I'm a big Mozilla Fire Fox guy. I find it works best with most sites I visit. I do, however, have to go back to IE 8 at times for sites that just don't work with anything else.

I use fox too
Beth J. Oct 19, 2010, 4:21pm UTC
I use Goggle Chrome because it is easier to use and has where you have been..
Mary McKinney Oct 19, 2010, 4:22pm UTC
Right now I'm using Safari, and only because that's what was on it when I got the computer (used), I downloaded and love Fire Fox, I don't know why I'm not using it...

I use Firefox, I find it nicer to look at and like you said the addons and I also find it faster for loading pages and the what not.

Ryan Reid Oct 19, 2010, 4:33pm UTC
lol, yeah!

IE most of the time and Firefox occasionally.
Bernard C. Oct 19, 2010, 4:40pm UTC
Am using the standard windows internet explorer - not used any other browser to date :-)
Nora D. Oct 19, 2010, 4:42pm UTC
AOL (the guys call it AO-Hell!) and Internet Explorer.....those are the only two I've ever had and ever used......not in the "mood" to learn or get new ones....LOL!
Ryan Reid Oct 19, 2010, 4:51pm UTC
there is really no "learning" in Fire fox, looks and works just like IE, but it actually...works lol
ʚϊɞ Carol ʚϊɞ Oct 19, 2010, 4:45pm UTC
Just switched from IE to Firefox. Will never go back!
Pam S. Oct 19, 2010, 4:46pm UTC
I use safari because I have a MacBook.
alicia h. Oct 19, 2010, 5:12pm UTC
Firefox, IE just doesn't compare at this point lol
Rebecca D. Oct 19, 2010, 5:27pm UTC
I use Internet Explorer.
Bryan R. Oct 19, 2010, 5:28pm UTC
I use safari mostly. Firefox occasionally.
Tracy Fabre Oct 19, 2010, 5:39pm UTC
Chrome @ home; IE at work (no choice). I kinda refuse to try Firefox at home because Chrome works really well (faster for molasses sites like Gather) and because really I'm tired of people telling me to use Firefox. ;-)
Ryan Reid Oct 19, 2010, 6:02pm UTC
i tried chrome as well. it ran the same as firefox but i didnt like the look of it, to me they are one in the same just a preference thing
sharon g. Oct 19, 2010, 6:09pm UTC
I use IE like others as it was what was loaded on my system. Can you have both loaded on 1 system? Sounds like firefox may run a bit faster (which is always good!)
Ryan Reid Oct 19, 2010, 6:15pm UTC
you could have all of them if you want, and they are all free. its totally up to you!

IE has always had the "well it was there when i got it" card up its sleeve. not many know you dont have to use it to get to the internet...
Debra C. Oct 19, 2010, 8:28pm UTC
I have IE8 and Chrome loaded on this machine. Depending on the OS I load either IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari (I always have 2 browsers on a machine) in a variety of pairs.
Janet H. Oct 19, 2010, 9:01pm UTC
I use Fire fox but sometimes Internet Explorer
amy bryant Oct 19, 2010, 11:29pm UTC
I use both also. I mostly use firefox, but for some reason it won't let me log into my sidetick account, so I have to use IE once a day.
Marsha C. Oct 19, 2010, 11:14pm UTC
I've used firefox for years and prefer it....I've not tried Chrome or any of the others...except IE of course. I really only play club bing in IE since I feel that's only appropriate since it's sponsored by MSN
Ann K. Oct 19, 2010, 11:59pm UTC
I use Firefox almost exclusively. Occasionally I take a survey that requires IE but that's all I use it for and then begrudgingly. With my old XP computer, one of my kid's friends downloaded Firefox for us because the IE stalled and froze all the time. When I got my new 7 computer, I downloaded Firefox before ever using IE.
Jennifer R. Oct 20, 2010, 12:17pm UTC
firefox works the best for me
little pixie Oct 20, 2010, 8:21pm UTC
google chrome! cause it does not give me much trouble and its pretty quick. also helps me spell on gather! i am a terrible speller, i haven't gotten to many red lines lately though.
Ryan Reid Oct 20, 2010, 9:54pm UTC
fire fox has spell checking as well, its a godsend!
Jan S. Oct 21, 2010, 2:44am UTC
I like Chrome. It moves quickly and has so many options. I haven't tried Firefox.
Ryan Reid Oct 21, 2010, 1:02pm UTC
i find them to be very similar in looks and function. i think im going to do a head to head comparison myself to decide which is better...
