Which internet browser do you use and why?

Have now got iplayer [hurrah] but still can't cut and paste .

Now I can! Although my son did disconnect BBC from my telly in the process [temporarily thank goodness; I went into complete panic mode]. Goes away muttering 'I am not addicted; I am not....'

Windows XP operating system with Firefox and Internet Explorer depending what I want to do. I have found some things I want to do don't run on Firefox.
Chrome seems to insinuate itself onto my computer without me asking for it, as do a number of other browsers. They come with other program downloads if you are not careful and take over as your default browser, which is a pain in the but. Then I waste time going into programs on control panel to delete them.

Tegan. Tell him to sort it back again for you.

My DS once helped me remove a virus which was about a bogus security program and literally locking up my computer.

I told him what the problem was, he Googled the solution then talked me though on the phone step by many steps on how to get rid of it completely from all the bits of computer where it was hiding.
They have their uses, these computer bods.

I use Google Chrome and have Comodo Dragon as a back up Browser. I stopped using Exploror as it always seem to have problems. There does however seem to be a slight problem with Chrome at the moment.

Every now and then I get a page asking me to update Flash Player. This is Not right and it is definitely a problem of some sort with Chrome. Hope some one proves me wrong.

I have had Orange since the beginning of time, now it is EE. I have been told that BT gives a better deal. Any views.?

I get the Flash Player page too. Would like to get rid of it.

Nelliemoser - Are you aware that the XP operating system will no longer be supported in under a year's time? This means no more updates, which also means security breaches won't be closed...

My son is a software developer and is very anti INTERNETEXPLORER!

I use Google Chrome.

I just do as I'm told.

Feetlebaum I didn't but thank you for the information.

I've been using Google Chrome. It's fast, simple and safe. It also allows you to downlaod apps and extensions which makes it very customiseable. You also get a roaming profile so no mater which computer you log into with Chrome you get the same "browser desktop".

It also ties up very well with all the Google services giviung you in effcet the Google Chromebook experience.

I volunterr with a charity that helps older people get started on computing/ internet and we have found that Google Chrome is the best brower to introduce nebees too as its so simple.

flowerfriend - Your son is a good judge! The process has always been - get it to work how you want it - then make it work in MSIE! (This part has often necessitated screwing up the code with nasty hacks to get round the general uselessness of MSIE)

Here are the latest Browser use sts for the official World Wide Web consortium.
