jcl Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Safari, Chrome, or Opera, depending on what combination of fast, safe, and reliable you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete_C Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 lynx or some text only browser would be faster and safer; but not very satisfying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Techie23 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) I've been out of the loop with Chrome and Opera for awhile now, how are they doing on addons/extensions? I still personally use Firefox, solely because of the multitude of addons it maintains, (NoScript, Smarterfox, Firebug, WOT, Stumpleupon to name a few) most of which I couldn't live without.As for security, when you factor in NoScript and WoT for Firefox, how does it compare to Opera and Chrome?Also, last time I checked, Chrome was indeed faster (Loading web pages, executing Java code) than Firefox, not sure about Opera.And if I remember correctly Chrome runs separate instances for tabs so your browser doesn't get locked down when one tab uses browser resources to try and resolve an issue. Hopefully that helps answer your reliability question. Edited September 7, 2009 by Techie23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
