Internet Explorer 8
It sucks! Half the sites I visit must be run in compatibility mode, including cplusplus.com
Ugh. Flashy GUI but like all versions of IE it doesn't work properly. It doesn't comply with W3C standards... I wish the EU had made them stop including it with windows like they were meant to... there should be something so you can download one of the several most common browsers so you can type into a command prompt, "SET browser = FIREFOX/CHROME/OPERA/IEXPLORE" or something like that and it downloads the appropriate browser and installs it. If whoever made synaptic/aptitude can do it, so can microsoft... probably.
Even aol can manage to display websites correctly... and that's one of the most annoying programs ever. Like all internet noobs, my dad actually used to use aol.

I didn't usually get displaying errors with it, but I hate the way you can't edit it properly (not enough options), it does display some pages wrong, and it also refuses to even try and display pages occasionally.... well it happened once, but still - I remember trying to create a web page and I simple couldn't get it to display right. I asked my friend and he asked what browser I was using. I said IE. He said "Try it in Firefox or something" so I downloaded Firefox 2.x (I forget which) and it looked fine.
I did like the GUI on IE8 and it's much faster than the other IEs, both in terms of the program itself and loading webpages, but I just got bored of how it looked, how much better Firefox is, and also how you don't get enough preferences. Particularly that you can't turn of that stupid colour coding scheme. If I wanted red, green, blue, purple and yellow tabs I would download the gay pride browser.

I don't like to much 'User interface', so I tend to use IE 'full screen' or use Safari. For some reason I when off of using Firefox.
Oh? I like the extensibility. Also it's cross platform, apparently it's secure (but I don't really know much about security) and it works fairly fast compared to IE for me. Plus I'm on Linux so I doubt I can use IE on here.
I did very much like Google Chrome. It's very fast, it runs all the tabs in a separate process so you can tell which tabs are using too much of the resources, but apparently the ToS says something about them being able to steal everything you pass through it. I don't trust them enough.

A few minutes ago, something occurred to me. Could it be this is some sort of trick to hide memory leaks?
-Well, there's obviously something leaking, here, and we can't find it. Any ideas?
-I know! Why don't we let the OS do the memory management for us?
-Brilliant!
Maybe...
(or something like that)
Is this the kind of thing you meant?

No. I couldn't work if bad code made me nervous.
I don't like this whole "cloud" thing Google seems to be trying to accomplish. That's what I was talking about that time.

I prefer firefox over IE, but how do you know what's the fastest browser (aside from how it feels)?

Actually, I've found that Firefox is really slow, but Chrome's fast and has great support for web pages

I hate to come to this level but has any one tried the other browsers? Opera err..... ya stuff like that. But firefox is fast easy to use fully customizable ... well close at least you can add things to it one of my favorites is scrap book.
By the way how do you use Firefox's dom inspector, I have read about it in a book but I can't find it in tools?
