I love reading about all these folk who have issues with Firefox crashing. Trust me it's your system, not Firefox.

Use Malwarebytes and Spybot to clean out the 5h1t, and stop blaming Firefox.

i use firefox btw, it never crashes, ever, and is awesome

If it were up to me, web code would work the same on every browser.
And since Opera and Firefox are standards (w3c) compliant, and Internet Explorer is not, I would like you all to boycott IE until they clean up their act.

ie8.

There are really other browsers?

I use Internet Explorer 8 at home and Firefox at work (IE is banned at work by the nerdy technicians). I've developed a hatred for Firefox because of them at work (especially in my last job) because of their endless anti-IE (and Microsoft) preaching that. I can't stand to use it at home any more so it's IE all the way now.

I use Safari the most.

Chrome. I'm building a website and Chrome has excellent JavaScript and CSS debugging tools that far outdo the alternatives offered by the other browsers, so it's really useful. The timeline lets me know how fast content is loading, too, so I can optimise everything
Then again, since I've got to check that my content displays properly across browsers, I'm technically using all of them - Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and Firefox are all sitting on my RocketDock.

Firefox, Opera, and Chrome users are the "activists" of the browsing community. Small in number, tremendous in disdain for those that don't see things their way. Boycott IE? Please...

Just use what suits you, your browsing habits, and your system's capabilities - and call it a day.

Nah seriously, I just hate Microsoft. When I'm not pirating their software, I'm boycotting it.

Not all of us. I'm a Chrome user but have no particular issue with IE. Unless you're still on IE6, in which case from a web design standpoint I'm legally allowed to despise you. The sheer amount of work-arounds you have to do to make CSS work properly in that (most of which don't actually make sense, like adding 'zoom: 1;' fixes several things even though technically it does absolutely nothing) is mind-blowing.
But I've no real problem with the later Internet Explorers.

Yes. Microsoft's historical refusal to make IE standards-compliant has been one of the biggest factors holding back the web. They've been forced to slowly change their ways, however; IE8 isn't perfect, but it's far closer to standards than any previous version. It's still best to avoid it entirely, however.

None of the browsers are completely standards-compliant - they all use slightly different default margin settings, paragraph spacing, different scales for increasing the default font size, etc. It's still often necessary to use a 'CSS Reset' file that undoes all their differences before starting your own code to ensure your sight site (edit: wow, spelling fail) appears the same in all browsers. And even then there can be slight differences in appearance.

@Raylax

True, but the differences are quite subtle, and require only minor and minute adjustments when moving between the other major browsers, but IE has historically been such a pain to deal with that you still see new sites having to include an IE-only conditional stylesheet (or multiple, for different IE versions) full of countless fixes for even the most basic aspects of alignment. No such thing is needed when dealing with the others; you can learn to avoid the rare differences with ease. It's a waste of developer time unlike any other.

See, 'Chu? This is why you all need to "conform" and just use IE.

I can't help but laugh about this stuff, really. It's a b r o w s e r, people. Just use whichever one gives you the least trouble for your browsing habits. Browse and let browse, I say.

@warioswoods: Yeah, true enough. But most of the problems are specifically with IE6, they have at least gotten better in later browsers. It's still kinda awkward to develop for, but from a user standpoint it's a decent enough browser.
