PenTester Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Microsoft launched website " YourBrowserMatters " to test the Browser Security.

Krydos Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 That's a great idea. I'm thinking Ford could benefit from this idea. Just think about it: Smart roads! Ford contracts out to build all the roads in the world and makes them smart roads. If anyone drives on their roads in a car/truck that isn't built by Ford the road tells them that their car/truck is worthless. Microsoft telling me that any browser made by any company other than Microsoft is worthless makes just as much sense.

But I know that Chrome is much more secure - and faster - than IE9. Sorry Microsoft, but you didn't get me in your little trick. I can't use IE9 because: 1) It says "disable add ons to speed up browsing time" - um, whats the point of add ons if you have to disable them? Chrome never makes you do this - I have over 30 add ons / extensions and it never slows up. 2) It messes up Facebook and other websites sometimes 3) It has a number of bugs that I'm not willing to deal with 4) A lot of CSS3 isn't working in IE9 on my site for some reason IE9 is okay, but I prefer Chrome over all.
PenTester Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I like Firefox only. Whatever microsoft try to trick me, i won't(can't) fall in their trick because i am in Linux. I really hate the IE version because of their look and less interface
Tjoene Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 My fav browser is Chrome. No other browser can match it's speed or loading times. Although the latest version of FireFox is almost the same as Chrome. And I only use IE when I'm desperate...
xwinuser Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Have tried Opera, Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, Chrome, IE and some others I cannot remember. Most sites are built for the big two FF and IE with slightly more being written for IE. Oh I guess there is also the MAC browser...Safari? I have abandoned all the fringe browsers and have gone back to IE as my main. I am not sticking with something just because it is sticking it to the man or is cool with the techie guys. Lately (and you can read about this on their website) FireFox has become a memory hog and has a larger foot print than even IE. Having a small footprint was one of the major features of FF, without that its just another wanna be. The FF site does say they are trying to fix the problem in the next release. We'll see. All the other Java based browsers may be fast but they lack in site compatibility, features and user friendliness.
anwaar Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 My 2 favorite browsers are Google Chrome and Firefox. Chrome , because it is very fast and Firefox because if it's add-ons!
micafire Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I prefer Firefox, firefox was excellent until it became unstable and crashed commonly, I migrated to Chrome which was true that is was excellently fast, but it's support for my features were not met in my production environment and even certain add-ons, so I went back to Firefox as Mozilla released it's 9.0 it seemed to be stable for me again.
tom527103 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 chrome has always been the browser for me !!
Pasarel Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I'm afraid I found a problem in the poll. It looks like something named "Internet Explorer" is listed as a browser. I expect the original poster to fix this issue as fast as possible.
Fusiongearz Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I find myself using Google Chrome than I do with any other browser. Quite frankly as long as the browser works and is quick it will do good for me.
