Which Web Browser do you use?

Which web browser do you use and why?

After a number of responses I'm going to make another post in this thread that I think you will find interesting.

I use Firefox because my computer genius son told me to. No problems so far!

I think I have a hunch where this is going....and I'm very interested.

Depends on where I am.
At the house, I use primarily Google Chrome (there are things I have to access that only work with IE or Safari).

Chrome.

I liked Firefox, but Chrome is more streamlined along the top. Never tried Safari. Maybe one day??

Use both Firefox and Chrome, but Firefox is more predominate.

Chrome always.

Ok what I'm getting art here is how color is perceived on the web.

Here in this image if you should be able to see a slight color shift in browsers in the 3 different browsers I've used here.
Test this out yourself in different browsers at the link and look at the side by side.

This whole color thing has been driving me crazy lately because what images I see on my computer screen looks accurate and then looking at them online I can notice some color shift.

I'm using a high gamut NEC display that I religiously keep calibrated with my Color Calibration Colorimeter and software so I know my display is properly calibrated.

Can you see the difference in colors in the different browsers?

I use Firefox because the free add-ons are great. NoScript is fantastic and preventing viruses from even touching your system. The web developer add-ons like FireBug, FireFTP, and ColorZilla are invaluable for the web design things I've been doing lately. Granted, FireFox is a little larger on the back-end than say, Chrome, so loading times are a bit more, but honestly I love Firefox's security features and versatility. It really is a "build your own browser."

For certain reasons Firefox is the best browser not only for it's add-ons but if you want to have a tight color management workflow for images for the web and you use calibration software & tools you can customize Firefox color space to match your display.

I also like using Safari and really like the way bookmarks are handled so that you can preview the webpages.

Google Chrome, it's fast but I don't like having everything I do on the web stored in a database forever.

Internet Explorer, well I haven't used it in many moons...

Here's a screenshot of how color can shift when you upload it to the web.
Original pic is on the left.

I have no more color shift in my images!!!

I found an add-on for you Firefox users you will appreciate.
