I actually do use lynx a few times a week
I use to use it solely back in the 90s I had a 286 with a 2400bps modem (when 486s were new and 14.4 was king) I would telnet to my isp then use lynx to browse the Web

Now I mostly use it to download files when I'm sshd into servers

Safari (normal use on OS X)
IE (most work I do on Windows is in web apps that require IE)
Chrome (when I need flash on OS X and am not using an IE specific site at work)

I can't tell you the last time I installed Firefox for anything other than Firesheep.

opera for as long as i can remember

Chrome on my PC, Mac Book Pro, and iPhone.

Mr. Laz 09-30-2013 05:38 PM

Chrome - Daily use, fastest
Firefox - various plug-in,customization i use for certain websites/situations
IE - online purchasing stuff only (security settings on full lockdown and cleans everything every close)
Opera - pr0n only (complete enema each close)

also have these that i use occasionally to run stuff separately while using another browser:
comodo dragon
cool novo
slim browser

I notice that a lot of my customers that I have to remove viruses for use IE. They also have Windows XP.

Rausch 10-01-2013 06:24 PM

Mostly Safari.
When some sites or plugins get sketchy I go Firefox...

Since this isn't thread worthy, I'll dump it in here...

The latest Chrome update has added right-click image search. It's nifty.

Chrome because I get tired of Firefox telling me it's going to install a new version and that my plugins might not work for a while.

Somewhere along the line I lost the feature where if you type in a web address, then a space, then a syntax string, it will automatically search that website.

for example

imdb.com [space] Mad Men - would send me straight to the Mad Men imdb page.

Now it google searches and all the Mad Men pages [main, full cast and crew, episodes] are the first hits.

Just an extra click, but strange that it disappeared.

Anyone know what happened, or is it just me? Any info?

Not sure what the exact issue might be, but that's all controlled here:

chrome://settings/searchEngines

Instead of a space try a tab after typing imdb.com
