Browser Jumping
If you asked me right now, Hey Chris, what’s your favorite browser? I wouldn’t know what to tell you! I’ve been a Firefox user primarily over the past few years, but over the last several months my allegiance is no longer to any one browser. I’m a browser jumper. I feel like it’s only fairly recently that the tools are finally there that I can do that without too much trouble.
Firefox, Chrome, & Safari
When I say I’m a browser jumper, I really only mean those three. I’d love for Opera to join the party. It’s nice and fast. Its Dragonfly developer tool is fully capable, but it doesn’t support two of my crutch tools: XMarks and 1Password. When that day comes, I’ll switch to it at least for a while. I feel like for obvious reasons I don’t use Internet Explorer. It’s just not as good of a browser and I’m not willing to use it other than for testing. Not to mention, I’m on a Mac. Although I do test on it, using VMWare Fusion and a bunch of “Snapshots” where I keep Windows XP and Vista in different states of having native versions of IE 6/7/8/9.
