My choice is Sleipnir, as it is the only web browser which does everything I need as standard - no addons are required. It uses WebKit (Chrome) and Trident (IE) to display web pages. But the engines used are not at all important to me - the only thing that really matters to me is that it does everything I want it to, and no other browser does. It does all of the following: All address entered in the address bar open in a new tab. Interface uses only tabs - not like IE which uses tabs as well as separate windows. All tabs open in the background. You can create your own search shortcuts, e.g. entering t plus a search term in the address bar will do a YouTube search, and you add your own shortcuts. Every new tab opens as a new process which gets closed when you close the tab. At the moment it slightly buggy - e.g. occasionally when I enter an address, it open it the current tab rather than a new one. I was using mostly Orca before switching to Sleipnir, but it had memory issues - after having opened a very large number of tabs it would often crash. no such problems for Sleipnir as every tab opens a separate process which gets closed as soon as you close the tab - so the memory used gets returned to the system. There are two things which I do miss however: In Orca/Avant and Maxthon your configuration gets saved online, which means you can install the browser on another computer and if you sign into your account your configuration gets download - so you configure the browser to work how you want it on one computer, and then any other computer you run the browser on can use the exact same configuration. I also miss being able to hide the browser window by pressing Ctrl + `
IE 10, fast - stable, and good overall security, and the new enhanced Protected Mode, have definitely given IE a boost in the right direction.
I'm feeling disillusioned with most of the browsers at the moment but the two I use are Firefox and Dragon.
Firefox - just runs better than any other browser on XP, with my setup anyway. And via extensions & about:config I can really lock it down & customize it just how I like it. Chrome has much more value on OS's since XP though, due to the handy sandboxing (even individual tabs). And if it could develop a NoScript equivalent I don't think there'd even be much debate for post XP OS's who the top dog was.
I want it clean when I do it for other people. The point of writing how much keys and things they use is to say that they may be made better. Iron browser can be portable version and doesn't fill in the registry with junk but still works and provides 100% the same functionality as the Chrome variant, but Chrome has tons of registry keys/entries.
Using Chrome as default for now. I'm waiting for Waterfox V18 and FF upgrade to see if they are more stable for me.
While I tend to agree, that has been a much debated subject over the years. Insofar as the subject of favorite 2013 browser, I'm about to upgrade IE9 to IE10, so I'll hold off my vote until then. TS
I try or switch browsers from time to time, but I always seem to go back to Firefox. So, for me...I voted Firefox
I think I read (somewhere) that MS had stated that a 'final' IE10 is not going to be made available for Win7 (but most who have used the 'preview' say it's mostly bug-free). TS
I'd like to find that information. That would just be spitting in the faces of millions of Win 7 users and shooting their self in the foot. Edit: A slightly critical article, but a tiny bit of information resides at the bottom: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Your...-on-Windows-7-Is-a-Waste-of-Time-311799.shtml "According to sources familiar with the matter, Microsoft plans to release the final build of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 in a couple of months, but some other people are pointing out that such an app could arrive even before year-end."
Google Chrome for it's security, stability, speed, and functionality. I've converted from a less stable Firefox, and don't miss any add-ons at all (plenty of alternatives and cross-platform).
Use Firefox as my default - my other browsers are Mozilla\clones, Palemoon, Icedragon - so all browsers (5) standardised with Adblock Plus and Noscript. Cheers!
Question: If anyone has used the New Maxthon Cloud and Sleipnir, do these browsers support hardware acceleration at all?
