I have been a constant Firefox fan for years, and didn't even look at other browsers. That was until yesterday, when a strange feeling came over me, and I thought I would see what the fuss was all about with the others.

I went through IE8, Opera, Safari and wasn't too impressed by any of them. Then I moved on to my Chrome test, and golly gosh... I was impressed! It looked nice, it does useful things, and displays in much the same way as FF, and I am yet to find fault 24 hours (and much browsing time) later!

So this led me to wonder, who uses which browser, and why? Have people tried the other browsers that are available? My poll covers the top 6 as you will see. If anyone wants to make a suggestion for an extra browser to be added let me know!

Maybe, we can start a revolution, and spread the browser wealth all around!

Look forward to seeing your answers!

Thanks for your input SysAid#1]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14509.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14509.page GMT
I originally used IE6 but quickly switched to Firefox as my main browser when I found out how fast and secure it was. A few months ago Firefox became very unstable on my machine, it would freeze for about 2 minutes and then it would let me do something for 10 seconds and then freeze again. I disabled all my plugins, upgraded, uninstalled and reinstalled and it still did it. I also noticed it uses a tonne of memory, about 500mb after a few minutes.

After a week of frustration I decided to switch browser. I Didn't really give Chrome a chance at first as I tried all the popular browsers. IE8 was far to slow for my liking and i really didn't like Safari or Opera. So I gave Google Chrome a whirl and I was very impressed. It was very fast, stable and easy to use. It took a little getting used to as it did certain things differently and it still isn'y perfect but IMHO it is the best browser currently available.

However, where I work and where Sysaid is deployed we use IE7/8. This is because it has the best compatibility with our systems but luckily this slowly is changing. I think I will be confident to recommend a switch to something else pretty soon, most probably Google Chrome ]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14513.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14513.page GMT
:-p M

EDIT!

I have just re-read the post from Haim that I thought he said Chrome wasn't supported, however now it seems it doesn't read like that! It definitely says that Safari and Opera aren't supported, but Chrome isn't so clear. Can someone from SysAid confirm?]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14514.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14514.page GMT

BJINS

SysAid currently support IE and firefox FULLY
Chrome's support is on the way, there can still be issues here and there but we do record them and try to fix them any time an issue is raised.

Opera and Safari and also on their way, but they are a bit behind Chrome.
we hope that in the next few releases we will be able to provide the maximum experience each browser can deliver]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14557.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14557.page GMT

Nit picking aside, prefer Fx as its always done what ive wanted with no hassles.
IE8 - Its MS - 'nuff said.
Opera and Safari - havent used in a long time, but neither really hit me as being any different from IE at the time
Chrome - I like the UI etc, but for some reason, on my work box it just runs like an absolute legless dog stuck under a truck wheel.
I'll have to fire it up on my home PC and see how it goes ]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14589.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14589.page GMT I can't believe my serious poll has been reduced to muttered arguments
*mutters inaudible offensive phrases towards Techguy and Haim... (Do you see what I did there people?) *

and

I am pleased to see how many people have heard good reviews of other browsers and are now looking to try and test other things!

XPD
I am interested by your comment on the speed of Chrome, I have never had a problem with the speed, in fact it is consistently quicker than Fx (is that correct? :-p ) as I have tried loading the same pages side by side. Seems strange to me. But I would definitely urge you to give it another go!

Happy browsing everyone!

We will use IE for other things, but only Chrome for SysAid. ]]> http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14647.page http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/preList/3191/14647.page GMT Who knows Maybe its an excuse to get a faster machine from the boss
