what web browser are you using?

[bornatbirth]

i have always used the latest IE for my online vices and saw google chrome looking at me, so i gave it a try...wtf have i been doing all this time :doh

i didnt realise a different web browser could make so much difference to the speed of using the web.

google chrome is so fast and the web pages are almost instant compared to IE, i often thought it my internet what was so slow.

so give it a try!!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[les_taxi]

Firefox for me:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I am using Google Chrome too! It's definitely faster than IE and even Mozilla! :xxgrinning--00xx3: after I've started using Chrome, I never opened IE again, unless I accidentally clicked the icon..hahaha :waver:

[bornatbirth]

now i have been converted, i will try firefox but i cant see it being much faster.

have you tryed all the different browsers?

[Arthur Little]

:Erm: ... 'Google' in my case ... with Tiscali - now 'Talk-Talk' - as my server ... but my PC seems to be working at a slower pace :Brick: overall since the takeover!

:anerikke: Nothing new, I suppose!

Yes i have..well except Netscape..haha..but i still prefer Google Chrome over IE and Firefox..

[sars_notd_virus]

im with talk talk too, but was using the latest IE until a few days ago and yes IE was slow with them until i changed browser.

are you sure your using google chrome??! :)

[Arthur Little]

To be perfectly honest, though ... I know very little [if anything!] about the technical aspects of computers. :NoNo: And, moreover, I tend to use mine more as a glorified word processor-cum-typewriter!

[bornatbirth]

are you on the talk talk home page?

click the google chrome above the talk talk header :xxgrinning--00xx3:

sorry arthur try this link,they must of changed the above http://www.google.com/chrome

Opera, which barely ever gets a mention, has been my choice the past few years. Recently switched to chrome which does seem quicker, especially for streaming videos.

I've used Firefox for years, just started using Opera Mini on my Blackberry

[KeithD]

Fastest is Opera, then Chrome, IE8, Firefox....

Another opera user :xxgrinning--00xx3: Oh why will nobody else listen :Erm: I'm sure a lot of their features have been copied by the others. I'm finding chrome faster now though, which is a pain reorganizing bookmarks.

[liane]

Using two browsers, Mozilla and IE. I should try goggle chrome :D

[Englishman2010]

I've been using Firefox for about 6 months, I only ever use IE when I'm completing on line forms that will only work in IE. I've been meaning to try Chrome, but as Firefox is pretty robust and doesn't crash like IE, I cant really see the point in changing.

Me too, too much faffing(london talk I think, must be this younger generation on here now or banned) about for my liking, I'll stay with Firefox.

I've don't like the modern street/urban way of talking or writing. I don't consider myself to be particularly old or a fuddy duddy, but I do feel that as an Englishman/Briton, English should be written and spoken the way I was taught at school, ie, with correct spelling and grammar if possible. It just seems more respectful to write in a way that others can understand and will appreciate.
Naturally exceptions apply to our friends who don't use English as their Mother Tongue. However, most of our non British friends write in a way that is more understandable than the urban way of speaking.
Oh yes, back on topic, I will stick with Firefox too:xxgrinning--00xx3:

:gp: ... nor do I ... especially if written or typed. Moreover, when I was at school - a lot longer ago than YOU, admittedly - we were taught to avoid the use of slang.

Obviously, of course, allowances have to be made for people with learning difficulties and/or who happen to be dyslexic But apart from that, there's no excuse for it! :NoNo:

As for the spoken word and manner of pronunciation ... well, I suppose a lot depends on the "locality" in which one is brought up. :rolleyes:

Oh, absolutely ... :iagree: with you - on both counts; indeed, I'm given to understand that English is the medium of instruction in the Philippines!

[Arthur Little]

"Oh yes, back on topic ..." :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I shouldn't worry about straying :icon_offtopic: ... most of us DO at times. :) And besides - for ME, at least -you've 'hit the nail on the head' in drawing attention to a subject I've always felt particularly strongly about! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

faffing (london talk I think) about

:NoNo: ... it's an expression often used up here in "Jockland" too!! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

There is no one perfect Browser its worth having a selection of Browsers I find.

Always a good one is Opera (Turbo mode handy for those with slow conenctions or 3g) Thats why Opera are huge on mobile phones. In a nutshell it processes the webpage on a server and speeds up the process and compresses the data. On high speed adsl lines not so useful but on those with slower speed lines can make a big differece many find..
It can also insome cases reduce the amount of data downloaded in a typical browse handy for those on a limited data allowance..
It does not work so well on certain types of page but still useable.

IE is IE and some websites will only open with IE.

Firefox is all about the addons although many power users dont have so much time for it as it become a tad on the bloatware side recently.

Chrome is fast as is safari which both use the webkit engine but some people have concerns with how google may use their data...

There are other choices but many are bulit on the same engines so little difference from one to another technically but may have a function/layout that you find handy so worth simply playing with..

As I mentioned in another post just now its worth also checking the settings on your router ensuring your DNS is setp and not on autodetect . Most servers are easy to browse into and change the DNS and one of the Wife's friend found when constantly clicking on facebook pages it made a bigger difference than changing browsers,o/s and device..

You can get an addon for Firefox so you can switch the enginge over so it acts ike IE as you say very handy for those sites which only work with IE..

The best add on for Firefox has gotta be no script.

[KeithD]

You could spend money on a way overpriced Ipad and use the Apple browser that doesn't support Flash :doh

[Wombat2k]

Are there add block and noscript plug-ins for chrome or opera?
I currently use firefox but a less bloated and equally secure browser would be well worth a try.

[somebody]

last pass for chrome i think and Opera is blockit.

THe no script developer is hoping in the future that when Chrome gets certain functionality that he can port it over. Be intresting what happens with Chrome 5.

[walesrob]

Firefox for me, but for some reason on my lappy IE is faster. Chrome for me is the slowest.

[Languish]

Google Chrome!

[badrock]

For speed try using the Avant browser. Alot safer than IE too.

Even though Opera is officially the fastest :xxgrinning--00xx3: .... and no browser is safe, as it depends on what the user is doing as this is when most infections happen.

Just got a new laptop yesterday and I thought I'd try IE8 32 bit and 64bit as its a Win 7 64bit machine with 4gb RAM. I must say that Win 7 is a damn site better than Vista, my old machine really struggled with Vista as it only had 2gb RAM, and I couldnt use IE 7 on it, I had to switch to Firefox.
FF worked on the old machine, but I found it very frustrating because I always had to jump through hoops on the sttings and downloads if I downloaded anything.
So far so good and no complaints with Win7 or IE8.
AVG business does slow down my e-mails in outlook 2007, but not as bad as it did on the old machine because Outlook 2003 kept crashing.

Windows 7 is a good o/s as I have been saying for the last year:)

[bornatbirth]

might i add that using chrome i couldnt use certain page web pages junctions ie filling in a online form,so i had to use IE :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Avant Browser uses the Internet explorer engine i belive..

Very true seen people with decent setups who click on a dodgy file or stop/lower security levels for there own benefit and then wonder why they get issues.
