Anyone else have crappy browsers?

For a long time I've just dismissed this as pure coincidence. But recently I've pretty much concluded that in some way shape or form FF and Chrome depend on IE to work. A couple of years ago I started using Chrome all the time (After Opera became bogged down with junk) and I thought it was great, until it became frustrating trying to browse to pages, it would just sit there with it's patronising spinning icon doing absolutely nothing, and no matter how many times you refreshed the tab it wouldn't do a thing. Open IE, as soon as IE displays the page title, bang, Chrome magically loads the page. Fast forward to know, and I'm getting the same thing with both Firefox AND Chrome. Yesterday I browsed to a page and Firefox just say there, so after about 20 seconds I opened IE. Firefox loaded the page. :|

They all load at about the same speed, and I haven't had any hangs or crashes in the last few months. JM2B,

[Throws hand up!] ME ME ME ME ME ME I've given up on IE because of usability problems, Firefox because of speed and memory leak issues. Chrome is not an option, and Opera even less. So right now, I'm using the Chinese Maxthon browser. It has some nice features, but is not all that stable and interprets html strangely from time to time. I really don't know what to use anymore, and I don't know if I should laugh or cry either... :~

Oh! I had forgotten about the fox for months, it needed some food and air. Got it updated and removed some crap add-ons, it's fast as you said it starts in ~2 sec after a fresh reboot. :-D But Chrome still S _ _ _ s (Fill in the blanks)

This is pretty much why I stay clear of HTML development whenever possible. Twenty years in and it's still 1995.

I have complete control over everything that is installed on my work machine... :doh: I can use whichever browser, chat client, e-mail client, anti-virus, text editor, etc. that I want. Of course, the IT department has their standard ones that they install on new PCs for new employees, but they know that everyone has different preferences, so everyone gets local admin rights. :thumbsup:
