It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Opera and Firefox.

NickZah: Opera and Firefox.
This. Opera on the Win10 rig, Firefox on the Win7 rig.
Long history?

Internet explorer as first ever browser up until..

Then I discovered firefox in mid 00s

Early '10s or so whenever firefox had a bad slump I became a "chrome drone"

Went back to firefox in last days of using windows 7 on older laptop, wasted a good deal of time playing with plugins and themes

Got windows 10, bounced between firefox and edge on new laptop, nowadays I just use edge as its convienent

Odd all these years later the cycle ends at IE's reincarnation microsoft edge.

All these kids nowadays that will never experience the days of IE vs firefox.
Chrome, because Google already knows my porn browsing history.

So does everyone at the FBI.
Iron, Firefox and Edge. Now that Edge supports extensions, I may move to it exclusively, though I do need the "Open image in new tab" functionality that Iron (or Chromium in general) has.
This has been one interesting thread. I've never heard of most of these browsers. I thought it was just Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and those weird people who use Safari or Opera.
First was Internet Explorer but at some point he became slow browser with memory leaks. Tried Opera (slow and didn't liked its interface) and Chrome (very strong memory leaks). Stopped on Firefox and using its still on Linux and Windows.

My plugins:

1. Adblock plus
2. DownThemAll!
3. Flashgot
4. FriGate
I mainly use Chrome, because I like its layout and bookmark management better ; what I mean by that is that Firefox looks kind of cluttered to me, while Chrome has a simpler look, and also in Chrome (with the current/old bookmark system at least) browsing through my gazillion bookmarks and importing/exporting them is very easy, while in Firefox the bookmark interface is also cluttered and when one imports bookmarks they are put in a separate folder regardless of whether or not there were any bookmarks before and I have to drag-n-drop a lot to have them show where I wish.
I do have Firefox installed at the same time though, because of a couple add-ons that look pretty great and aren't available on Chrome afaik (e.g. DownThemAll, and the ones included in their recent Test Pilot program, mainly PageShot -it print-screens part of a browser page and MinVid -it shows videos in a separate little window), and it also can be more customizable in terms of appearance (via the Stylish extension and other total overhaul extensions), also because some pages don't render well in Chrome, as in their text for some reason doesn't show up at all -most recent example was the blog of System76.
The Ram consumption of both sucks pretty bad of course, so I don't open more than 4-5 tabs at once and use the OneTab extension to save other tabs for later viewing.
I also have Vivaldi installed, and like its customizability as well, but it's on par with Chrome on Ram consumption (given that it also uses WebKit) and its bookmark system isn't as practical as I'd like it to...
Opera and Firefox.
I prefer the interface of Opera but Firefox seems better for things like YouTube and Twitch.
I like using them both, so I use them for different things, I have a system.

I'm having serious trouble finding a browser that does what I'd want, so I've been mainly using FireFox, which is kinda close enough. As a backup I have Srware Iron and PaleMoon. I would love to use Dooble, but it's not quite ready for prime time from my experience. Midori is also cool, but it's had some trouble running on windows. Back in the day Opera was really dope, but they dropped the ball hard. I have yet to try Vivaldi, and would appreciate some reviews.
Firefox, and I'm fucking tired of how shitty and Google-copycat Mozilla has become. I'm hoping for a new fork though.
Pale moon but I'm probably going back to firefox. I also sometimes use Opera & chrome.
Chromium & Chrome at home. Chromium for everything except blocking Google cookies. Google for Gmail and YouTube, except allowing only Google cookies. (Don't ask, I'm paranoid, which is probably pointless since I use all kind of Google services and an Android phone. It gives me the illusion.)

At work is Firefox for goofing off (because closing it = delete all history and cookies) and Chrome for... actual works.

Maybe when Firefox come out with the new Quantum engine I will go back to using it full time, but right now loading webpages on Gecko are too slow compared to Webkit, I miss the Cookie Monster extension for Firefox, that's probably the killer feature of the browser for me (and the about:config). Also Firefox have all the extensions to download videos that Chromium/Chrome lacks or not as good.

I uninstalled Opera after they get bought by the Chinese (yes I know US govt spy too).
