For what I spend my time doing online, I'll admit that web browser differentiation is simply too nuanced for me to notice and/or care about in most cases. As a result, I tend to use whatever is on a machine to begin with. Right now, that's Safari. If I leave the office and go crash on the couch with my media PC, it's IE.

If I did a lot of web development or frequented sites that tended to be on the bleeding edges of emerging web standards, perhaps I'd care more. :-/

The idea of a separate searchbox is simple enough - you can search when you want to search, and the URL bar is for typing URLs in. I also prefer having a dropdown list of addable searches to having to find the correct one then press tab to select it. I have also noticed a few strange things in chrome's search functionality, such as that some torrent trackers will not be selected by automplete for some reason (conspiracy? ) so it's an extra keypress to tab to them to search them. This only ever seems to happen for torrent trackers.

Cospiracy indeed. lol. I once mistyped tpb and Chrome suggested "Did you mean theepiratebay.org". It led to a pishing site that looked exactly like real tpb.

Then, for no reason I searched google for "theepiratebay.org". Now the google said: "Did you mean the pitatebay.org"

WTF???? If I typosearched for anything else, Google would have suggested the page I wanted to search. But no, when i type theepirate it must mean thepitate

Safari is nice and clean and works very well. I like it also. I only wish its support for animated GIFs was better--misstammie's signature constitutes a DoS attack on Safari! More than two animated GIFs on the screen and Safari becomes a total dog, even on the zippiest hardware. Of course, that's why I never visit the Pictures of Jake thread...

I use Netscape Communicator. Because it's the best. And I've Netscape since used it since windows 95. Originally I had Netscape Navigator.

It seems like everybody is moving forward. As if there is some final goal they can achieve and get to. I don't get it though. When I look around, it seems like I'm already there, and there is nothing left to do.

I wish I could take just one hour of what I experience out in nature, wrap it in a box, put a bow on it, and start handing out to people

Firefox 6. It's fast, it does HTML5, it has extensions. What more could you want?

Firefox 3, because addons actually work with it, unlike later ones, and because mozilla always insist on breaking things and adding pointless crap to new releases, so it's sensible to wait for options to revert the pointless crap and fix the bugs to come along first.
FF3 is also far less fugly, and has tabs in the right place and a proper menu bar

It was finally killed off a few years ago, if I remember correctly.

Also, I've since had a play with Ff5 and managed to get it almost-decent looking, and got addons back onto it thanks to downloading the package, hacking their config file's maxVersion to 9001 - works with no problems

Ff5 is buggy though, when I downloaded it, the fonts were so blurry as to be unreadable, and it took a config window hack to fix that.
