Anyone tried?

 

Just installed it. Appearance and interface is cool as f*ck. It is, however, as slow as my love life (very slow) and for some reason it likes to move pages down for no reason... Hmmm!

Seems remarkably similar to firefox - what a coincidence!

 

Really starting to piss me off, this jumping down pages sh*te.. Trying to click a link and the page moves! Disaster for the old nerves...

Was looking at The Hat's stats and had a wee look at the overall browser habits..

 

Internet Explorer: 40.64%

Safari: 20.75%

Firefox: 19.05%

Chrome: 14.23%

Others: 5.33%

 

I'm quite surprised at the high number of those using Safari which leads me to guess its folk with iPhones.

 

I really hope those that are using I.E is due to work. If not, get chrome or firefox you numpties.

I use a mixture of the above. When im offshore my office computer has Internet Explorer but the Internet cafe ones have Firefox. On quite a lot on my iphone using Tapatalk so Safari will be used for that. My old laptop had I.E but I got a new laptop last month which has Chrome so I use that. Find it much much better than I.E, so Im in agreement with Bebo, use Chrome.

Maybe 40.64% of Hatters are thick.

Had never heard of "Camino" before seeing the link.

 

Any good?

 

Yeh its pretty good, i used to run it on my macbook pro. Way more customisable than safari - ditched it after the lion upgrade though (don't even know if its compatable now tbh). They're probably working on it...

It's only available on Mac. It's basically a fork of Mozilla's firefox but re-written using Mac OS X's API's. It's good, but i prefer firefox due to the extensions and greasemonkey scripts.

 

 

I use Nightly, which is the beta versions of the new firefox. 8.0a1

Not being very computer literate, whats the benefits of Chrome / Firefox etc versus Internet Explorer?

 

I use Safari on my I-Pad, not sure why it is much better than Internet Explorer either?

 

Have a look at these graphs.

 

The main reason is security, along with performance and the way IE doesn't conform to web standards. Any web developer and designer hates IE with an absolute passion.

Always amuses me how passionate some people get about web browsers :)

 

Used IE7/8 for a while and did find it slow & a bit unstable on occasion, but since upgrading to IE9 all that seems to have been resolved. Quick and reliable enough for my needs.

Keeps geeks busy whilst the rest of society just get on with working, drinking, shagging and taking drugs.

When your job involves the web and you have to hack things to make sites or applications work and display properly in IE as it doesn't conform to the way it's actually meant to work/look, then it's pretty blood annoying.

That may have been true 20 years ago.

Todays SUN says a survey has been carried out and people who use Internet Explorer as their default web browser are thick dunces! it put it nicer than that, lower iq's I think.

 

I had a laugh at the story till I recalled what I used! :nono:

 

 

Nae as thick as the folk who read the Sun. :sherlock:

 

I await the "I read it while getting a fish supper" response.
