Chrome, Explorer, Netgear, or Firefox? (38)

1 Name: Ichigo : 2013-07-01 03:07 ID:KwH0ku6t [Del]

I prefer Chrome.

2 Name: AnonyMoose !sWuEIkBoFo : 2013-07-01 12:52 ID:IZKFELa7 [Del]

I prefer Firefox, but I use Chrome because of a glitch that doesn't allow me to click the top of the screen when using Firefox.

You can do that with Firefox as well.

I didn't know Netgear was a browser. I thought that was a router vender but whatever. I prefer Firefox for the customization and it is easier to develop for.

Firefox when on my laptop, for I have it perfectly customized, and Chrome when not, for it takes no customization to be 1/2 as good at my Firefox, and a non-customized Firefox is only about 2/3 as good as non-customized Chrome.

You realize you can sync everything with your Mozilla account and use the same settings and add-on on any Firefox right?

>>7 Never looked at the options unless I was fixing a virus, so I did not.

Now to use Firefox everywhere.

I like Chrome, because it's got my one big account hooked to my youtube account, iphone/desktop, and google+(which I don't really use, but it's a +. < See what I did there?). But that was only recently, I used Firefox the whole time because it was just less annoying when it came to downloads, but Chrome got better and now Firefox does the same crap Chrome does, which is not opening a separate window for my downloads. I like the separate window, let's just say it's preference. Also I get the feeling Firefox downloads faster, like there's something Chrome's doing to slow the process. Now I just use Firefox for illegal/adult stuff as I feel less watched by Google and less like it'll be plastered all over my one big account for chrome there. But they're both great browsers. Also, I'd like to say it's a tech myth/hate train/form of confirmation bias to say IE sucks, it's actually pretty decent. It's actually worked for me on something that both Chrome and Firefox failed on in the past. So I keep it around for if both browsers fail me.

14 Name: Number39 !VtUZ63FZ7Q : 2013-07-05 12:56 ID:JT6Zhr0d [Del]

I mainly use Chrome, but switch to Firefox for big direct downloads/uploads. So I use both.

TOR!!! TOR BROWSER GUYS!!!
Chrome records your keystrokes! That's how google makes money, by knowing who you are and what you like There an advertising company who is good at keeping up with trends.
That's to say Firefox isn't completely safe either. In one of Microsoft's update they installed a plug in to track the same things.
I'm not going to even talk about explorer it's trash. Tor is a way to relatively keep your shit safe, it uses firefox as it's basic layout though.

First of all, The TOR browser doesn't allow to browse the "open web" freely. It allows you to browse within the Onion network freely and unmonitored but when you leave the onion network all of your traffic can be seen from Tor exit nodes unless you use a VPN or proxy from the start. But if you had a VPN why would you need the Tor network in the first place? I guess it is another layer of security but it is rather unnecessary unless you're actually doing something illegal.

Second of all, Since Firefox is completely open source so you can view the source code so if it was truly tracking you it would be able to see it there, and if you still paranoid you can even use a older version of Firefox and build it from source.
Happy browsing.

Chrome c:

18 Name: HAM : 2013-07-09 21:01 ID:4uBGAbSr [Del]

Firefox.

It's faster than IE, and when I got Chrome it gave me a huge ass virus on my laptop that I had to wipe my whole memory for.

Also, addblocker plus is nice to have. Very nice.

CHROME ALL THE WAY

20 Name: Shadow Zeseir : 2013-07-11 10:23 ID:CwVfg/Q6 [Del]

Firefox. Chrome did not run any faster for me, and neither did Internet Explorer.

21 Name: Anugar !8wy2pTNghM : 2013-07-11 15:52 ID:/h/ie/Y5 [Del]

Firefox.

IE.. well.. it sucks.

Chrome uses a fucking task for every window, that's kinda stupid.

Firefox as Flash problems and it needs an independent Flash task to run work correcly that kinda sucks too but it's open source and it has a big developer user base, that means more awesome plugins for me.

Isn't netgear an ISP ?

22 Name: Sleepology !4a6Vun8zuw : 2013-07-11 17:10 ID:UaFI9qWX [Del]

>>21 correct

23 Name: Sola : 2013-07-11 20:21 ID:7oiRwMC8 [Del]

24 Name: Zev : 2013-07-12 23:36 ID:QeGvhHwq [Del]

29 Name: Raiden : 2013-07-14 06:56 ID:/XLIsrug [Del]

it all depends on what OS your running me I run Ubuntu 13.04 Linux and so far Firefox is the best for it

30 Name: Anugar !8wy2pTNghM : 2013-07-14 07:13 ID:sueXyeKM [Del]

>>29 I depends ? How so ?

31 Name: sleepology !CHs4eVJ3O2 : 2013-07-16 10:47 ID:Z1jUHXqw [Del]

>>30 how well the system responds to the browser I suppose

32 Name: Quad Piece : 2013-07-16 18:46 ID:7NBeBw3e [Del]

>>31 Yes the Chrome version for Linux is complete shit compared to the Windows version, Firefox is about equal on both systems. After that it's just personal preference.

33 Name: Anugar !8wy2pTNghM : 2013-07-17 09:27 ID:Yo2boz6X [Del]

>>31 Well safari is only good on OS X and as >>32 said Chrome's Linux ver. sucks and that leaves Firefox, which is good on all OSs so once again Firefox is better, but still that Flash independent task..

34 Name: sleepology !CHs4eVJ3O2 : 2013-07-17 19:08 ID:UaFI9qWX [Del]

Vulpix is best browser.

35 Name: Chrys !6XDKfCA24c : 2013-07-18 15:42 ID:JWY0dBDv [Del]
