On the desktop. Firefox

On this Andriod tablet ??? What is the default?

" There's a reason why the big browsers are so popular - they're the best available"

Maybe. And maybe microsoft bundling internet explorer with every version of windows sold has had some impact on the figures as well.

WTM

Iceweasel - a Firefox derivative, but only because of the development tools available. Otherwise I use and like Opera and Chrome.

Firefox. Always seems to work o.k.

Maxthon isn't a bad browser by any means - it's actually based on the Internet Explorer engine, so may feel familiar to many people.

Unfortunately it isn't particularly fast, although lots of users seem to think otherwise. I ran some controlled speed tests, and it was beaten hands down by Google Chrome. It was also slower than Internet Explorer and Firefox. It has a big following in Mainland China, and it's slowly gaining a userbase in the West, although it has a very long way to go.

Don't know if it's my imagination but it seems to be the fastest of the lot at the moment. Only one minor problem is that it doesn't recognise Trusteer Rapport - but who cares anyway.

wow chrome got a good percentage perhaps i need another look at it. when it first came out it was fast but dull and boring to use did not like the layout of it. might try the next final build version.

IE9 every time

IE

Fire-fox 12, is my first choice.

IE9, second choice, just wish there was an option to remove Black bar.

Google Chrome, looking into it and use it occasionally. I find its best suited for You-tube.

Chrome, all of the time! It is by far and away the best and most secure browser out there! (in my opinion, of course!)

I tend to use Firefox for most things but still use IE9 for my banking. I did download Chrome some months ago and it sits on my bottom tray but I have not yet used it. No particular reasons for what I do as it is probably just what I'm used to doing.

"Unfortunately the online world disagreed"

When I made this comment earlier, a few years ago, I seem to recall that you agreed with me, and blamed machinations at AOL, not the on-line world, for its demise!

Firefox 12 in Windows & Linux, I only use IE for updating Windows, I no longer use Chrome as I find it intrusive.

Netscape Navigator

Netscape Navigator was a good browser, I'd just started using it when they shut up shop as they could no longer afford to compete with Microsoft.

Towards the end they handed the code over to the Mozilla foundation to carry on development, so Firefox is possibly how Netscape Navigator would have ended up.

One side effect of Netscape's demise is that Microsoft decided they'd won the browser war, and pretty much stopped development of Internet Explorer.

"Still say Netscape was the best!"

Unfortunately the online world disagreed, and the l. You can still download the last version if you feel the need.

Chrome for everything except this site (colour problems)

Never used IE in any of its incarnations since I first went on line in 96.

Still say Netscape was the best!

IE9 gives me problems with my banks.

Firefox I abandoned after unexplained problems.

Chrome gives no problems at all.

Chrome almost 100% of the time, for both work and home.

I use IE8 only because our SAP system at work doesn't work properly in Chrome.

Work = IE9 most of the time but I also use firefox, opera, chrome, safari, dooble and on one old machine netscape navigator.

Home = IE9
