I use IE for work (so that means less tabs open, haha), and FF for non work related websites..at work. I also use IE for SSO. But it's still a flaky, unreliable browser. Used Opera, wasn't impressed.
I use a toaster very very rarely, unless mom makes omelettes and we want sandwiches on the weekend.

Every morning before I go on an exploratious safari, I use my chrome toaster to fire up a fox for breakfast while listening to opera.
...uhuh. I think I got everything. Anyway for real, I always use FF. When I come across a site that's broken in FF, I use IE.
Also I use my phone browser a lot. <--- VERY important for web developers nowadays!

A site thats is broken in FF ? thats a first. Usually its IE that breaks everything especially that dreaded IE6 which should be taken out back and put down.daarklord wrote:Every morning before I go on an exploratious safari, I use my chrome toaster to fire up a fox for breakfast while listening to opera.

And yes you can not ignore the iphone browser, is there a way to emulate that browser on a pc ?
I mean with those dimensions and its capabilities ?

This isn't a debate, or is it? FF isn't perfect, and at times, it feels like a bigger resource hog than IE. Having said that, I still think FF is better, but not necessarily the best.

Usually it's webmail and online registration sites which are custom made for the company that work only on IE and not FF. There was also one instance of a normal site being broken in FF due to using lots of layers and tables or something, but upgrading FF fixed it anyway. IE sucks, but in the corporate world, it is king.Sidewinder wrote:A site thats is broken in FF ? thats a first.

I have a friend who developed an iphone app on pc. Emulating the browser should be possible too. You can't use Apple's official environments without a mac, so you'll have to search around for alternatives. And don't forget the BB browser.
yes sure google Chrome is the best browser, when i first downloaded it, my internet was
running at a lighting speed, i even checked my speed

and it was normal too, hitherto i used firefox which chocked my browsing capabilities .
But the only one advantage with firefox is that it has more add ons, which makes things
much easier
