Ok so I have internet explorer and I have known for a long time that it dosen't work that well with AG. I have been to lazy to switch it and today I decided to finaly get a new one, but my problem is that I don't know which one to get. I know that AG recemendes Firefox but I want to know what the users think. Also tell me why that you think I should use this one.

I prefer GoogleChrome and Opera over IE and Firefox.

I prefer Firefox, due to the add-ons. If you really want speed, go to Chrome.

Alright thanks I will think about that. I would still like some more suggestions.

Firefox is the best for customizability.

my add-ons ftw.

I personally find google chrome to be the best, and they are getting add-ons for it, including an add blocker. I would say firefox is second best because there are some web features that don't yet work in google chrome. Then again I had a teacher who's website only worked in IE...

People who create websites that only function correctly when viewed in IE (or any one specific browser) are friggin' noobs.

Most netbanks in Denmark only function in IE. NOOBS made them. Seriously.

It's fine to state that a website looks best in a certain browser, but when using another completely breaks it, that's just horrible fail.

Personally I use Firefox for nearly all my browsing. No really good arguments for it, though.

i guess it also depend on what you really need or use. i believe that google chrome is kinda like the basics, but its all you need. fast and efficient, but im not sure on customization. i use firefox, and its great. fast efficient, and lots of add-ons that can really help make things easier. not sure on all that google chrome actually has, but im sure that either one of them will work perfectly

Sounds like Maxthon has a buncha useless add-ons. I dislike that. :P

a exit screen which allows you to do a variety of things on the next start up including starting the same session again.


built-in FF

date/time is in the corner

adblock is useful

smart download is unneeded

exit screen unneeded
screen capture you just gotta hit prtscrn
gestures is unneeded
float - how long is too long?
notepad you can just open a text document
split view is already the windows 7

don't get me wrong, FF has loads of useless ones. you just gotta weed them out.

just lookat page1 for my add-ons. there's already a description and i don't really wanna type it all out.

the one thing that sparks my interest in max is float.

I never heard of that maxthon thing, maybe I will go look at that. It sounds a lot like Firefox.
