Browser?

I use IE, thinking of going to google chrome. I honestly have no problem with IE I dont see what the big fuss is about how IE sucks.

Read Tye's explanation. Just because you have no visual problems doesn't mean you shouldn't switch. The main one is that IE is VERY insecure.
 
Guys any browser is insecure. Also one function I hate about IE is that there isn't a spell checker.

Fun fact: Safari 5 is the first browser to be purged of one of the web's longest-running privacy defects: The ability for any site owner to effortlessly steal a complete copy of your recent browsing history.

So if Jeremy wanted to see the pr0n I've been looking at recently, he could just... :veryhappy:

IE, it has never failed on me, never crashed on me, so I'm happy.
And I can't be bothered to install new web browsers if I've already got a working one, so no, you can't persuade me to get a different browser.
Hell, no, I've betrayed myself, I've got Opera now, well my Brother has it's his laptop, but when I get my own laptop I'll either use:
Firefox
Opera or
Chrome.
 
Firefox also has an "inspect element" with the FireBug add-on. /shrug
I'm a Firefox user because I've always had problems with IE and Firefox was the go-to at the time... and now I'm just happy with what I have. My husband suggested I switch to Chrome, but I just did not enjoy its layout so I'll probably just stick with Firefox here as long as it works for me.

chrome sucks, bad. I'm using it. ironically, this came up while trying to post a reply...
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>lolchrome</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">

</div>
and it happens to me at least 100 times every hour. its solved by hitting f5, but damn, you'd think it would... y'know... show the internet, being a web browser.

also, on huge pages, I can't see half the images Q.Q

using chrome, but my heart's with firefox v.2 <3

to TheDoctor:
I would really recommend using FireFox or Chrome, even Safari, instead of Internet Explorer. I've never used it first hand (except at a friend's house, and even then I used it to install FireFox, and likewise for my own comp :p) but I'm sure that the added features and, from what I've heard (if that's to be believed), security, are much better than IE. On top of that, you can personalize pretty much any third party browser with skins and stuff from their own site, make your own if you have the know-how, etc.

tl;dr, STEP YO GAME UP.

I use Chrome constantly on my Windows computers and I've not once had that issue O.o It sounds like a problem with your internet and not the browser.

Odd.. Maybe you have a firewall of some sort blocking Chrome and therefore interfering with the internet connection.

MY Chrome has NEVER done that.
It's your crappy PC.
 
i think/am assuming it has something to do with chrome calling a link broken if it doesn't connect to it within a certain amount of time, but I'm no xpertt on the subject.

isn't firewall/etc related, I'm fairly certain.

crappy pc made me lol

processor/computer is... year and a half old now? but it's never had problems with firefox.

Open IE and on the menu: Tools -> Internet Options
Hit the Connections tab, then hit the LAN Settings button and UNCHECK
"Use a proxy server for your LAN", then OK both windows.
refresh the browser and Chrome should work.
