I like IE 10, but it only runs on Windows and has no sync.

I like Firefox's independence, but its sync is too hard to setup. Plus, the Android version... Well, I don't like it.

Safari, I guess it's okay, but, like IE, lacks cross platform support.

Thus, I use Chrome. I'd like to get away from Google, but it gives me the most comprehensive sync across all platforms; Windows, Mac, Linux (Ubuntu), Android and iOS.

Retina MacBook Pro:

Safari Nightly

Windows 8 Desktop:

Firefox Aurora

I'm using my MacBook more often than my gaming machine, so I voted Safari

I must say though that Chrome Stable, Firefox Aurora and Opera are also installed on the Mac

On my main computers (win8 desktop and ubuntu laptop) i use firefox beta. On my slower work computer I use opera at the moment, but sometimes switch between opera and chrome.

What's so hard about setting up firefox sync? Not as quick as just signing into a google account in chrome, but I certainly don't think its prohibitively difficult, its only a few steps. I just emailed myself my recovery key so I can always access it to set up the sync. Firefox can also sync across every platform you mentioned, I have it syncd on my windows computers, my ubuntu laptop, my android tablet...

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
