John P...what do you use?.......Larry

I'm with some other guys. I never EVER use IE8 unless I have to for compatibility purposes but other than that it's mainly Google Chrome or Firefox. Chrome has improved itself already from the beta. It used to not run some stuff but recently I haven't come across anything that it doesn't run. I'd say go for Chrome it does everything you'd want a browser to do for your run of the mill web activity. If you're doing more crazy things online, Firefox is your best option.

I have a sliding menu script that run perfectly on other browser, but on IE8 its slow as hell <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" /> At least it can work at 30%... its better than 5% or 0% (wich is the case of IE7) ahahhhah I prefer to develop for IE users in the first time since they have a huge % in the makert.... We cannot just ignore them and place a message on our sites saying : "Hey, your browser is a turd, do download Firefox". When it works with IE8, it will work mostly everywhere.

I have been using Firefox for the last 5 years and never looked back! They have great plugins for the browser also. IE= internet exploder <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /> -Jared

Firefox is pretty much the best you can get. Most web designers make their websites with that browser in mind actually, which makes sense since 70% of all internet users are using it.-Jeff
