How many web browsers are on your computer?

[Virtualboxbuntu]

I'm a web developer part-time, so I need to test in lots of browsers. I also have some just because I feel like it. Here's what I have:

Linux Browsers:
Firefox 3
Opera 9
Epiphany
Songbird
Thunderbird (Thunderbrowse extension)

Windows Browsers (Wine):
Internet Explorer 6 (my websites work in everything except this)
Firefox 3
Safari 4

Windows Browsers (Crossover):
Crossover Chromium

[T2manner]

I just have Firefox on Ubuntu.

I think I have IE, Firefox, and Flock on Windows.

[FuturePilot]

Firefox and Epiphany.

[Grant A.]

Just Firefox and Internet Explorer. I don't see much point in multiple web browsers unless there is some feature that I must have that is in the other, but the new one sucks at normal stuff.

Note: I only have Internet Explorer because it's tied into Windows. :-#

IE8 does interest me, though.

[RichardLinx]

Firefox and Opera.

[klange]

Hm. That's a toughy. On this netbook, I have the remnants of "A Browser" (which Dell ships by default), as well as my standard Firefox 3.1 'Shiretoko'. I also have elinks.

My other laptop has a bunch - a broken WebKit test that scores 100/100 on Acid3, Firefox 3.1, Firefox 3.0, lynx, elinks, and maybe more.

My PDA has IE Mobile, Opera (admittedly, it's a hacked Opera, but I feel justified) and Minimo (which... just does not work well).

My desktop has just FF 3 and FF 3.1, my server still has Firefox on it somewhere, as well as Lynx.

@OP: Stop using IE6, even if it's for testing compatibility. IE6 users are being taken into back alleys and brutally murdered, metaphorically speaking of course. Upgrade your compatibility testing to IE7!

[swoll1980]

firefox, and I just learned about the command line one w3m that comes with the default install of Ubuntu. Comes in handy if you mess up your gui and need some advice

[chucky chuckaluck]

firefox and elinks.

[cardinals_fan]

Links (-g), Firefox, Midori, Opera.

[Rokurosv]

Hmmmm
On Linux:
Firefox
Midori
Epiphany

On Windows:
Firefox
Chrome
Safari
IE 7

[swoll1980]

IE8 does interest me, though.

IE8 is a nightmare, uses twice as much resources as 7 did.

[RiceMonster]

Linux:
Firefox

Windows:
IE7
Firefox

I had Opera and Chrome on Windows for a bit to give them a try, but nothing seems as good as firefox.

[Virtualboxbuntu]

@OP: Stop using IE6, even if it's for testing compatibility. IE6 users are being taken into back alleys and brutally murdered, metaphorically speaking of course. Upgrade your compatibility testing to IE7!

Yes, I'd like to, if it would work. I'll try it again. If it doesn't, there's always Browsershots.org...

[smartboyathome]

Hm... here on my Linux install (Windows is too obvious ;)):
Opera
Firefox
Midori
cxChromium
elinks
lynx
links

A lot, huh? :P

EDIT: Songbird as well. :)

[namegame]

Only 2.

Firefox
Links for when X fails for whatever reason.

[Virtualboxbuntu]

Hm... here on my Linux install (Windows is too obvious ;)):
Opera
Firefox
Midori
cxChromium
elinks
lynx
links

A lot, huh? :P

Ah, you reminded me of Flock and lynx, which are also on my system.

I installed IE 1. IE 1 is the biggest piece of **** I've ever seen.

[smartboyathome]

Ah, you reminded me of Flock and lynx, which are also on my system.

I never got the idea of Flock, thus I never really used it.

[Lunx]

Opera (my main choice) and Firefox ('coz it came with Ubuntu). Before coming to Linux I used the two above plus IE7. I also mess about with a bit of basic web design and used to check things out in each browser, but these days I don't bother quite so much, I just go with Opera 'coz I've found if my pages play nicely there, they work well on most (all?) other browsers.

[Virtualboxbuntu]

You would think so but it isn't so. IE does a pretty bad job on a lot of stuff - making something stay in the center is quite difficult.

[Muffinabus]

Under Ubuntu I have Firefox. Windows has IE (no clue what version, can't remember the last time I've used it), Firefox, and Chrome.

[shadowdude1794]

I don't worry too much about IE as so far the site I'm creating is only on my machine, still need to polish it and knock off a few rough edges before I inflict it on the rest of the world. Perhaps I'm being a little stubborn, obtuse, or both, but I figure if MS with all their $$$ can't design a browser to be standards compliant, then why should I go out of my way to tweak things to suit them. I used to get fed up visiting sites only to be told I need IE to view it. No I don't, I'll just go somewhere else to find what I'm after. Must admit this doen't happen very often now, I think designers have woken up to realise that whilst Windows may be all pervasive, web browsers aren't.

[MikeTheC]

PC - Linux:
1. Firefox

On Vista I use:

Firefox 3.2 alpha
Firefox 3.1b2
Opera 9.63
Google Chrome

(I still have IE and IE64 installed but I never use them)

[Twitch6000]

I use FireFox 3.1 beta 2

I have been using Opera alot lately and have found when it comes to making a website opera is alot easier to get along with....

[adamlau]

1.Opera
2. Firefox

[Orlsend]

*And I think I used once or twice IE on it.

[scouser73]

Just Firefox.

[Virtualboxbuntu]

Firefox is definitely my favorite... IE 6 seems to be identical to IE 7 when using IEs4Linux, but I suppose something is different...

[id1337x]

I use Firefox 3.0 for everything. I have a personal project to bootstrap the JavaScript core so that my JavaScript code that is designed for Firefox does not need changes for Idiot Exploiter.

[Quillz]

I just use Safari 4 on all my Macintosh computers, IE8 on all my Windows computers and Firefox 3 on all my Linux computers.

[RedSquirrel]

Firefox 3.0.6

No need, with Opera, chrome/apple, firefox, internet explorer you have 99,9% of the market and all big render engines that are uses by browsers. If it works in those browser it will work on almost any browser.

[ubuntu27]

On my Windows partition I have:

Internet Explorer 6 - I NEVER use it.(can't we delete those in Win Vista?)

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x



On my Ubuntu 8.10:

Arch - only Firefox
Win XP - IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome (Chromium dev builds), with Firefox being the default one, Safari & Chrome just for testing

Native (Kubuntu) - FF, Op, Konq, Amaya, w3m, links, lynx.

Virtualised (virtualbox) - FF2, FF3, Op, IE4 to IE8beta, Chrome, Safari3, Safari 4 beta.

WINE - Safari 4 beta (here's how) (http://alicious.com/2009/safari-4-on-linux-with-wine-update/)

Think that's all. Can you tell I'm a web designer.

[will1911a1]

[jimmyhacker]

I have Firefox and Opera

I use Opera for fast bowsing and firefox for flash.If i had good flash performance in Opera,i had to remove Firefox

[grinias]

Only firefox in Kubuntu (kde 4.2). I think kde 4 team should cancel konqueror maintance and try to improve firefox intergration...Just a personal opinion of course.

[Virtualboxbuntu]

Only firefox in Kubuntu (kde 4.2). I think kde 4 team should cancel konqueror maintance and try to improve firefox intergration...Just a personal opinion of course.

While it's nearly unquestionable that Konqueror will always be better integrated with KDE than Firefox, I agree that Firefox has way more features (just think of addons).

You know, when you think about it, Firefox isn't perfectly integrated in GNOME either. Think about Global Menu.

[bhishan]

Just Firefox, and happy.:)

[S0m3th1ngw13rd]

Overall, I prefer FireFox and Chrome the best. Chrome would be my favorite, if it had all the extensions FireFox has.

[nelskurian]

Only firreee...Fox...Why we need internet explorer if a less sparmy faast browser like firefox available..

How did you uninstall IE from *******. IIRC it's impossible (and the option in the "Windows Components" section of the add/remove programs doesn't remove IE, it merely removes the shortcuts to it, but it's still there).

[jcris]

Firefox and Dillo, I only use dillo as a fast captcha code browser for zinc.

This reply was typed up using xlinks2 :)
