Yes. I alternate between Chrome and Firefox (or Palemoon/Cyberfox) from time to time. Chrome used for casual browsing and watching online videos that require Flash. I usually don't bother with Javascript white-listing on Chrome so it's also the browser for my family use. Firefox used for when I need more control and when I'm going to open lots of tabs (such as when I'm researching something of interest). I depend a lot on Tree Style Tab to be able to see my Tabs on the side and need to see the relations between the Tabs. It makes browsing much more comfortable and organized. Of course, there's NoScript and other usual suspects. IE used as as a quick go-to browser when I have problems with the other browsers. It's also used for those rare instances when I need to access a ".gov" website.
- IE9 just for my company's intranet and some applications which don't work with other browsers - Chrome as default browser for everything - Firefox on the netbook, but also on the main PC to keep it synced with all bookmarks, etc.
i use linux i use one browser for general surfing (google chrome) where second for logging to facebook email....etc (firefox) so i dont need to remove cookies every time just once in day or after i use facebook and 3rd for banking only (opera) because it got good fishing rate
I use 7 browsers: default browser and mail, SeaMonkey, Comodo Dragon, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, K-Meleon, Mozilla Firefox, and Pale Moon. I use each one for an area of interest, one for art and music as home pages, K-Meleon (beta) one home page American Heritage Dictionary at Yahoo, and so on, except Google Chrome multiple homepages of Privatelee, Ixquick, WOT search, and encrypted Google Search. I dont crowd my hard drive with stuff on that's on the 'net for free. I dont block all the ads on my homepages. I have WordWeb on my desktop and AHD home of K-Meleon
I use Firefox, Chrome and Palemoon and I have them set up for three different purposes. If I felt sure that having multiple profiles of the same browser was safe and could get them to run seperately in SBIE I'd consider just using the one browser. Saying that I do find at times certain things work better in Firefox than they do in Chrome and vice versa so I'd always have both.
I think if something like FireChrome or ChromeFox came into existance most people would regard it as an abomination of their favourite browser.
Chrome uses Blink now, and anything that only uses the Webkit engine can only claim to be Safari to an extent.
yeah, i hate this but the regular Windows Update lets me wait forever after i restore an image that doesn't have all the latest updates so i go to the website. wish i knew how to just download the updates one time and save them to HDD and install them myself but who has time to learn all of these things? as for browsers i'm moving to portable only - currently i use Firefox mostly, but would like to get Opera 12.15 ready + setup as portable as it was my favorite browser as install version. takes time to figure out how to build a Userprefs config file just one time so that when they update to a new version i can just put the prefs file in the correct folder and be ready to go. also, would like to learn how to use Tor Browser Bundle and ADVOR eventually. and ideally there should be a portable browser with Java built in so that whenever you need to use Java for a site like chat etc you can just use that browser instead of installing Java on the system with its vulnerabilities. i guess PortableApps has this but i rather not use that platform yet if i dont have to.
Thanks for that but nope it doesn't. It's got nothing to do with the engine in my case. I'm fine with Webkit/Blink or Gecko. What I want/need is a browser which lets me have my Tree Style Tab/Vertical Tabs and NoScript with Chrome's sandbox and built-in Flash in 1 package. Pipe dream I know so I still have to compromise between Firefox and Chrome.
My browser lineup has changed. I dont like Firefox. I have the Geckos SeaMonkey, default, Pale Moon, K-Meleon, Comodo IceDragon and Google Chrome, I E.
FF as main browser and IE for updates. IE is integrated too much into windows for my liking. Both are sandboxed...of course.
I use Firefox most of the time as my default browser. Sometimes SeaMonkey. But usually just one browser at a time, no backup...
I use firefox 15 as my main browser because of all the convenient add-ons I've accumulated over the last few years. When something ain't working right, I'll fall back to internet explorer 8.
FF is my default browser, with Chrome as a backup, and IE because it's there. If I am trying to do something and things aren't working, I try the other browser. This way I know if the browser is screwing up or not.
Well, that was actually kind of entertaining. =V Anyway, to avoid future possible misunderstanding, let me clarify my following statement... I just want to minimize my attack surface. The less software installed in my system, the better. Since Chrome has fulfilled everything I need from a web browser, I don't see a point to install another one that I might never use and more likely will never get updated.
No. Chrome works with everything that i throw at it so theres no need to use 2 browsers HOWEVER i do have IE11 since it comes pre-installed.
