Author Topic: but seriously (the which browser should ebony use thread)  (Read 1566 times)

Chrome. It's the most convenient for the day-to-day user in most cases. For some people it's slower, but in most cases it is just as fast if not a bit faster than other browsers. It has automatic translation of pages, which is a big plus, it has a feature that lets you see which tabs are playing sounds (Which can be quite useful indeed), and it supports a few more touch gestures than firefox does.

chrome because i'm a big smelly willy and all that matters to me is that you conform to my reality and also eat corn dogs



anything that isn't Opera

If you're looking for exotic choices, I used Sleipnir a long while back and it was an interesting experience. The current version looks a lot different than the one I used, though. The one I used was basically an engine that mashed firefox and internet explorer together, which was nice in it's own way because you got some of the weird compatibility benefits of IE and the ability to use Firefox extensions, or switch to the Gecko engine entirely. It also had 'tabs for your tabs' which was fun for a while. I think the current version is something mashed with Chrome though, I dunno.



I use Firefox because it is quick and not trash. Chrome is not quick (on my internet), Internet Explorer is trash.

heard really loving creepy stuff about chrome.

I heard Chromium is a good alternative for Chrome, as it's open-source, and supposedly doesn't have any of Google's bullstuff tracking. I never personally used it, though.

Chrome is dropping Java so i'm moving to Firefox when they do

if you're looking to use something that isn't the normal "big name" browsers (firefox, chrome, opera, etc.), and you have a 64-bit OS, use waterfox. it's almost exactly like firefox, but it's made specifically for 64-bit computers so it can utilize your ram.

firefox has a screenshot full page button. no other browser can make that boast.
