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

shmerl: That's a long time ago. Firefox progressed quite a lot since then and often has better performance than Chrome.
Perhaps, but as I understand, many developers have overall quibbles with Firefox, even into the insanely high number days where apparently a minor feature calls for ripping off the number and plastering in a new one.
Maxthon
I seriously love the "drag and drop search" function. (highlight a word -> drag and drop it -> a new tab opens with a google search). Same with links, just drag and drop them. I can't live without these.
It also has many other good functions, for example "seperating" videos from webpages. It's much more comfortable to watch a youtube video when working, when the browser is minimised, and only the video is up in it's own window.
The downside is the lack of plugins, but I don't need them anyways.
chrome. i gave up using firefox esp if i'm looking to play web based game
Firefox on PC.
Safari on Mac OS.
I've been using Firefox for years, with the interface rearranged to my taste and 4 helpful addons installed: AdBlock Plus, Classic Toolbar Buttons, Classic Theme Restorer and Youtube High Definition. I also use a skin (Persona) to remove all Aero effects and keep a more classic style.

I only use Chrome and IE for web design testing.

Long time firefox user here. But now I'm curious to Pale Moon since tokisto mentioned it.

Pale Moon is a 64 bit implementation of Firefox. Other similar projects exist, such as Waterfox and Cyberfox. I'm not using any of them right now, Firefox will release a non-beta x64 build in a near future, so I'm still waiting... The 32 bit version does exactly what I want.... There's a tread on the Neowin.net forums about them.

Here are the projects websites:

Cyberfox: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyberfox/

Chrome.

realkman666: Looks like Chromium is on Windows, so I'll try that. Is Opera the only browser that doesn't close when you hold CTRL+W?
Ctrl-W does nothing in Firefox, which annoys me and makes it my backup browser. I use Chrome as primary, but the writing is on the wall for it, since the 64-bit version of Chrome only supports PepperFlash and no way no how am I going to use that.

Flash may be bad, but PepperFlash brings bad to a whole new level. It's the only thing that has managed to bluescreen my computer because its hardware acceleration fucked up.

So when I move to 64-bit browsers, I'll go Firefox as my primary.

It closes the tab, just like on most other browsers. If you are in a flash object though, it doesn't react. Try opening a new tab and pressing ctrl-w, it should close it.

Well, flash objects aren't a problem when I'm in Chrome, so that's going to be less annoying for me.
In theory, Firefox. Has been my browser of choice since I started surfing those Inter-waves, but as for a year now it behaves like shit. So I actually use chrome, both in Linux and Windows.
I would rather use the big F if it behaved nicely though.
