I've had dialup, and son, you're no dialup

Top Five Reasons TBone is the oldest wiener dog in known space:

*TBone remembers when sandstone was just sand.
*In the beginning there was darkness and void, and TBone.
*When studying ancient history, people are really just reading the background events in TBone autobiography.
*God made the Earth because he got tired of playing fetch with TBone.
*TBone knows what trilobytes taste like.

and a bonus:
*TBone was old before oil was still dinosaurs.

I mean, in all honesty, you use IE, that is actually funny. and you may think you are old enough to be my dad, maybe you are, who cares? My dad at least knows enough to not use IE.

using IE is like taking a masters course in Sanskrit, useless

You don't actually work do you. You know that, when at work, you use the system they have right? Right?

Now, again, from using both I can't say I see much of a difference. PLus they are both megalithic faceless evildoer corporations, so there's no benefit there.
Meh. The .308/5.56 debate is much more fun. TIme to stir the pot over there.

5.56, it is the ammo of choice for the super friends.

Also, I use Chrome and Opera. And I had dial up all through elementary school.

Yeah, I"m rocking this post on IE 7. On a machine running Windows Vista.

You'd be surprised just how many companies still use IE6 - I have been into major banks and insurance companies here in the UK doing consultancy work and seen it first hand.

Despite being a very trendy football to kick about, IE9 isn't actually that bad - the speed and memory management is getting better and MS are gradually plugging the larger security flaws that exist.

I prefer Firefox for development because I favor Firebug and some other add-ons.

For personal use, Chrome/Chromium.

I got Netscape all up in this biznitch.

I used chrome since its beta, but finally switched back to FF because it has far superior privacy and ad-blocking.

At work We use Chrome, but I prefer Firefox for Home use.


Mostly for my Umbrella Corp theme on FireFox.

Chrome. With the gold icon of course

Anyone use the original AOL browser...?

I've never used chrome cause it never works when I install it.

Used to use IE until I discovered the majesty that is Firefox.

The simple but not deprived toolbars, the bookmark sync and firebug is why I use Firefox.

I was interested in the answer to this question, so I started up both at once. Firefox loaded up quicker initially, but when it got going chrome was significantly faster.

:O D:

I thought better of you DP...

I admit to liking Opera better, but of the two, I think Chrome is better tahn Firefox.

This is just based on my enjoyment of hte usage rather than on any real facts.

I like the Firefox add-ons, especially the download helper video downloader. Its great for por- I mean youtube.

Ha! It's not often that I exalt a post, but that managed it!

AduroT wrote:Alright, quick Chrome question then. How do I get that stupid bar on the bottom to go away by itself or simply never show up when I download something or save a picture? It annoys me...

Also, can I set which page a new tab defaults to when opened?

I used to know the answer to both these questions until they changed some stuff around. Personally I like the download toolbar as it lets you access the file you just took and move it to a folder that you might actually find again. My tabs used to open straight to google just as I liked but when I downloaded it onto my laptop it would not work.

If anyone knows the answer to these, I would like to know as well!

D: but....but it was there when I got it. and I'm too lazy to change it :3

But it's so easy...

Chrome as a prefrence. FF at work until I have been there long enough to risk downloading chrome.

Its always useful to have IE installed. IE 9 is not bad, but more importantly some sites and programs won't work properly on anything but IE. Its all well and good using the geek argument of "don't use those sites then" but when it is stuff you need for work you don't have much choice.

I sugest you learn a little about open source and browser security befor making statements like that...

I use chrome, I only keep IE on incase chrome goes belly up and i have to redownload it.
I like chrome, The way tabs work, to your most visited sites, to even how you can personalize it easily.

HAH, you underestimate my lazyness

I use all 4. I prefer chrome when available but work requires IE.

I wish my work would upgrade to IE.

I'm still stuck running Lynx on a DOS machine.
