I use Chrome, I don't care about extensions, I just like how big the internet looks on it.

On the Mac, it has the ultimate fullscreen mode - nothing but browser window. Kicks ass.

Firefox!

actually shift+cmd+F for fullscreen mode, at least for me...F11 causes all windows to hide.

google chrome muthafucka.

 

Easily the most streamlined, attractive, fast and stable browser I've used, on both windows and mac. Syncs all your cookies, history, bookmarks to any computer you install chrome on. great tab management. good extensions. google search built into the address bar.

 

How is that a feature. Just what you want at work, all your porn history coming up.

Incognito mode

 

@ ChenGod

it's a good feature because you have total control over what you sync. it's easy to go into incognito mode to hide the naughty shit you look at, and the history uses google search so its very easy to find what you want to delete manually. Also, the point of syncing all your settings is for convenience. It's great to bookmark sites at work and still have them boomarked when you get home. Firefox has a fine boomark sync extension, too, but chrome's is totally transparent and works very well, IMO. Saving cookies/login info is great if you frequently go to sites that require registration.

 

To be honest, if you're porning it up so freaking much, Chrome is good for you, because incognito mode is a very fast and easy way to literally go into "porn mode", to hide your activity without fucking with your existing history.

 

I already use private browsing on firefox. I would like to thank whoever made that one :)

I guess I don't bother much with syncing shit, because I don't use computers at work very much.

I still don't like how Safari refuses to display information on links when you mouse over.

cmd + /

Extra step that is unnecessary.

 

this step is faster than a Firefox tab switch though lol.

 

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. When I mouse over a link in firefox (that is hold the mouse cursor over a link) Firefox displays what site it links to, in the bottom left of the browser window. Since I have my javascript preferences set to not allow websites to change status bar text, this allows me an added measure of security. No tab switch necessary (also tab switches are very fast with mouse gestures...;))

i indeed misunderstood what you said.

Seems like you enjoy cruising the web in a comfy sedan, while i try to grind off any extra weight from my fixed-gear bike that is Safari.

hide/show status bar?

doh! well it should be on by default..lol

selfpwn.

lol phling - comfy sedan? fixed-fear bike? oh you're implying that firefox uses too much memory, gotcha. Again, with my paltry 2GB of RAM, Firefox uses up about 10%. The leakage was an issue before, but that's been fixed for a little while now.

I use safari for all my financial and school stuff though, because that way I can leave that browser's settings how I want them exactly for that.
