What browser are you using?

Internet Explorer 6 users have low IQs, study says

 

[Alan]

IE9 - probably means I have a low IQ for upgrading too soon.

 

[Purron]

8. Been waiting to updrade to 9. Like to give it a while first.

 

[FIREd]

Over the years, I have moved from IE to Firefox to Safari. My willingness to embrace change denotes a higher IQ according to this study. It is of course no surprise to me because this "scientific" study had already established my superior intelligence:

It is finally proven: Apple users are more intelligent than PC users | Intelligent Elite

Who is an Apple user? [...] Often working in creative and professional fields, these people tend to have higher-than-average intelligence.

Now on to solving the debt ceiling issue...

I'm on IE9, but it's a little buggier than IE8 was (hesitates refreshing screens), so Purron is probably the smart money here. Highest IQ is probably using the version just prior to the latest.

 

[Grandlakeokie]

Mozilla Firefox

 

[MasterBlaster]

Y do u thk That jst cuz we UZe Explore 6 I am Dum ?

Firefox for me. I have tried Chrome but like FF more.

 

[Tiger]

IE8. I've tried using Firefox a few times but always had some sort of trouble with it.

 

[samclem]

Now using Firefox, it's working great.

Re: Intelligence. Well, formerly I ran a browser I designed myself one weekend running on top of an OS I designed the week prior. Yes, super fast, never a bug, immune to viruses, hardware independent. No typing, it performed searches based on detected user thought patterns. But, I missed the camaraderie and fellowship that the shared Windoze "experience" brings to fellow sufferers, so I ditched all that.

A. Huxley never told us how lonely life as an Alpha might be . . .better to be among the masses.

Chrome exclusively, but used Firefox before Chrome. I did have an experience where I couldn't update firmware for a router in Chrome.

Whats with that?

 

[Rich_by_the_Bay]

Firefox for me. Almost flawless for past 8 years or so.

 

[MichaelB]

My primary browser is Firefox, but I use IE8 and Chrome as well for some news. Websites that erect paywalls, such as NYT, track usage by browser, so when my free use quota is filled with FF I just switch to IE, etc. There are still a couple of websites that need IE for full functionality.

My IQ must be really low. I don't even know which version i'm using or how to find out. I do use IE, just don't know which one. Tried Google Chrome and Firwfox but prefer IE.

 

[ls99]

FF 5.0. Had to look it up.

Not sure of IQ. Had a an Army GT score of 135 in 1967, whatever that means. Could barely speaka da English.

IE9 - probably means I have a low IQ for upgrading too soon.

My new Dell laptop came with IE9, and I have no issues with it so that is what I use at home as well.

When I am over at F.'s house, like right now, I use a POS spare computer of his that runs IE8.

 

[Dawg52]

Chrome. Seems faster to me.

Took over 30 minutes but I figured out i'm using IE 8. No plans to change.

 

[Nodak]

Firefox and sometimes Mozilla SeaMonkey

 

[Ronstar]

Safari

 

[Ed_The_Gypsy]

Mozilla Nightly (FF 8)

 

[bruce1]

For the most part firefox on linux. The idea of running one version back has merit unless there are obvious advantages.

 

[Walt34]

Firefox, occasionally IE9 because one will sometimes display a site better than the other.

No comment on the intelligence of the fruit users.

 

[grumpy]

I use Firefox. I don't run Windows so IE is definitely out. I run Firefox under the Fedora operating system (Linux based product from Red Hat). My son is a software engineer for Red Hat so he got me set up with it. Runs much faster than Windows with much less threat of viruses, spyware, etc. It has a decent user interface so it was not hard to adjust to.

Currently I am using Chrome (my favourite) except for the ER Forum and linking to the w*rk server. For those two things I use IE8. Why? Because I have found that when using Chrome on this site, clicking on thread titles or last post often comes up with a blank. W*ork server is set up only for IE.

If anyone has a solution for this problem with the ER Forum on Chrome, please let me know.
