A browser question

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Internet

Everyone uses their choice of a browser to get to the internet, so this is not a question of which one do you use or why.  You use what you use because it works.  If it didn't you would change browsers.

My question is do you have a second browser on your computer? 

Not really a simple question because if you don't like IE you load FF or something else and you automatically have two browsers.  I haven't head of any people uninstalling IE and I'm not sure if you can.

So, if you have multiple browsers on your system tell us why.  Is it only to provide yourself a back up to get to the internet?

Are there conflicts that can occur because of having multiple broswers?

Slow day for me, I may even come up with more questions.

Have you tried simply clearing the cookies then logging back in yet? Does that problem with rating skins apply to all skins you try to rate?
All skins,and walls. Odd, though I've been clearing them out in IE7 w/'tools' and ccleaner,no help. It just did the same thing with FF3,( not rating)but FF let me "target" WinCustomize cookies specifically.I cleared them out and now both browsers are working again. Thanks for your response.

Opera is my main browser, as a secondary I use Sleipnir (which recently had an english release). It allows you to switch between the IE engine and gecko on the fly, which is nice. And yes, I know firefox can do that too with IE tab, but Sleipnir isn't bloated and gross with a bad skin engine

edit: link to sleipnir for anyone interested http://www.fenrir.co.jp/en/sleipnir/

I use IE6 primarily at home. That is, until IE8 comes out. I can't justify using a browser 2 generations out. But I mix that with firefox and opera at home. Opera is so much better with facebook, firefox is better with myspace and for reading news sites. Thats just my preference.

At work it's nearly all Firefox. Simply due to Firebug (javascript, DOM editing/debugging tool). I have IE6 on a test machine here at work that I use to test our sites, and IE7 on my primary work machine is only used with Gmail and for testing our websites.

I have three browsers installed: Internet Explorer (7), Firefox (2) and Opera (9). Basically, I use Opera for everything. I use IE only for Hyves (some dutch site), and Firefox only for uploading my crappy stuff to Wincustomize.

I'm looking forward to IE8.


In it's current state, IE8 does not work well with the Wincustomize forums. I've been using it in a Virtual PC and it's not bad, just not ready for prime time yet.

That is interesting CarGuy. What settings, if any, have you messed with in IE8?
