    Chrome or Safari

    Got fed up with IE being so slow and unreliable.

    Which alternative browser do you recommend?

      I haven't used Safari, so can't compare the two.

      I use both Firefox and Chrome on Linux and Windows (MrsF's laptop). Haven't used IE in years and see no need to return.

        I prefer Firefox, Mr P prefers Chrome.
        Neither of us has touched IE for quite some time
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          I wouldn't use Safari in Windows, its great on a Mac, but last time I tried it on windows it was useless.

            At former ClientOrg where I was stuck with Windows, I used Chrome for browsing and Firefox for development work. (I would have used Chrome for both, but we were developing for an application that embedded Gecko rather than for the web.)

            On the Mac I use Safari. I tried it on Windows, but it killed the ClientOrg machine - not even a BSOD, just start Safari and BOOM! a moment later the machine rebooted

                I use IE. Firefox is too slow, Chrome is too basic, and Safari comes from the evil empire so I wouldn't go near it. I suppose I should give Opera a proper try one day.

                  I use firefox, chrome & occasionally IE as some sites I deal with require it. Opera I have on my phone but I don't really use it on the desktop

                  I have just typed "sudo apt-get install lynx" into my ubuntu server. I'll probably regret that in the morning.

                    Chrome certainly opens faster than others seem to. Not sure opening speed is same on all machines, Firefox which everybody else rates, is the slowest I find. Setting maybe.
