    Opera Mini for my Android phone. My phone has an anemic processor, it is laggy and cannot handle Chrome.

    I use chrome on my PC.

    That happens to me sometimes, but it happens just as often as when I use Chrome or the built-in browser on my phone. So I think it's the site's fault.

    It's really not, though. I can use Chrome without any problems constantly on the same pages, but when I try to browse one of them even once with IE, it will have serious issues and possibly even crash.

    This is not subjective; IE is universally hated and was discontinued by Microsoft for very a very good reason--it's rubbish.

    Firefox, out of habit.

    Or safari on my phone. Because I don't have a computer I can use in my house. (Basically the 'home' pc is under maintainence and my dads working on two others at the moment, and I don't have my own)

    INTERNET EXPLORER FTW, I don't really care if people say it a slower browser.
    1) hate chromes setup 2) find that it always finds a way of crashing on my computer. EVERYTIME WITHOUT FAIL 3) I can access everything I need on IE, so why bother using another browser?

    (Ok I haven't tried firefox, but at this point im fine with IE, which is eventually going to get updated to Edge I believe?)

    IE isn't just the slowest browser, it's also the least stable, has the fewest options, is the most poorly programmed and the browser with the least amount of security by far.

    Also, IE has already been updated to Edge (which is decent) but it's only for Windows 10.

    I loved Firefox and used it quite a bit but now I tend to use chrome more.

    Anyways I remember I found out about this like a year after it happened Mozilla's Anti-Gay CEO Hastily Resigns Amid Controversy

    Well with every computer I have used it always is slow and crashes a ton. That has just been my experiences though.

    So why don't you vote for Firefox?
    At least if you don't vote for FF don't vote for Chrome too. :slight_smile:

    Just kidding.

    Chrome.

    I've used both IE and Firefox in the past, but between IE being extremely slow and Firefox frustrating me (I forget what exactly happened), I ended up using Chrome, and it's been a great, reliable internet browser.

    I like to use Chrome the most on my desktop because it's fast and I like some extensions that are available for Chrome but not Firefox. My desktop has plenty of RAM, so I don't mind the fact that Chrome will eat up lots of RAM when having hundreds of tabs open (sometimes).

    On my laptop I mostly use Firefox because it's also fast, but doesn't use as much RAM. My laptop only has 4 GB of RAM, and I tend to have many tabs and other programs open simultaneously, so efficient RAM use is more important on my laptop than desktop.
