Which Web Browser(s) do you use ?

Firefox in win-10 was very slow for me

PM 25.0.2 (64 bit) seems quite fast running on my W10 VM.

I haven't used Chrome in a while and I was never really impressed by it as it's a resource hog

I've always found it strange that people "wax lyrical" about Chrome (and its resource usage).

The way I browse (minimum of 20 open tabs) Chrome uses far more RAM than FF (or PM).
Once I had >200 tabs open in FF.

An interesting thing I've noticed on my PC is that FF uses far less RAM running on LM17 than it does on Windows.

I'm starting to use Pale Moon more often now, occasionally I'll use IE11 but that's too unpredictable these days on 10 as well as 7 and 8.

IE is just fine. All this browser stuff is just a matter of choice IMO.

From a webmaster/designer point of view IE should be scrapped, it's just not compliant with the way all the other browsers do things and causes all sorts of problems.

BTW for all our sites the best browser to use is firefox.

Yep, thats for almost all web designers. I am also a designer/developer but Chrome and Mozilla FF never inspired me at all. I think choosing Chrome and FF is a bad choice for web developers. If we just consider overall, we may get Chrome with high users. But if we take a simple survey, we will find that most of the users (Excluding experts/web devs) uses Chrome and FF for using FB, Youtube, etc.

If all web designers will choose to design and test with Chrome and FF then users of other browsers will suffer due to low quality design. I think for designers, best choice is to design and test with other browsers other then Chrome and FF. Choosing browsers like Opera, IE, Pale moon, Maxthon, etc are best for web designing. And later they can just test and support their designs with FF and chrome.
Whatever I am telling is true. Many users suffers due to the web designs which are designed only for Chrome and FF. I see many people asking on IE forums, opera support that they are suffering from the bad behavior of browsers because they are not loading web designes properly. And finally, they will blame Web Browser developers.

Anyways, just choice matters, IMO.

lol I find it difficult to keep up with 5 tabs :)

The way I browse it's just too easy to do.

For example, I log in here, open the threads in my CP and any that look interesting in the News & General sections (~10 tabs).
Additionally, I sometimes log in to SevenForums at the same time and open the same type of tabs there (now I'm up to ~20 tabs).

If you think that's bad, you don't want to see what happens when I go to TV Tropes.
Going there puts an end to any other activities I had planned for the rest of the day.

I've avoided updating to IE11 (in W7).

IE10 doesn't seem too bad, even though I only open it very rarely.
If I'm having Internet issues, I sometimes try opening an address in IE10, to check how it responds.

Sometimes I wonder if it is the hardware that cause issue with the browser. In a lot of browser this is checked by default "use hardware acceleration when available" I know I had issues on my windows xp when this was checked.

When I was trying the W8 betas there was an issue with FF that was caused by that setting.
