Title: What Browser Do You Use
Post by: Hreidmar on April 02, 2006, 02:10:01 PM
So with the known issues that Opera is having with some aspects of the site.  I thought I'd take a poll and see what everyone is using.  Please just check the browser that you use the majority of the time when viewing the site.

I'd say Firefox is more or less the gold standard to shoot for vis-a-vis browser compatibility. It only implements W3 standards.

I just started using Opera for the speed boost. I might be going back to Firefox due to compatibility issues with some sites (this, SO, eBay for starters).

As a gun nut, I'm on Safari.

I use (and love) Firefox.  I sometimes have to use Explorer at work, though.  That's my price for slacking off during work hours. :)

I use Explorer 100% and have no desire whatsoever to use anything else. :p

I use Linux most times, but sometimes I use Firefox on a Windows machine.  It depends on which user leaves the window open next to the tree. :mischief:

I still use Firefox even though some little squirrel has been trying to get me to switch to Opera.

This poll is really just for information more than anything else.  If there's a problem with any specific browser then we'll know how many people its effecting.

Firefox here. And I would use Konqueror (which one could consider as being sorta like Safari, even if at the base it would rather be the other way around) if my stupid DSL modem was a bit more compatible with Linux.

I've installed FF several times, and it always seems to glitch on certain content (video, Flash, etc.).  I gave it up, except for a few cases.
 
I'm mainly using IE7 at home and IE6 at work (the latter is mandated).

I'll vote FF as it is my browser of choice, however I use IE often as well.  You'll find many people have to use it at work as stated by Sobek.

That would be the case for me, if I could access Nutkinland from work.

If I didn't use Safari I'd be using Firefox. I haven't been experiencing any problems until today--it won't keep me logged in between visits, and the header image seems to be overlapping with the upper-corner login window. I'll keep checking around, and it obviously isn't that huge of a deal.

An addenda: normally I use IE (embedded in FF thanks to IE tab) for the PBP, saves me the trouble of having to logout and login everytime, just one small icon in the statusbar to click in order to switch cookies around.

I'm having the same overlapping problem with FF. The page title acorns are wrapping down to overlap the forum path so I have to back all the way out to the forum front page and click my way back in to take gander back at the thread list for the forum. Hope ya get me :)

Firefox is my personal favorite too, but even it has problems. The one I hate the most is if you declare any object to have a negative z-index value firefox makes it invisible instead (shunting it behind the body).

Most times I use Mozilla on a Linux machine.  It works well enough.

I like IE cause it's easy to use and compatable with every site I've ever tried to go to.

im using the current release, 1.7.12, which i like a lot.  i tried using firefox/thunderbird combo before, but i like the way the suite works as a whole better.  I havent tried seamonkey, just mozilla and firefox.
