Chris... Posted December 29, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2013 Chrome is better than both of them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted December 29, 2013 Share #3 Posted December 29, 2013 Who said it was? I just stick with Firefox out of habit. I am leery of Google so I have stayed away from Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted December 29, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2013 Chrome is ok, but I prefer Safari. It is all in the users preference of what they like about a search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted December 29, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2013 I like Chrome. That said, Clint Eastwood likes Firefox. John Wayne preferred the Hatari version of Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted December 29, 2013 Share #7 Posted December 29, 2013 I use Chrome too. That being said...Master of the Universe has a point. I'm becoming more and more wary of Google and wanting to move away from them....though I'm just so vested now I can't yet. I use Chrome, but from most of my experience it's roughly a wash. I don't think Chrome or any other browser is significantly better. Chrome is only slightly better. By the way...you are referring to on a Windows computer, not Mac, right?

Square Wheels Posted December 29, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 29, 2013 Flash may be a thing of the past for most sites, but some still use it. Unless hell froze over Safari doesn't support flash. When I work on website FireFox has a great extension called Web Developer that really lets you dig around and optimize your site. I use Chrome mostly, I like that Google knows everything about me, I like that my extensions synchronise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted December 29, 2013 Share #9 Posted December 29, 2013 I like that my extensions synchronise. I don't use very many extensions because 90% are written by 19 year old kids who know as much about programming as I do about floral patterns (e.g. ZERO). I don't trust the extensions to be safe and/or not have malware/spyware themselves. I only trust a few and only if from an actual company. Anyway....not so much the extensions that syncrhornize, but the browser and other google services is very nice. I can go to a new computer, install chrome, log in that one time and all my booksmarks are synchronized to the new browser/computer. I think it even gets cookies so that if I told it to remember a password to gmail, for example, after one initial login, it will stop asking me on that new computer again too, etc...

I have been having computer / technical issue for days and it's making me bonkers. So, I had to open a merchant acc for the studio, and decided to go with the same company who's software we use to sign people in and keep track of everything. Well their receipt printer and my Macbook do no like each other. I had to update the laptop with Maverick, thought I had everything working, NOT, ended up downloading firefox cos apparently Safari does not talk to the receipt printer..... this has been so frustrating and I've been dealing with it since Friday. The icing on the cake was tonight when we ran a cc and the stupid printer would not stop printing the receipt, it just kept rolling out until the paper was finished, it was like something out of a comedy!

kingtermite Posted December 30, 2013 Share #11 Posted December 30, 2013 No, I'm referring to a Mac! Then take any suggestions with a grain of salt. If someone says a program is better on Windows, that doesn't mean, in any way, that it is or isn't better on a Mac. Apples and oranges, so to speak.

SuzieQ Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted December 30, 2013 I feel like Macs and Pc's are like republicans and democrats! Why can't we all just get on the same page and be friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about "politics". Browsers (or any apps) that are programmed for one OS will be a completely different code base than what's used for the other OS. So you can't really compare them 'apples to apples', so to speak. It would be like comparing car wheels to airplane wheels....they may look the same and do essentially the same thing, but they are for completely different vehicles. The two are completely different and you can't really compare them to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted December 30, 2013 Share #14 Posted December 30, 2013 I like Clint Eastwood more than Victor Mature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olas Nah Posted December 30, 2013 Share #15 Posted December 30, 2013 They all pretty much work and look the same at this point. Maybe a couple of years ago there was a clear winner (Firefox?). Little value offered by anything other than your original factory installed browser these days, be it IE or Safari. It's kinda like the Android/Apple phone wars. People go with Chrome or Firefox just to claim being different.... like Apple users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
