for two, but not for the "just in case" purpose.
I use IE for online banking and anything else that I may have a privacy concern, and I use Firefox for all other "non-business" related activities.

(I also use OperaTor for sites that like to save my ip address. ;) ;D )

[catnotspam]

IE 8 and no other
p.s i do not like Safari OR GC

[Follower]

Mostly Firefox.
For some sites IE8.

[the Tester]

Back to three browsers again.
Opera 10 beta 2, FF 3.5.1, and IE6 which I seldom use.

[Atomas31]

Firefox and IE 8 and I also have Netscape wich I didn't use for ages...

[tom367]

3 for me--firefox, IE and avant. Still using Ie mainly as I am used to it and have plenty of freeware to protect me!

[acr1965]

I have IE8, Firefox and Google Chrome. Getting ready to add Opera soon to see if it's any more tolerable than before. It seems as soon as I get to like a browser I find a news article about new tracking ware or ad ware the browser has been in bed with the whole time. I guess it has more to do with the tracking cookies and stats these days. But I really don't think a person can get on the internet with any feeling of privacy anymore.

I'm not sure how many people purchase items on the internet or how much online ads play a part in offline advertising (yes that's possible). But I don't think it's played that big a roll for me. I would probably pay a decent annual subscription rate just to have the trackers leave me alone.

Just one Browser, and that is of course IE 8;)

[Daveski17]

Desktop: Chrome (default), Iron, Firefox, SeaMonkey, Safari, IE 8 (usually only used in 64 bit mode).

Laptop: Even more!

I like to have Chrome & Firefox on any computer. Iron & SeaMonkey are back-ups just in case & I like to use them for certain things. Safari has some features I like (reader). I've used Iron for a long time, well before I ever used Chrome. Unfortunately it is still not stable enough to be my default. This last version is one of the best they have done though.

Sometimes I just like variety. It's worth checking out other browsers & giving them a spin occasionally. Just to see. ;)

Lately only Chrome. I've just updated it to version 7: very fast indeed.

Firefox 3.6.11 - main browser
IE9 Beta - just for the heck of it ;D

[Sadeghi85]

Firefox 4.0 Beta 6

[Rampastein]

Firefox 3.6.11 with Adblock Plus and NoScript is my main browser, and IE is the second (used mostly only for downloading Windows updates manually).

[blacknight]

Opera. IE only for manual security updates. I would like if Konqueror worked in Win.

[SirPeterPan]

Default browser (for everything):
IE 9 latest beta build (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/products/ie-9/home)

Portable browsers (for testing only):
Chrome latest dev build (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable)
Firefox 4 latest beta build (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test)
Opera 11 latest alpha build (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/opera_portable)

I thought Konqueror could run on Windows, I was always thinking of trying it out one day.

It is developed by volunteers and can run on most Unix-like operating systems and on Windows systems, too. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konqueror)

IE only because it comes with Windows and Firefox which is what I use all the time.

[safeguy]

3 browsers that I usually have installed on my system:

IE8 since it comes with Windows. Hardly use it...not due to security concerns (I can harden it) but more of missing *features* that are important for me.
Firefox - default browser. Optimized and minimal add-ons. Currently on the V4 beta release and MineField.

Optional secondary browser - sometimes installed, sometimes portable version:
Google Chrome/Iron - using similar (fork) add-ons to those of Firefox.

I can't get myself to using Opera much yet no matter how many times I've attempted to. It's a very nice browser, filled with built-in features but it's missing certain touches that's fitted with my personal needs/wants. And it doesn't play nice with all sites...at least that's how it is for me. I'll have another go at it when V11 is released.

I used to toy around with other non-mainstream browsers frequently in the past but grew tired of the habit.

2 (IE & FF) :thumb:

[Cutting_Edgetech]

I have Opera, Firefox, and Chrome. I use Firefox most of the time.

[acr1965]

I suppose I should have worded the poll to include portable browsers normally used on a computer as well.

[Noob]

Changed to 2 now, used to have 3, but since my bro bought his own laptop i only have the default IE 8 (Updated to Beta 9) and Google Chrome 8.xx :thumb: :thumb:

[Kernelwars]

i have 3 lol;D ie, chrome, opera

[3GUSER]

Now I have 2 - IE (installed by itself) and Chrome.

For more than a week now I use Chrome - very light and speedy start-up , lightening flash loading of pages and even MS pages load faster and better with Chrome than IE. I have tried on some computers and with IE my windows live hotmail loads slower with IE than with Chrome.

So , no more hardcore MS fan - now changing to Chrome. :thumb:

Good Choice!! ;D :thumb:
Some say we are from the Dark Side :lurking:

[Fiat_Lux]

I think that the text that goes with this poll is wrong...
I got more browsers, but it is not because I can't decide but because I am that intelligent..... ;) ;D 8)

[ProTruckDriver]

Only one, Internet Explorer 8.

[superhacker]

Chrome beta 9 and opera 11 beta.

[J_L]

Now I have only 1.

[Rompin Raider]

I have 4 but primarily use: FF and Chrome...occasionally Opera. When IE9 comes out will give it a shot.

[mhf]

I have 2 - but I only use one : K-Meleon !!!
However I keep Opera in reserve.

[mrpink]

I have Chrome 8 installed and Opera 10.63 portable (and of course IE 8 disabled). None of them though, look as nice as Safari (not even close) but a portable version that i tried was too buggy to keep

[ExtremeGamerBR]

[xandros]

[Noob]

I got my bro hooked to Google Chrome Bwahahaha ;D
He have been an avid Firefox user since 2003~ and he was always liek Firefox is the best, but since he bought his NETBOOK Firefox was extremely sluggish (VERY VERY SLOW) on his PC, v3.6 was TOTAL CRAP (i'm talking seriously, he plays fifa manager on fb and it's unplayable). v4 was almost the same thing, slow startups, page rendering was slow, problems playing online games.

Then a few days back i was like come on give Chrome a try, and i installed V10 on his laptop, less than 10 minutes after, he installed Chrome Beta build ;D :thumb:
He was like OMGGG i feel i have a different pc now, it's so much damn faster ::)
