Which browser

[GPSJane]

I use a Mac and I have been using Firefox as my browser. Unfortunately it has been causing problems loading websites and uses an incredible amount of memory. For some reason yesterday when I switched modems the browser insisted on defaulting to the old modem's interface directories, even after deleting everything with that IP address from history.

So I tried switching to Safari and then I remembered why I moved to Firefox in the first place. The interface is not as user-friendly; I have already closed several tabs by mistake because the cross is right where I click to open the tab. I can't move to tabs by using cmd-# (the number of the tab). And most annoying it adds "www." to the beginning of any IP address I type in before I can press enter! I just want to scream.

Anyone have a better suggestion?

Have you tried Google Chrome? Opera?

Firefox and chrome are the best imho,

I switch between them depending on what I am doing.

Chrome is better with memory than firefox as far as i know, it also uses a different process for every tab etc. so if one crashes the rest should be fine.

edt. Not sure what the difference are with browsers between a mac and windows pc.

Chrome.... or Opera. I have a soft spot for Opera

Chrome gets my vote

Same here: I have used Opera almost from their first version, and it's still my browser of choice.

I only switch to Chrome for certain sites.

Strangly never managed to get a liking for Firefox.


Can't believe nobody has mentioned IE yet (we might need a sarcasm sign).

Safari workes well on my Mac.

I'm also looking for a good browser. Not a mac in my case. Samsung Galaxy Tab2. I use Dolphin on my Galaxy3, but it doesn't handle as nice on the tab. It feels sluggish and clunky.
Chrome, Opera or Firefox?

Safari for me thank you very much. Chrome comes in second and I see no reason to have Firefox on my machine... ever. OP, I can't imagine a simpler interface than Safari (or Chrome) and I've never seen Safari add "www" to anything I type into the address bar.

Web Browser Grand Prix: Firefox 15, Safari 6, OS X Mountain Lion

On OS X, my preference is either Safari or Chrome, nothing else comes close.

Should be careful of using safari though since it's been discontinued, well the Windows one.
