The best browser?

[Elpants]

Opera was also the first browser to pass the Acid3 test with 100/100.

But someone above did say it has problems with Paypal and such.

[DONT_CALL_ME_A_VORT]

Firefox and Chrome are win but Firefox works better on Linux so yeah…

[Ramirezoid]

I use paypal frequently with Opera, and have encountered zero problems.

[NavMan]

Firefox + adblock plus = win.

Being a web designer myself, I hate IE8. And it’s not a matter of preference, this is IE8’s result on acid3:

Firefox doesn’t get 100/100 either. Chrome and Safari do. Haven’t tested Opera (or can’t remember I did).

I don’t like how I get 94 points in Firefox and 100 in Chrome.

But at least Steam went with the better browser development kit for the beta UI, which means we get proper javascript in the overlay for once.

I get 100 points in Iron, which is basically chrome but more secure.

Never seen that before, interesting test though. Doesn’t really effect me as I don’t write my own js, and minimal need for the other areas of the test - DOM and CSS3 right? We have a programmer for all that fun stuff

From my experience IE8 renders web page layouts as accurately as Safari (with the odd glitch but nothing I can’t fix) and is secure enough that I don’t feel the need to educate anyone I find using it, which is a step up from 6 and 7 IMHO.

Firefox, can’t beat those addons

Opera.

All I know is that I’m always having to do ‘workarounds’ to get my sites working on IE.

[mental2k]

Is JS actually used that much these days? IE9 FTW HTML5! <----- Too many TLAs IMO

I’ve got it to a point where IE8 is fine 99% of the time without work arounds, IE7 around 90% and IE6 always has issues but I know how to fix most of them by now without even needing to check.

So it’s annoying, but not the end of the world. But as I say, I only do the xhtml/css. Anything else is someone elses job

ive had trouble with things as simple as flash banners, where the text within the swf was a lot bigger than what it should’ve been when opening the page through IE.

Firefox from far

My IE fails even more than that, all of the boxes overlap each other and the page does not even load properly.

Used to use Opera, a fine browser. But I moved to Chrome when it came out, I can say it’s come leaps and bounds, and has my fave features from Opera in it now.

atm I use Chrome with AdBlock+ and mouse gestures.
