Also say whether or not the site looks extremely broken. Using IE7 and a 1024x768 monitor today made me want to barf.

I noticed a small difference in some of the text between browsers, but anything looks horrible in 1024x768 resolution.

I should enable polls that let you pick more than one option, since I use all of those browsers to some degree except Safari.

The site looked fine in IE8 when I tested it at work. I'm not putting in any effort to make things look right in IE7 or IE6. IE9 is going to be released soon. People need to get with the times.

I mostly use Firefox at home, but I am forced to use IE at work (at least it is IE8 and not 6/7, but that's beside the point). Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against IE8 (I know many here probably do, with good reason), but I hate being forced to use it. I will stop there, because I could go on about it all day.

Firefox appears to be dominating the poll, but as soon as people's IE starts working properly, I'm sure the tides will change to favor IE.

I only use chrome because it is the best browser for laptops plus it looks cool and is simple

Jan 05, 2010 09:36 PM PST

currently, i am using Safari :(

I usually use Firefox, but right now I'm using Internet Explorer on someone else's computer. The website looks terrible on it.

Firefox pwns.

Jan 06, 2010 05:11 PM PST

I was using Fire Fox but it and my computer didn't agree so now I use Chrome

Jan 06, 2010 06:43 PM PST

I use Chrome, it is simple, easy to use, and looks cool.

Jan 07, 2010 05:28 PM PST

i use chrome for games and junk cuz they dont work that well on ie, and ie for ffclassic and all that other stupid stuff

Jan 09, 2010 03:49 PM PST

I usually use Firefox, but Chrome is a close second (it looks better, but seems to have less options)

Jan 09, 2010 11:32 PM PST

Yeah, letting people choose more than one would've been nice.

I fixed the question. Sorry I wasn't more clear earlier. And I don't think Brian has included the option to make multiple-choice polls.

Jan 11, 2010 08:25 PM PST

Holly crap, im the only one so far 2 vote opera

Jan 15, 2010 07:47 PM PST

Usually at home it's Safari but I view the site most often from work and work is Internet Explorer :-(

Jan 19, 2010 05:02 PM PST

I'm an Opera man. And this is my son, H.W. (imagine Daniel Day Lewis's "There Will Be Blood" voice)

IE makes this site look like... uh... just really bad.

Jan 21, 2010 11:03 PM PST

Chrome. It's sexy and reliable.

Jan 22, 2010 03:23 PM PST

i a gree with jesus. so sexy.

Jan 23, 2010 10:26 PM PST

YAY 2 FOR OPERA!

Jan 28, 2010 12:45 PM PST

Haha, thanks!

Just to let everyone know: I am school using an older version of IE (pre-tabbed browsing), and it makes this site look like crap. Brian's and Nicole's stars around their names are now unsightly squares of whiteness.

Jan 30, 2010 12:39 PM PST

IE yay

Feb 10, 2010 08:03 AM PST

Firefox 3.5.7

Everything looks shibby.

Feb 11, 2010 11:42 PM PST

Hmmm...

I've switched to chrome

Feb 14, 2010 11:40 AM PST

I too have switched to Chrome. It looks exactly the same as when I used IE...

Mar 03, 2010 05:32 PM PST

i dont see wht the big deal is, why use i different browser? their all the same...

some just look prettier, thats all!

I'm a web developer, so I have my FF tricked out with all sorts of add-ons for debugging pages.

For casual browsing, Chrome all the way. Aside from the occasional bug, it seems to use less memory than IE8, Opera or Safari (and a ton less than FF).
