Opera's my favorite but its creaking slowness has me switching to Palemoon every week or so. And after a few days Palemoon's barrenness sends me back again.
I use Google Chrome for everything. I use Internet Explorer occasionally when websites don't work properly with Chrome though. But that's the only time i switch browsers, so i voted for only one.
Different systems, different setups = different results. Additionally compensating for its lack of built in security makes mine more sluggish than the default. I'd have pegged you as an IE man Welcome back.
IE is probably the best browser overall that fulfills all my browsing needs, but I'm currently giving priority to portable browsers. I prefer to have the same browsing experience when I can't use my own PCs. Firefox Portable was my browser of choice but changes in recent versions wasted my favorite extension - LiveClick. Firefox's native implementation of Live Bookmarks isn't as feature rich as IE' native implementation of the same feature. The Firefox's implementation lacks essential features in my opinion, such as bolding unread items and folders. So, Firefox really needs the help of LiveClick. But LiveClick's developer is apparently having a hard time to fix and stabilize the extension again (only beta versions of LiveClick are compatible with the latest versions of Firefox. But even the last beta version of LiveClick (more than a month old) has severe performance issues. So, I'm giving Opera (PortableApps.com edition) a try. I like it despite some minor issues. It will be hard to familiarize with the complete lack of support to Live Bookmarks (Opera's own support to RSS Feeds is good, but nothing can be as convenient as folders of Live Bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar IMO). But I think it will be good to use the same brand of browser on both my PCs and mobile phones.
I use Chrome, except when a page won't load correctly. It's not really the fault of Chrome, but rather the extensions and/or settings (like having third-party cookies disabled). I would rather just load it in IE than try to figure out what extension or setting is interfering. IE is pretty much unmodified (except for updates, of course), so it serves as a "vanilla" browser to try loading a page that wouldn't work in my Chrome setup. However, I voted for one browser only, because it is fairly rare that I have to use IE.
Was a FF fanboy, but using Chromium [for my usual surfing box - running Linux Mint-Isadora] more and more. Extensions AB+; Browser Quicklinks; Traffic Light; WOT; YouTube Downloader:MP3/HD Video downloader; Still use FF occasionally on Linux - especially if want to open a pdf in the browser. On Windows XP, use both - though lean a little, by habit, to FF. [v14.0.1 running fine on my boxes]. have a good day - feandur
Windows: IE10 Linux: Fx So yeah, more than one. Nonsense, Google is bringing them back to push Chrome.
And this makes sense: http://www.yourbrowsermatters.com/#/home Anyway, I'm busy reading something about The Lost Decade. Interesting nonsense.
Not supporting Opera's kinda understandable. It'll be dead in the next year or two and it's a closed source project. And I say it'll be dead because in the span of a week or so something like 6 major developers left and Firefox tends to have a policy of taking all the good Opera devs.
One website is designed to market a browser, the other is designed for blogging. I fail to see the correlation. Not really. It's not a matter of not supporting it, it's a matter of pushing Chrome. As has been said, Opera works fine with a spoofed useragent.
I think there's a difference between not supporting something and saying that it actually won't work.
That's besides the original point brought up by vasa1 about browser agnostic pages, as they SHOULD be.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765645 Just reminds me of that. Yeah, Mozilla could have continued to support that specific flag but they weren't going to anymore. In that case it's a bit different as they *said* they wouldn't and the guy is just whining because he messed up. My point is that if I write a browser and 30 people use it I'm not gonna complain when no one supports it.
It's not in Google's right to complain about what browser you use. This is the platform-agnostic web, not some software written for an OS. They should be writing the code, if it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't. Simple as that. They should not be isolating specific browsers and telling people not to use them. ESPECIALLY when the browser in question works perfectly fine.
How would you verify that a webpage is displaying properly? What you're asking for is either a way to tell that the browser displays properly on the system for every version of the browser and every version of the website. All for a browser that no one uses.
You do realize there is feature detection right? You're not supposed to browser sniff, it's considered bad practice.
