Web Browser
Okay, I'm in a situation. I'm taking a web programming class, and the instructor was telling us specific web browsers to use, and he specifically stated that Internet Explorer is a no go for this class, because it works funny on programs.
Yes, I use IE. I have never had a problem with it. The layout is simple and there's not too much junk on the top or sides to bog me down. (For a while, I had a McAfee toolbar that wouldn't go away, but it's since been dealt with. For virus protection, I prefer Norton) I hear other people ranting and raving about it, but before now I've never had a reason to switch.
But if I want to write my home work for this class, I may need to change things around (or at least have a second web browser that I use in addition to IE, which will probably stay as my traditional browser). I have a couple of ideas, but I want BZPer's opinions, because I know you guys have had experience with different web browsers that I haven't.
So I'm looking at maybe three different ideas. There's Firefox, which I hear is popular for some reason. Another suggestion for the class was Google Chrome, which I'm leaning towards. I like Google... I even have the Google toolbar in IE, which is great for quick searches and spell checks. And another thing I have is Safari, which is apparently an Apple brand that somehow appeared on my computer when I downloaded iTunes (I can't use it right now because I need to update it, which is free but I don't want more Apple products on my laptop than necessary).
So anybody have any preferences? If you like a particular browser, tell me why. But please, don't go bashing other browsers... yes, I know you want to, I have seen you people dis everything from Apple to Microsoft to Piraka torsos, but I'll be removing overly negative comments.
So, please... positive opinions anybody?
