How Many Browsers on Your Computer?

[ShadeDream]

I currently use Firefox but it's not what it used to be. I'm debating between Opera and Maxthon with the only issue being that there were rumors of Opera being bought out by Facebook or potentially Google and Maxthon is based on the IE engine. I tried it a while back and I liked it a lot apart from the scrolling which wasn't sharp enough. This seems to have now been fixed.

Chromium for the easy JavaScript & DOM debugging, and sometimes using the "network utility" for analyzing POST requests, although I switch to Firefox (with Tamper Data plugin) when modifying the requests (when needed).

Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

I am currently using FireFox and Chrome, but IE is always the last result. I am always interested in finding new browsers, so this thread helped me

Lynx & links - anyone knows them?

Chrome all the way. But when needed I open firefox and time and time again I accidently open IE and have to wait a few seconds before being able to close it again

What is the most hardcore web browser in the world?
Run from the command line (cmd) (Windows XP, Vista(I guess) and Linux)

telnet google.com 80

Then type in:

GET / HTTP/1.0

and hit enter twice.
Congratulations, you made yourself a new web browser .

Interesting. How does that fit in the the Lynx & Links you mentioned? How does this process fare against other browsers?

Maxthon / Firefox / IE

I use Input Director .. As I have three monitors and three desktops .. Controlled with one keyboard and mouse ... So I can open various browsers in different screens for different tasks without slowing down the pcs.

Input director is free So if you have a spare pc around might make your life a lot easier than using everything on one monitor/pc.

Trying out Maxthon after seeing this thread and so far it seems slower than Chrome. Gonna test it out some other websites though.

For dev purposes I have all of these installed, but I almost never open more than 2 at a time:

Chrome
Firefox
IE
IE no extensions
Opera
Safari
Rockmelt (piece o' crap, btw)

@silentthunder
Lynx & links are the two text based browsers. You can find one (or both) of them in almost every Linux system. Text based browser is pretty hardcore.
But the most hardcore thing is to open the HTTP port (80) directly (ok via telnet) and send the shortest HTTP protocol command to get the web page.
Geek stuff .

I have firefox, google chrome, and IE (bleh).

I use chrome for the last 3 years as a primary browser, since they started to ruin the firefox.
Opera as my secondary. I was slowly kicking off firefox usage, now I almost do not use it at all. I will also try Maxthon after reading this thread.

I do have sometimes about 15 tabs opened and after reading some previous comments I wonder why people have about 50+, 63+ Tabs opened. Isn't it easier to use Read Latter or something similar, even bookmarks?

3: IE and Chrome.

I only use Chrome though lol.

 

[cyberjunkie]

Firefox and it's buggy.

 

[openaidbh]

Yeah I'm sticking with Chrome. I use IE for dev purposes but Chrome will always win for botting. "Inspect Element" ftw.

 

[theAngle]

I go with the top five: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer

I use Chrome for browsing and Firefox for development. All the rest I use just for testing the sites.
