Beside the flash security issue in IE10, which is patched long ago by adobe itself , i´m not able to get familiar with that browser. For me there is no way arround Firefox. Best mixture of produktivity and styling i found so far.
well i dont know about all but I am using the download flash add on, adblock, noia theme, flash block. Thats all I use as add on. I found out that 64 bit palemoon use little bit less resources that 32 bit fire fox. Thats is my experience. and loads faster than firefox. But of course you can search the net about some people reviews about it. And you decide. Hmmmm, the reason why I switch to palemoon is because they have a 64 bit browser. There is also the water fox and nightly builds. I used water fox before but it uses more resources than palemoon. Of course some sites or most of sites they prefer the 32 bit browser cause mainly of flash or java but I was not a serious browser guy so it doesnt bother me. I wish chrome will make 64 bit browser. Oh they do, but only for linux....
Gee, I get the feeling you made those numbers up, dunno why - I will say that statcounter counts stats each day, and weekday IE use is hardly higher than weekend IE use, so I don't think work machines are that significant..IE10 has many html5, css, svg, etc. things in it that have not overcome the web, so how would I know what would happen if things were arbitrarily different. Can't comment on arbitrary alternate realities, all I know is IE10 is very good, in fact I dumped waterfox and palemoon for it, after trying those FF based browsers out for a few days, they lack the snappyness IE10 has in general (and a persistent issues of flash videos having no sound occasionally, etc.). But as always if you like add-ons, nothing beats FF, just don't care about add-ons personally.
I hate to admit that you were right about IE10 snappy. I do found out that IE10 is better than IE9 and 8 but I was never been IE fan. But I believe, if MS will just make IE open sourced, alot of users will switch to IE .... just my 2 cents thanks for duck duck go. I just read the privacy rules. and i just make it as my default search engine now
Personally I really like ie10, it is snappy, and for 99% of things I do on the net works just fine. The add-ons have always seemed lacking compared to FF. However as I have an older ati graphics card the hardware acceleration in FF causes it to crash until ati update their older drivers for win 8. I still miss natscape navigator browser
Unfortunately Netscape is a long dead browser, I was just reminiscing about when that was the number one browser lol. I do have doubts about how honest Google privacy policy really is, but in reality it probably is no different then any other company out there. They all really want to track us, to target advertising at us.
