Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera or Firefox

I don't think I've even seen anyone need more than 50MB in their cache!
For best performance, override the cache size to 0MB (unless you have a solid state drive). If you need it, set your cache to no more than 100MB.

I have traffic shaping so I need a lot of cache.

Edit: Funny cache gone. Dunno why.

Upgraded to Firefox 4.01 from 3.x. Lot less sluggish than once used to be, and much to my delight, the PC doesn't shut down when the browser encounters and plays Flash video. Still happens on occasion; though I suppose I'll have to clean up the PC's innards -- probably heat issues with the hardware, especially the graphics card.

Note: been with it since 0.98 after IE5.5 got punctured by malware. Tried the others but I kept coming back to it... and I'd like to do things down and dirty.

Note #2: Chrome's a bit disorienting to use, even if I'm hearing a lot of high praises; Opera had some layout problems with Facebook while using its chatboxes; Seamonkey's stable but have to transfer my bookmarks from FF by importing them as HTML, and I think not all of my favorite addons can work within SM.

I'm stuck with Iron(Portable) for the longest time now(almost a year) without trouble. Didnt even have to install the little gem.

For extension addict, its compatible to chrome extension too.

Firefox is awesome, but certain things doesn't work on it, so I also use Chrome.

[mukansa monkey]

Mostly using Safari on my Macs.
Occasionally load Chrome for pages that seem wonky in Safari. Worried about the whole googleware issue though.
Firefox on the Mac: Tried it, hated it. Hogs memory, is slower than dirt to load pages sometimes, crashes for no discernible reason, and the real killer: takes literally minutes to quit. Something just not right there, no matter how many cool addons it has.

All you need to know about IE

Firefox all the way-I don't want any stinking google crap on my computor.

Currently switched to OperaNext, which is basically just the usual pre-release builds only this time the browser autoupdates to them. It’s essentially like another browser that just doesn’t mess with the installation of the latest stable version of Opera. Aside from the experimental features/fixes the only difference is that the menu icon is blue and Opera “O” icon is much cooler.

My comments - Firefox 4.X is starting to look a bit Chrome'ish :P but can be reconfigured easily back to "what I like". I've been using Chrome on a separate box.... I can see the appeal to "appliance user" type folks but not for tinker-types like me.

Seamonkey has a few configure wonkies (like the bookmark issue and some "why?" moments with the defaults) -- however it is a much smaller footprint in RAM which is good for older machines. yeah, it lags behind the curve in adapting the add-ons and plug-ins... though the basics have been ported so far.

I've looked at the latest IE... but frankly I've had it with operating systems doing things unrelated to core duties - especially if applications are just tangled up in them and reducing stability. It pisses me off when games launch IE rather than my defined default browser (usually Korean f2p MMOS but Sony's Station Launcher is hard-code to launch IE rather than the default browser as well).

True, because IE is highly integrated into Windows, most Korean MMOs tend to use IE as their player login system before jumpstarting the game engine (as they sometimes set the login onto the game's main site, while others build a separate launcher with an IE control embedded in), but it's a rather annoying implementation compared to other MMOs with their own login system within the game engine.

I've used Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome (and Netscape)

Should I feel accomplished? (Although I prefer Chrome so far.)

I checked IE9 and it has an adblocker like in FF.
Where's option to save video from youtube like in FF?
Where's import and export bookmarks/favorites like in FF?

[Random32]

@Tiberium

VideoCacheView works with IE9 I think. Not sure though as I use Firefox.

I was talking in terms of IE9 only not 3rd party software.

OK... found how to import and export not from the directions from that site since they were wrong. Still there doesn't seems to have a way to move a bunch of bookmarks in the the favorites bar without being in a folder.

Anyway it was a nice try from M$. I still prefer FF4 although it's sluggish now and eating a lot of mem. I had to use CleanMen to free memory.

How do you do that in Firefox without an addon?

Don't you ppl have in FF4 a icon next to the reload button that shows up when you play a vid?

[Random32]

No, actually...

Screenshot? If this is built in, it would be nice compared to looking through the cache or using an extension.

[Tiberium Wolf]

I don't think I have any plugin that is enabling that.

[Random32]

I don't have that...
