SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What web browser do you use?

With a poll!

Myself, at the moment I'm using Opera, but will also use Firefox from time to time, and Safari on my iPhone.

Firefox unless the site for some reason totally chokes on it, in which case I can always fall back to the IE that came with Windows.

The Vista version has tabbed browsing, finally. It's so cute.

Internet Explorer. It's not what the cool kids use, but I've never had any trouble with it.

Firefox for preferance, but our web-apps at work choke at Firefox (they work, they just flash up about a dozen message boxes every page warning that the app is supposed to work with IE) so I use IE7 from work.

Firefox. I also use IE once in a while for certain sites that don't like FF.

Just today I stumbled across an article with some "hidden" options that you can tweak for Firefox to make it run a little quicker. They said FF is by default set up for dial-up, but there are a few adjustments you can make to optimize it for broadband. I don't know the how or why, but making the adjustments seems to improve my web browsing speed a noticeable amount.

Firefox, totally.

There's also IE, but unless it's a really important matter I'd rather decline a site than run IE. (It got once shot down really bad by a whole shitload of dialers, toolbars and other malware, and once is once too often. Never had similar problems with FF.)

FireFox with the IEtab addon so that I can view pages in IE if I need to without opening IE itself. :( and then I forget that I have it and open IE anyway because I use it such a small amount of the time.

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

Word up dawg.  I ditched IE the day I clicked the wrong site and got an instant malware assault that left me with literal hundreds of pieces of spyware on my computer within less than a minute.  

I ditched Firefox when every last patch seemed to make the resource leaks worse until the think took minutes at a time to load the simplest page and would slow down my entire machine if it ran longer than a couple of hours.  

FF 2.0 is a lot better about that now, but the page rendering is ugly, and I've learned that since I last used it, the malware fucks have learned how to write attacks for Firefox, so I only keep it around because Blogger's editor doesn't work right in Opera for some reason.
