What's your browser?

[Beardo]

I switched to Chrome from Mozilla just right now. x)

[Al-Mufarridun]

Assalaamu Alaikum.

I use Mozilla.

[PouringRain]

I use Opera. I like Firefox, but have had too many problems with it in the past. I've never had any problems with Opera.

[Perseveranze]

Asalaamu Alaikum,

Firefox.

Sorry for anyone who uses IE.

I've switched from Safari to Firefox. Personally, I think it's a lot more reliable than Safari. I've tried downloading Chrome but apparently it's not compatible with my Mac.

[Woodrow]

I have tried every browser I have found as a free download. Always ended up coming back to firefox. I have found that if you download more than 4 or 5 Add-ons, it starts acting up. Stick to only the add-ons you really need and it is fantastic. One add-on I think everybody should have is "Lazarus" text recovery.

[Aprender]

I used Firefox most of the time but I switch to Chrome every now and then.

Every time I had problems with firefox I never had any add-ons.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

I used to use Firefox but now I am using Chromium/Google-Chrome. It is faster than Firefox, but I yesterday I tried Firefox 4 beta and it seems to be a bit faster and beautiful than it's predecessor, Firefox 3.6.

[Asiyah3]

Google Chrome. From my experience it's faster than Firefox.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Yes, it is but I believe many of our requests are redirected through Google's servers...

No chrome for macs? That is VERY interesting news to me. I guess another reason why NOT to buy a macbook.

I'm trying to convert from Firefoxism to Chrome-ism.

[Salahudeen]

firefox I.E slows my PC

[Rabi'ya]

:sl:

Usually I use Chrome.....but occasionally I have relapses and go back to Firefox

[BintAbee]

Too set in my ways, so I use IE :X

[Abdul-Raouf]

Four browsers are installed in my notebook, IE,Mozilla,Chrome and Opera.

Out of which i use Mozilla most of the time...then chrome...then Opera..and very rarely IE

[Tilmeez]

I have added a poll :p

Go for option number 7 if not sure.



PS: Be careful, Poll is public :X

[Woodrow]

My condolences are for those who use IE. May they one day at least try something else even if it is Lynx browser.

Lynx browser is a nice very simple browser that does nothing except connect you to the internet

You can read about it here: http://www.lynxbrowser.com/

Nobody has to use IE unless it is by choice.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Assalaamu `Alaaykum

i use IE and have had no problems with it or i probably dont notice any of the problems of using it, as many have mentioned in the past.

but im thinking the problem is the slowness of it and not being able to use features i think.

Khaair, so i use IE.

Peace

[arabic alphabet]

firefox have many good addons and that is good for webmasters

[Sawdah]

I have IE, Firefox and Chrome but I mostly use Firefox because it's the first browser I see on my desktop and it's pretty fast at loading the pages, alhamdulillah.

[Dagless]

Firefox, but Netscape Navigator 4.04 ftw imo.

[Alpha Dude]

I really don't see what the big deal is about Chrome. Seems quite cheap and tacky to me.

[PouringRain]

Since I am the only one with Opera, I feel the need to advertise and share this wonderful browser. :p

http://www.opera.com/






* Disclaimer: This is not a paid advertisement. :D

[GuestFellow]

I use Opera. I like Firefox, but have had too many problems with it in the past. I've never had any problems with Opera.

:sl:

I like Opera. Internet Explorer works fine for me, fast as opera. I used Firefox but it was too slow for me,

[Raaina]

I use Chrome, I find it faster then Firefox. But, somethings I can use in chrome, so have to relapse back to firefox.

Haven't used I.E for a long long time. Slowly trying to show my folks how bad it is and how much better chrome and firefox is!

[PouringRain]

:sl:

I like Opera. Internet Explorer works fine for me, fast as opera. I used Firefox but it was too slow for me,

Yay! Two Opera users.

One thing I like about Opera is that I can keep a gazillion tabs open all the time, and they stay there, and do not use tax my resources, and if I accidentally close one I can retrieve it from my "closed tabs".

I really do keep a gazillion tabs open too. :statisfie I never used to do that before Opera. But now, with a bazillion-gazillion things saved in bookmarks, finding things can be tough (even with them organized by category). So, if I visit a tab frequently (like a forum), or if need a tab rather immediately, or if I want something at easy access.... then just leave them all open. At present I have open: 4 forums (3 islamic, 1 christian), neopets, 2 crochet pattern sites that I want to use soon, 1 site of pictures from my little ones latest photo session, 2 blog sites related to education, 3 Youtube songs (christian), 1 youtube nasheed, 1 youtube salah vid, my email box, 1 IRB site, 1 food site, 1 google book site, 4 research sites (education), 2 sites that were posted on this forum the other day that I wanted to look at further, and 2 sites on variations of tashahhud. (My life in tabs!)

With firefox I used to have to save them as bookmarks on my toolbar. I would never think to have open multiple tabs or else it would just drain my resources and slow down my browser something awful.

[-Fallen Angel-]

I dont use Chrome simply because its known to collect quite a lot of data (while many other programs do this too) and Google is one of the biggest "data" collectors around. Dont wanna be supporting their agenda by using it :p

I dislike firefox...it looks ugly. O_o

[S.Belle]

Too set in my ways, so I use IE

same here:hiding:

[SlaveOfGod]

On the laptop there's IE, Chrome and Firefox. I generally use IE because it's a custom now lol and when I'm on my iPod I use safari :)

['Abd Al-Maajid]

That is VERY interesting news to me.

What's more interesting is Chrome doesn't handle RSS feeds...:ermm: at least not a native one.

[Rafeeq]

I use to IE and I am addicted to it.

[marwen]

I use to IE and I am addicted to it.

so are computer hackers :D

I feel much secure and comfortable using Firefox. I used all the other browsers for testing and compatibility matters. I think google Chrome is my second choice because it has a quick loading of webpages, but I don't use it too much. I use IE only to download Firefox if there is no other browser in the machine ;D .

these are good stats about the use of browsers :

I use firefox and was just about to say thats a great feature, i shut windows by mistake all the time......then i looked at firefox toolbar and realised i can do it on there....ive only used it forever and didnt know lol

[manaal]

Using Firefox 3.6.15, is the new version better? I was using Opera before and IE before that. Tried Chrome but didn't like it.

I've installed the fast dial add-on to make it more opera-ish. Any other cool add ons i should have?

[peace_maker]

I use both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Fire Fox. But I'm usually stuck up with my regular Nokia phone browser.

[Huzzy_786]

Firefox for the win!

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Opera mini.

[Ali Mujahidin]

I use Firefox. Beta 4 actually. btw Firefox runs better in Ubuntu than in Windows.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ You use Ubuntu? :)

[Ali Mujahidin]

Oh yes, I use Ubuntu. Sabily, actually, which is built on top of Ubuntu. Sabily has built-in Athan and dua plus a nifty mouse pointer with dzikr. All free and legal. Also virus-proof. So far Linux had only been breached by two virus attacks and one of it is a planned security test. If you know now to use Windows, you know how to use Ubuntu.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Good. I know about Sabily. I am using Ubuntu since it's Intrepid release...so it's been a long time now, I am using 10.10 now and I use Othman Quran browser on my box.

IE is the worst of all web browsers, it's slow and it's among the favorites for virus/wares/hackers attacks.
You might want to do yourself a favor and download mozilla firefox:

[Ali Mujahidin]

IE is the worst of all web browsers, it's slow and it's among the favorites for virus/wares/hackers attacks.

I second that. Make it I third that, too. I used IE, too, long ago, until I was totally fed-up with the virus attacks. Then I switched to Firefox. I have also used Opera and Chrome. They are faster but they don't have all my favorite add-ons, so I am sticking to Firefox.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

Google Chrome is not running fine on my Ubuntu 10.10, it has some serious issues with Ubuntu lately. So, it's time to say goodbye to Chrome, I am back on my Firefox 3.6.15.

Are you running Chrome under Crossover or are you using the new Linux Chrome?

['Abd Al-Maajid]

Man, I cannot afford buying Crossover...:(

Using firefox 4. I must really appreciate the effort the folks at mozilla put in, the browser is awesome...everyone using firefox should update their software.

I used IE and then finally dowloaded Firefox..<3 it lol
How good is Ubuntu? I'm thinking of downloading it...

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Oh you'll love Ubuntu as well. :p I am using Ubuntu since Nov-Dec 2008 and no regrets--well why would I have regrets using Ubuntu when I don't have to worry about viruses and antiviruses and I need not spend money on buying licenses for the software...

Don't just download it. Use it :p I should say that a normal user can easily with some self education or with the help of some books available on internet can administer a desktop Linux.

[Human_Being]

I only ever tried IE, Firefox and Chrome like but I had probs with IE and Chrome but never had any with Firefox so i stick with Firefox

So would I have to remove windows 7 (which I an currently using) and then download Ubuntu? I'm still having two minds about using it because other users may not want to adjust using something 'different'.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

So would I have to remove windows 7 (which I an currently using) and then download Ubuntu? I'm still having two minds about using it because other users may not want to adjust using something 'different'.

No, no, you can use Windows and Ubuntu concurrently-well not literally. You can have both OSes on your computer. I use Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows Media Center Edition on my computer. You can use the Live CD/USB option before you makeup your mind.

[Reflections]

You can use the Live CD/USB option before you makeup your mind.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

I'm afraid, in that case you might want someone to guide you through the installation/grub-configuration/desktop-configuration to be able to use your computer seamlessly.

I'm surprised, if, as you said you are useless at computers how did you find about Ubuntu?

[Reflections]

^^

Someone recommended it to me, prior to that never heard of it.Insha-Allah I'll see whether its worth going through the hassle of downloading it or not.

[Woodrow]

I just now updated to Firefox 4. It has some interesting features. But it dosen't support the colored tabs that I was used to. It does have a nice add0n for 3D tabs. I'm playing with that now. 4 is prettier than the older Firefox, but outside of more stuff to play with I think I like the Firefox 3.6 better. But, I'll give 4 a few weeks try before I give up on it.

[Little_Lion]

You can't beat Ubuntu if what you use a computer for is the internet and paperwork. If you game, stick with Windows unless you want to dual-boot, which I would only recommend if you REALLY know what you're doing. :)

I just switched to 4.0 too, and I'm hoping they come out with the toys for it soon enough. insha'Allah. I already had the 3D browsing through CoolIris, so it's not really a new feature for me. :/

[Ramadhan]

Using firefox 4. I must really appreciate the effort the folks at mozilla put in, the browser is awesome...everyone using firefox should update their software.

Yes, I just downloaded and installed it on my home PC this morning.

[Ramadhan]

I didn't see any noticeable difference between this 5.0 with earlier version
it seems a little bit faster though, but that could be only my perception

[marwen]

^ same here, not so much fun with the new version. It seems changes are not visible.
Developers say improvements concerned memory, networking performance and standards support for HTML5 codes etc. And also a fix for a big list of bugs.
It's also noticeable that the developement cycle has been accelerated. Version 6.0 may be soon available in 4 or 5 months.

I like firefox best, and I find it at least as fast and often faster than Chrome for visiting my popular sites.
Chrome is good when you go visit google sites such as youtube, gmail, etc.
Also, Chrome is too spartan to my liking, I like a little bit of pizzaz and yet still speedy, which is Firefox.

Facebook is a time hole. I had to quit going there because I was spending way too much time posting sarcastic comments on other people's statuses (or posting my own while drinking). I still have my profile, but I haven't been there in a few months now, since before I took my shahada. So none of my FB friends know that I am a Muslim now.

Yeah, it does take a little getting used to, especially if you've never used Linux before. If you're a Windows user and you want to try it, I would suggest dual-booting it so you can go back to Windows quickly and easily. You have to be willing to play around with it a bit, I guess. Or at least that's what I'm doing.

Agreed. Another good reason to use Firefox instead of Chrome :D

I would suggest checking your router and your internet connection. I once went months using a really terrible internet connection or none at all, not knowing the router had accidentally gotten unplugged. I hadn't even thought to check that. But if your internet is really terrible, that could be the cause. Or you might need a new router. Also, there are usually various different internet connections to choose from on any one (or several) router(s). Try using a different one.
