Do you use Internet Explorer?

Ah right so I'm not a thick twat after all! *sigh of relief*

I'm a Chromer too, because I mainly use a widescreen netbook so need as much vertical screenspace as possible.
But why don't those poor NSC spellers use its excellent spellcheck facility? It flags up errors as soon as the word is completed, and a single right-click on it brings up a list of alternatives from which another click will replace the wrongly spelled word.

The default web browser on my 64bit W7 is Chrome MS have decided not to allow IE8 be set as the default (unless you know what you are doing and fiddle around a bit)

Been a chrome user for a while now and find it 100 times better than IE. Love how you can just drag a tabbed page out of the window and create a separate session, like the frequent used page, the spell check in browser and the flexibility in changing the text box size of a web page. Tried IE 9 the other day and it's horrendous!

Chrome also has a easy to access incognito mode for 'specialist' browsing...

Interestingly, for the first time since I started my website, which has 100K visitors a month, during 2011 Firefox has become closer to the most popular browser used to view the site, previously it had always comfortably been IE. The stats for the 7 months of 2011 so far are:

IE 32.19%
Firefox 32.05%
Chrome 23.50%
Safari 8.61%
Opera 1.88%
Others making up the difference


For 2010 the stats were
IE 42.81%
Firefox 33.70%
Chrome 12.40%
Safari 7.62%
Opera 1.90%
Others making up the difference

For the past 30 days this has changed back in IEs favour,

IE 32%
FF 29%
Chrome 23%

Unfortunately, being a web developer I have to make sites cross browser compatible, that includes IE6,7 and 8. On the bright side I also have to use Chrome and Safari and the developer tool rich and my favourite browser Firefox. Had extensive insight into all of them and from my own opinion, Firefox is still the browser to beat.

My brother is a website designer/developer too, and he concurs, which is why I tend to use FF most of the time, but I do like IE as well, Chrome can go whistle as far as I am concerned.

IE 6 and 7 are the worst thing to walk the earth since Palace supporters, but unfortunately still widely used by banks and Government departments. Chrome is fine, I used it for about 8 months but I was never that fussed on the features. Safari is little thought about as it is basically a Mac browser shoved together to work on Windows. Firefox from a development point of view is an absolute dream and the development tools with the others as compared to firebug plus additions and other development addons is a million years ahead of any other browser. And again for me, from a viewing perspective, I still find Firefox my personal favourite.
