Internet Browser ????

[pcuser42]

Firefox and Chrome use completely different engines, so neither is based on the other...

Used FF extensively with addons/scripts, greasemonkey. But like the relative simplicity of Chrome so use that more now. Also getting back to using text based browsers (Lynx, Labnol), mainly to "SEO analyse" websites, based on what crawlers/bots would see how well a site is optimised. Google have recommended text browsers for such analysis.

I've never used to care about which browser is better or whatever. I've always just used internet explorer. It comes pre-installed and it works just fine and I've never seen the point of duplicating functions.
I switched to FF purely because of add blocking addons and I blame that on websites not browsers, I find it easier to use addblock for FF than try to block adds in IE.

Personally I hate firefox and all its addons and the buggy chrome & use IE for most of my browsing. No doubt there are some MS haters out there who will dis anything with the MS logo but I still prefer the latest versions of IE. You can almost guarantee the new browser MS are developing will be faster and more secure than the oppositions products.

What makes you say that?
IE has been buggy and had security problems ever since it came out.
Its so good that even though it comes pre-installed on most machines only 20% of the people on here (experts?) voted for it.

More likely chrome is based on Firefox than the other way around since Firefox has been around for ever
