I use Chrome Access, an app that allows me to access things like extensions, network/DNS info, and the like with one easy click. Does FireFox have the ability to use apps? I haven't used it thoroughly.

Firefox has like ten million extensions

It's one of the things it's known for

Yeah, if I felt extensions and add-ons were completely necessary, I'd switch to Firefox in a heartbeat, no doubt. But I find most add-ons pointless and trivial, all I need is Adblock and I'm set.

I've been using Chrome, like most others.

I switched to Firefox temporarily since I thought Chrome let through a couple of viruses, but apparently that was just an MBAM false alarm. Firefox 4 was nice and very, uh... Chrome-like but it was a little funkier so I switched back.

Firefox and Opera are good in that you can move around the buttons anyplace you really want, while Chrome has more of a fixed UI. Opera was also the birth of speeddial (the same as Chrome new tab page), which I absolutely hate because it never gives me the right sites. I just use a personal page for new tabs, thanks to the magic of extensions.

IE9 has also become more Chrome like, and Microsoft finally realized that adding more random/useless buttons does not make users happy. However, I never use IE9 b/c of security concerns.

Oh, if you mouse over the site you go to a bunch and want to keep, you can toggle a thumbtack to make it stay there forever.
That's how I got all the correct sites in the correct order in my new tab page, it's laser fast.

Re: Which Internet Browser Do You Use?

I use the canary build of Chrome, which works extremely well 98% of the time and not at all the other 2%

I use Opera, with Chrome as an alternate for when Opera tries to kill me doesn't cooperate.

I saw this new browser being advertised on Mediafire which looked kinda cool, thinking of giving a shot because why not.

Hooray for successful advertising!
