Which Browser
« on: 16 October 2012, 16:14:52 »
I've tried looking at a couple of theatre sites which come up with a message to change browser to an up to date one to access the site. I think I currently use IE7. I am thinking of putting in Firefox, what would be your choice and why ??? :)

For me ease of use is better, only want to access Favourites, Mail, and Web site search now't fancy ;D

If the machine is up to date, good spec, etc, then IE9, having said that, something like a simple Atom Netbook etc will struggle and or be sluggish with IE9, so chrome or firefox.

I've been using Chrome recently as it seems much quicker than IE.

There are a couple of funny things on this site though, some of the avatars like Chrisgixer's run much faster and this guy's eyes  :D have gone ballistic!!!  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And without last weeks critical updates, Chrome has the security of a 1980s Ford. Actually, even with the updates, it probably still has ;D
