Browser of choice

kwikbreaks

A while back I asked if others had been seeing "Aw Snap something went wrong" from chrome. Well I continued seeing it together with some other annoyances and tried IE. That wasn't good for me either and I'm currently using Opera which so far seems to be working well for me.

So what is your browser of choice?

===

This is the browser list in order of use from one of my websites....

Google Chrome
Firefox
MS Internet Explorer
Safari
Unknown ?
Mozilla
Opera
Android browser (PDA/Phone browser)
Netscape
IPhone (PDA/Phone browser)
Others

Whilst I normally use Chrome, there are one or two things I don't like, such as the tiles appearing on the Google Home Page.

And why doesn't Sky Go work with Chrome? I have to revert to old fashioned Internet Explorer to watch!

For the same reason BT Sports player doesn't work with Chrome anymore.

Comodo Dragon. It's the same as Chrome but without Google harvesting your personal information every click.

Safari for me nowadays, but in the good old days I always preferred Netscape Navigator.

I've used SeaMonkey for years now and very happy with it. The interface is a bit old-school with menus and a toolbar, which some may not like, but I find many of the other browsers' interfaces too spartan.

It's actively developed and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

That's what the Mozilla browser turned into, isn't it? It reminds me of Netscape Navigator.

Apparently it uses the same rendering-engine as Firefox (which is the browser I typically use).

Never had any problem with Internet Explorer and IE11 on my Win 7 machines works brilliantly.

The poll would be better if it allowed one to select browsers in descending order of choice/use. I primarily use IE but sometimes use Firefox for a particular photography/Photoshop web site.

I generally use Chrome, but use FF or IE if I need to watch the BT Sport* player on my PC.

I don't think the forum offers the type of poll you're suggesting.

* Just found out there should be a W10 app for BT Sport ... might give that a go.

You'll need to complain to MSE about that one. There is the option for multiple choice but no way to weight them.

I have found the odd page that won't work in whatever my current browser choice may be and then try another in the hope it will work. I don't recall which page but not so long back the only way I could get one to work with the browsers available to me at the time was to use Edge which is pretty incredible.
