Firefox 3.5.7 with Adblock plus, a theme addon (i forget its name) and greasemonkey (for ql addons).

personas?

Yep!

wow, this is pretty sweet.

:)

hehe nice

yep. nothing beats firefox + adblock plus when firefox is working properly (no random crashes)

chrome + privoxy does imho
A LOT faster, more reliable and i like the overall look better (don't care that it uses less ram since i've got enough anyway)

I'd say they are both fine, but without noscript or noscript-style protection, Chrome has no business surfing the general internet. I do notice some significant performance issues on certain flash sites with Chrome, but other than that, neither is "faster".

There is also an extension for FF that makes it look identical to chrome.

Nerds

first person to vote IE is a cunt

:(

I use firefox for quake and porn... does that count for anything?

The question says choice not what you actually use.
I use ie at work, but firefox at home -> so I voted firefox for those few hours :D



Also: cunt!

Damn! I probably deserve it then.

Holy shit that was you? :/

It integrates with Windows 7!

that sneaky bastard!

firefox 3.5.7 with adblock plus, multirowbookmarkstool or smt and gmail notifier.

Firefox, newest version. I really have to say that Firefox has been getting slower and slower as the new versions come out. FF used to be super quick in 2.0, and just got worse from there.

Plus, bookmark management sucks a LOT. FF hangs for ~2 minutes when moving roughly 400 bookmarks from one folder to another.

And man, what's a morning without some coffee, soft boiled eggs and a near instant bookmark transfer

:>

firefox all the way baby..

Used ff for so long now, since it was called phenix or somethin.. But trying chrome now when it supports extensions. It feel much faster than ff. Doesnt support QL yet thou. :/

Firefox with:

-NEW Glasser
-New tab homepage
-NoScript
-FireGestures (<3)
-AdBlock
-IE Tab

Polls like that are rather worthless, web data > this, even though there are some advantages.
Addons:
Prism
Noscript (most valuable one)
Greasemonkey
FFClickone for 2DFighter.com
random bookmark sync. addon when I need it.

Lack of noscript is one of the only reasons I don't use chrome. =P

i'm interested in what browsers/addons people use here.

Something Sujoy could collect, like actual statistics on ESR would be more valuable for browser usage, that's what I meant.

i'm surey sujoy will put the time in and give me the statistics.... yeah

:)

firefox w/ noscript, adblock plus, fire gestures

i have safari installed to dl a few youtube videos. i'm sure firefox can do it but i cba.

strangely QL wont work if im using noscipt
any1 got an idea bout this?

you can actually make ql run in chrome, and it feels much faster than ff over here

elaborate..

try logging in to ql using FF then closing it and opening it in chrome. my account stays logged in and works in chrome. but my chrome is faked to look like ff, i hexedited something for that so may have to elaborate on that ?

nah, its fine, thanks

1. Go to http://www.quakelive.com/
2. Ctrl+Shift+I
3. Click console
4. quakelive.CheckBrowserCompat = function(){ return true; }
5. Log in and you're ready to play :)

but beware there might be bugs, on linux for instance it can't download anything, and I've heard it would systematically crash on windows

On linux i had to change my user agent in about:config to this :
general.useragent.extra.firefox -> Firefox/3.5.2

I use this trick on linux and it needs nothing more.

PS: And afair, chrome doesn't have about:config

oh sorry, i thought you were talking about FF

lol silly rabbit, tricks are for kids

Tricks is something à whore does for Money...or candy

I got a shiny Euro piece right here.

Now do your trick.

you share!

...do you have the site allowed?

sure do

Firefox + Chrome (mostly on my old laptop, 4 the speed)

i use firefox, but it shits me off. i feel like it reloads pages entirely everytime i revisit them, costing me data and precious seconds of my life

FF

I use firefox, but, tbh, just because of habit. It actually crashes more oftently than IE never did, and doesn't open pages any faster.

did you mean habit?

http://noscript.net/

I haven't had FF crash in years.

using firefox but moving on to chrome as soon as it has enough addons..

using chrome at home because its there right away and not 3 seconds after i click the item.

Win7 + Chrome for the laptop. light & fast is the key.

I agree laptops get so much heavier with xp and ie.

Can hardly carry the damn thing :/

exactly! desktop is XP + Firefox where persistance & compatibility is the key

i experience fps problems and some pl in ff , so started to use i.e again..is that even possible i dont know how come..:(

Chrome ,really nice browser the only bad is that i cant play quake live from it...

chrome is nice if you like to install a spyware on your computer

Only if you suck at browsing.

Only if you're too stupid to uncheck the "Help to make Google Chrome better by sending usage statistics and crash reports to Google automatically" box either during installation or even afterwards

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1758619#pid1758619

Firefox plus these addons: NoScript, Adblock Plus + Element Hiding Helper, Cookie Button in the status bar, Long URL Please, View Cookies.

I don't trust Google so Chrome is nothing for me.

What is Safari good at?

yeah, i'd like to know that, too.

who can't afford a mac

How many people who voted Firefox have tried Opera ? It looks like they're proud but they don't know what's in the competition. Opera is way better that Firefox, you don't need all the extensions and plugins and you can cancel when you close tabs and still go backwards.
Also the latest version is faster and as always is more compatible with standards but who cares.

[+]

and it works great with quakelive

ID

I find most opera users so proud about using their browser that they don't feel how it screws up more websites (like ESR profile page for a good example), and doesn't filter any ads. You can skip the last point if the urlfiter.ini works good as I haven't tried it, but it's still the inferior browser, even if with the "no-loading" +backing.
I think all of the popular non-IE browsers are ok, tho.

whats wrong with the profile page? :S

The mere fact that it doesn't pop up stupid windows like "OMG!!!! Your Firefox version has updated!!!", "LOL!!!! There are new updates for your extensions!!!!", "WTF!!!!! Now this extension is not compatible with your Firefox version anymore!!!!!!", etc, etc, makes me choose Opera over Firefox no matter how many sites it screws up (and I haven't encountered any, at least majorly, screwed up sites yet; for example, it shows ESR profile page exactly the same as Firefox, so I don't really understand what you're talking about). I don't like when browsers consider themselves the most important thing in my life, I don't fucking care what version it is, or what extensions there are, or whether they're compatible or not. Browser should know its place and should never bother anyone with its pitiful problems.
P.S. And Opera's ad blocker works perfectly fine for me, so I don't understand your that point either.

opera was showing it wrong, at least before. And I don't care about the addon/update popups,
they only waste a few secs of my life each week.

You waste your life as you wish. I consider mine not worth to waste on so insignificant things like browsers.

I think I waste less time loading ads and trying to view fucked up websites, but if all of your visited sites are correctly displayed and you can bother installing whatever the fuck that adblocking thing is, suit yourself.

The adblocker is built-in (and always was), no need to install anything.

well I'm pretty sure that it wasn't ALWAYS installed (or configured perfectly), but otherwise, ok.

Noscript.

i did
and it sucks
just liek the other
stuff.

been using it myself for a while now. I always was a fan opera :)

Chrome with Adblock extension...

but have to switch to FF to play QL.. =(

get prism and launch quake live as a seperate program

chrome users might wanna check this out!

http://lifehacker.com/5445690/make-the-most-o...extensions

Opera + urlfilter.ini

never felt need for any "addons" or whatever, tho I am not webdeveloper or some shits like that

FF but as others said, its getting slower imo. Chrome is a really nice browser, but you cant put all eggs on the same basket, google search & google mail with a google browser? nah

And what is Internet Explorer good at?

Crashing and automatically installing malware/spyware/viruses.

It's also the very best when it comes to not following web standards.

And since version 7 it is good at stealing Firefox's interface.

sounds tempting.

Ff + prism

FF is now the new ie...

I was using FF form 1.5 to 3.x. But i switched to google chrome for a few days when it came because FF was getting slower and slower...But i wasn't satisfied with it...Then i tried opera and i found it really nice, the only thing i'm missing is Ubiquity...

Personas was cool.

I used opera once too, the problem is many website are only optimized for ie and firefox, you often get problems with opera ...

Fire Fucks Sux

anyone else have ff crashing a lot more since the last update. had absolutely no issues with it till now but since the update every few hours the damn thing crashes. first time i even noticed ff had a crash recovery thing.

same here, but installing noscript made it crash a lot less.

my extensions: greasemonkey, adblock plus, ietab

ff with
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6937
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122 for undo closed tabs iirc
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109 to backup
microfox for theme https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/354
flashblock and the other obvious stuff everyone use

undo closed tabs is just ctrl+shift+t (ctrl+t opens new tab)
undo closed windows is ctrl+shift+n (ctrl+n opens new window)

I don't remember why I use Tab Mix Plus then
scroll wheel button on tabs bar to undo closed tabs btw, easier

firefox,
but you are right, it got slow,
ie is not that bad, firefox was just first with the tabs,
and then I got used to it (do not really know why microsoft took such a long time to integrate tabbed browsing)

ff wasn't the first browser to use tabs:

The first browser to offer tabbed browsing was InternetWorks, created by Booklink.

The next known browser with what it called "dynamic browser tabs" was Simulbrowse, now called NetCaptor, released by Adam Stiles on January 3, 1998. The Amiga browser IBrowse introduced tabbed browsing in 1999. The browser Opera V4 introduced tabbed browsing in 2000 (Opera had earlier introduced the multiple document interface enabling cascading and tiling of browser windows).

For some reason Internet Explorer and other browsers did not immediately appreciate this innovation, and the next known browser to offer tabbed browsing was Mozilla in 2003, followed by Apple's Safari. However, once it became a discriminator, everyone had to have it, and by 2005 most browsers supported tabbed windows of some kind.

have you looked that up in wikipedia? :-)
Anyway, of the predecessors in tabbed browsing you mentionend the only one that counts is probably opera, but opera has the problem it was (still is?) incompatible with many sites ...

I think in order to make the user switch to another product,
the other product must have some sort of killerfeature, it must have some key feature, or must be really much better,
firefox had tabbed browsing and ie didn't, and firefox was not that incompatible to websites like opera, so firefox got the lead,
it's that easy.

try the 3.6b5 ff beta version, it's much faster :)

you mean 3.6rc1?

it is indeed faster.

Still haven't tried rc1 due to some addon incompatibilities... i do use nightly tester tools that override FF's blockage for this, but I can't risk it because I do work from FF and I need some of those on daily basis :)

Did they revert it for the release then? Because it still seems slow as fuck to me.

FF + adblock obv, tab mix plus, smoothwheel, image zoom and various other plugins that are too specific to bother mentioning.

Honestly not had any problems with the latest versions of firefox, I don't find it overly slow. I'll probably switch when there's an overwhelming reason to.

firefox with NOIA 2.0 theme, download statusbar, noscript and oldbar

we would all go insane without oldbar

FF 3.5 with 40 extensions.. works like a charm

those who say it got slower over the time are retards who use the default tab manager etc.

Which are these secret magical tab managers, oh great one?

safari on osx snow leopard

im looking for a ff addon that lets me change brightness/contrast of webpages. anyone know of one?

Firefox w/ adblock plus; all-in one gestures, noscript, greasemonkey, QLDP.

is there something i can do to increase/change the font without fucking up the layout of some websites with firefox?

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

great addon

I use Firefox (with fullscreen addon & ql demo player and comp server browser) for ql; and opera for normal browser.

I think it's possible to get firefox to startup with different add-ons enabled (and hopefully) different homepage settings; it would have to be both for me, as r_fullscreen 0 with mouse gestures add-on is no fun :(

Could someone point me in the right direction?

prism?

Iirc, the last time I checked anyways, the demo player did not work with prism, or the comp server browser, one or the other. If it wasn't for that, I would use prism! Will need to check if prism works with both now, thanks for reminding me! :)

Browser: Firefox
Theme: Phoenity classic
Addons: Oldbar, noscript & Greasemonkey

new firefox 3.6 seems really fast

Really? I actually prefer firefox to chrome but I've switched due to load time and (more importantly) firefox becoming slow/unresponsive/memory hogging after extended use, and facebook chat not working properly on it. Is it better in 3.6?

chrome is faster

need noscript for chrome before i can switch :\\

For more privacy and security I highly recommend these Firefox extensions in addition to NoScript and AdBlock Plus (using the ABP Tracking Filter found here https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt):

RequestPolicy - lets you control whether a website you are visiting may request resources from another website
http://www.requestpolicy.com

Ghostery - blocks trackers and more, for example GoogleAnalytics, AdBrite etc

Firefox 3.6.3 + Greasemonkey (FBpurity) + Stylish 1.0.8 + Download Helper 4.7.2 = Instant Winz

Firefox 4.0 beta 1 should be released next week including massive performance improvement over 3.6 (though still slightly slower than chrome), more web standards supported (html5, css3, ecmascript 5, etc...) and prettier UI ( https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/4.0_Windows_Theme_Mockups for an idea of how it should look like, however keep in mind that not all of the neat stuff will be in beta 1).

omg u guys are obsessed with browrzers.

The UI is nice.

Apparently ESR doesn't support vimeo embedding, or I did something wrong. Anyway: http://vimeo.com/13560319

Use the embed URL from vimeo with the normal youtube tag.
