  1. 1. What Browser?



Question

As a fellow web designer, I'm just wondering what everyone has installed on their PCs for testing purposes, and how do you go about doing it?

This isnt a flame poll either about which is the best, just a quick question I thought I would ask :)

I use all current (non-beta) browers (IE8, Firefox 3.x, Chrome, Safari, Opera) and for [if client requests] IE6/7 I'll just use spoon.

Wow, thanks for sharing that Spoon link, it seems to be a really good tool!

I like to play with beta's...So most of my browsers on my computers are beta's. But I do have current installs on the computers at work, so I can still use them all, without having to have a bunch of browsers on my computer lol

Though that Spoon thing is pretty cool...Thanks for that :)

I have Google Chrome, IE9 (which you can emulate IE8...), Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 4.0 beta whatever and Opera.

I refuse to install Safari. Apple always tries to install other crap.

Usually I choose one browser to start developing in (usually Chrome), and then once I get most of say, a template, done, I start looking in other browsers and go from there.

I use Firefox.

Chrome lacks useful add-ons and the bookmarks system is pathetic on the Mac version where the menubar is always shown despite Google's attempt to hide it with its own UI.

In Firefox, I can store my most popular sites in the bookmarks toolbar and the rest in the bookmarks menu which I can access whenever I'd like from the menubar.

Chrome Dev, IE9 Beta, FF Stable not that I ever use it anymore, and Safari but I almost never use it lol.

I develop in Chrome Dev, I have enough experience to know what works and what doesn't.. When I think I'm done I do a test on vm's and then I'm off to the races :)

Thankfully my company doesn't feel the need to support IE6. And unless asked to, I don't check Opera cause next to no one uses it, and it's literally not worth the time they would pay me.

IE 9 beta (My primary browser) Firefox 3.6 and chrome 7.

Also have IE tester installed so i can test IE 6 and 7 (also 8 but usually its the same as firefox when developing).

Only Opera. If a browser doesn't conform to standards, it's not worth the time to code for.

So you only code for Opera even though it has the lowest market share?

Isn't that sort of counter-productive?

Latest non-beta builds of FF, IE, Opera, Chrome and Safari.

IE6 and FF1.5 in a VM.

IE7 and FF2.0 in another VM.

I don't support the ones I have in VM's too much, I just like to make sure the sites are at least functional in them.
