What browsers are you guys using currently?

I'm curious after the IE problems of late, the emergence of IE, Safari being shipped in the growing Apple market, and the development of more obscure browsers with specialties such as Opera, or Chrome.

my hidden nugget head of tech support suggestion of the day:

1-never use IE... I'm sure you already know that

2-try Flock. It is the Firefox engine, but it has several advantages.

I have to run Firefox, Safari, IE, Chrome, Flock, and Opera at work. I have really grown fond of flock. Firefox is the ol' stand by, Opera is slow and funky, Safari looks bad to me, and Chrome I don't trust or like.

Hey kno... I believe a long time ago you were talking about how to block all the adds on RealGm? Is that still working for you? What did you do?

Doc-

Seriously, no, to me IE isn't even ok. It horrifies me how vulnerable it makes you. Due to last weeks security breach of IE you have a 64 percent chance of already having a hijacker working on your computer. Scary browser, I really don't condone it to anyone for anything.


Hmm maybe I'll try add-block. The only think I know about it is that is can screw up cookies and kernals and messes up subscription movie sites.

Sed if you are currently running it can look at one of the movies in black here and tell me if it still plays for you?: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=714

DD, I use Firefox. There's some sort of add-on for it that blocks all ads (I think it's called "Ad Block" but I dunno how to check because im compooter stoopid). So yeah, I see absolutely no ads on RealGM.

Edit: Figured out how to check on the addons, its called Adblock Plus.

Hey there. How you doin?

Finally taught the wolf how to close doors... Now to motivate him to do it even when I don't have a treat handy or i'm not around. I'm sick of the critters always coming in. I need a dog door I guess. This year alone:

4 scorpions
2 camel spiders
more than 10 black widows
rats
mice
1 snake
and countless mosquitoes moths and flying creepies.

Yeah girls pretty much dig all of those things, so you know my girlfriend hangs out alot.....

actually we've been seeing Safari issues lately too. I'm guessing there will be an update they release soon due to the audio/visual drops.
