Full results and this week’s poll after the jump.
Thank you again for the great feedback you gave us regarding our new system!
This week’s poll question is: How Many Browsers Do You Have Installed On Your Computer?
The days of having only one browser are mostly over. As the number of available options grow, so does the number of browsers we install and try. Some people install every available browser, including underdogs such as RockMelt and Maxthon, and others are just fine with one major browser for all their needs. It’s time to count! How many browsers are installed on your computer?
Best Browsers For Mac 10.7.5
How Many Browsers Do You Have Installed On Your Computer?
Be sure to tell us in the comments which browsers you have installed, and whether you actually use all your installed browsers or simply keep them around just in case.
- I've installed all channels of Chrome, Firefox (including the ESR), Opera, and Brave and one copy each of Vivaldi, Yandex, and Waterfox (not to mention IE and Edge that come preinstalled), that takes tally to 21 browsers.
- For me, it was enough to have one browser: chrome to these days. But writing my thesis makes me have some webpages/tabs open and I don't want to close them!
Besides this, usually I just only want to check my email or something else and that's why I love to have another browser. Now I'm trying Firefox and Opera and still don't decide which to keep as an alternative browser. Both are awesome! - i have an iMac that has his own browser pre installed and i have google chrome as second browser.
- I use Firefox and I have Safari around just in case. I was just reading as I was Googling around that people are saying that Firefox isn't good with Macs. Hmm. Maybe I should use my Safari instead?? Ever since I installed Photoshop Elements 10 the other day, it's been really slow.
- Only stock IE 8(unused) and for primary use, Firefox. I don't like Chrome at all.
- explorer
chrome
firefox
maxthon3 - Priority
1 Chrome
2 Firefox
3 IE just to download other browsers - Mainly: Firefox (my main one. I love the Adblock and download helper); Chrome (takes up to much space, slows down my computer, but still use it to log on to my other good account); Internet Explorer (never use)
- Technically 3: Firefox (main), Chrome (weird pages that don't load in FF), and Lynx.. that's why I said 'technically.'
- 1. Opera (primary)
2. Firefox (backup / occasional primary)
3. Chrome (for a second account)
4. IE (Only when some application starts it off for some reason)X. Safari - Installed it. was pretty. then didn't end up liking it much. deleted it. - I use Opera, Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. I use Opera for general browsing; seems faster. Right now my default browser is Chrome. Got to have reopen closed tabs option. Opera doesn't. I got too many extensions installed on Firefox net trim it down.
- technically, i have two, because IE can't be uninstalled, just disabled. but Chrome is the only one that meets my speed needs.
- I use IE9 as my primary but I also have Firefox, Opera, and Safari on the system for testing purposes. I will NEVER install Chrome due to trust issues with Google and all of the crap that they scatter around the system along with what appeared to be at one time in the past to be backchannel data collection and I won't even test under it. Have downloaded but not installed Pale Moon and Waterfox. Hope to look at them soon. Have also been considering trying out Chromium but just haven't gotten around to it.
- If Internet Explorer weren't so difficult to get rid of, I bet most people's answer would be one fewer. As for me: 1) Chrome, for speed and general browsing. 2) Firefox, for some extensions I don't have on Chrome and for sites Chrome doesn't display correctly for whatever reason. 3) Internet Explorer, because it's a hassle to remove. 4) Safari, just for testing things I'm working on for compatibility. 5) Lynx, for when I need to do some simple research and not be distracted.
- Pale Moon (Firefox-based) is a good general browser, and I use it most of the time, but I like Chrome for the ease of securing it, and use it for my online banking.
- How can you have no browsers if you were participating in this poll?
- You could be replying from your tablet/phone?
- Um.. That would be considered a browser.
- In that case, that would be true, but if you consider all of your devices, it would be impossible to answer this poll without a friend helping you out (borrowing his device, etc).
- 1.Opera: Offers what I want most in a browser.
2.Konqueror: Offers just about everything imaginable at only half the resources of Opera. Open Source. HIGHLY configurable like all KDE software. - ahahha im suprised no1 said no answered '0 browsers'
- firefox,because my VPN is optimized for it
Opera - which I downloaded to use with TOR,though hardly use TOR now I have the VPN
safari, because my wife won't use anything else and if I ask her to explain one more time I think she might actually punch me. - 1. Firefox Nightly UX
2. Safari
3. Chrome dev (solely for watching flash videos as I don't install Flash on my mac). - 1. Firefox, 2. Google Chrome. 3. Seamonkey, 4. Safari and 5. IE
- Firefox
Chrome
IE (Rarely) - 1. Pale Moon x64 (My freshly installed, now primary browser)
2. Firefox
3. Opera
4. Chromium
5. IE (for website testing)
6. Opera Mobile Emulator (for website testing)Just uninstalled Waterfox and Chrome. The latter ought to have a malware/spyware label for being nearly impossible to uninstall.Try for yourself to get rid of Google Update. Had to use a cmd prompt to delete both Google Update services, Search Everything to find Google folders and files scattered in several places, and even after deleting the services and killing Google Updater i the process manager, I still had to use Unlocker to be able to delete the folder in my Program Files (it could not delete after being unlocked, had to delete on reboot).Funny that Google Update goes to so much trouble to stay in your pc, even after all Google software has been deleted, huh? - 1. Firefox 11.0 Most used.
2. Nightly (For knowing future FF)
3. Chrome (Back up)
4. IE8 ( Removed it from windows feature) - I installed Firefox, Firefox Nightly, and Chrome. I voted for 3 because I don't think IE should count. :IAnyway, I use Firefox for some work related stuff, and Chrome for everything else. Every couple of months I switch to just using Firefox though, and that will either be Firefox or Nightly. Just because I get bored of a browser if I use it too often.
- Chrome, Firefox, IE9. I, too, use them all.
- On multiple machines I always run the same two browsers:
Iceweasel and w3m. - Firefox, Chrome and IE8. I use them all.
- Chromium
Firefox (Palemoon) -- Ignore system proxy settings option is very useful
Opera

- 1. Opera
2. Maxthon
3.Chrome
4. IE 8 (?)
5. Avant - IE for work (others are not compatible with some of the office tools)
Safari for office communicator at work. Using ask why but I can't search names using IE but then again I'm supposed to use their Citrix client but it's way too slow.

Thunderbird - in sync with its composer and email
Opera - experimentingI have not heard of Waterfox or Rockmelt before I will have to check them out - I have two different computers, which two different browsers on each. Safari and Firefox on my Mac, and Chrome and IE on our PC. The only reason why I still have IE is it's a shared computer, and the other person refuses to switch.
- Waterfox - primary
Firefox - haven't used it since i installed waterfox
Chrome- my brother uses it, its a shared pc
Opera- i use it when i need the turbo mode for slow connections
Rockmelt - im still experimenting with it
IE- i don't even know why i still have it =.='
Qt browser- still experimenting with iti once tried pale moon but uninstalled it as it didn't suit me- Try IE9. They have improved it alot.
- maybe im too devoted to waterfox for now
- I have 3. IE because I still run into a website that only displays in IE. Firefox because I use a couple of the add ons. Main browsing I do on Sr Iron because Google does not need to know my fetishes. :)
- you can use user agent switcher add-on for firefox to access websites meant for IE
- Or use Opera, it is already built in, and you cabn decide for each website..
- IE
Firefox
Opera
Google Chromebut in fact I use Aurora most of the time
(Should it be defined as a separate browser form Firefox?) - Firefox
Waterfox
Internet Explorer
and Chrome.I use all of them for writing tutorials etc. Free sims games for mac. - Why is zero an option? If you don't have a browser I doubt you would be reading this poll..
- I wanna like this comment, makeuseof include a like button in your comment system :)
- Use DISQUS, I would recommend that. :)
- 7 (or 5 or 4) browsers.
Firefox, Firefox Aurora, Palemoon, Palemoon (x64) [primary], Chrome, IE 9, OperaMost of them are Firefox-based.Only Palemoon x64, Aurora, Chrome are actually used regularly. (IE9 is sometimes used for using OneNote Web App) - I have 3 browsers installed.
Internet Explorer by default,Firefox as my main and Chrome for other purposes and to manage different kinds of login related issues. - I use 4 browser! Main use is firefox, and the second is chrome. sometime i use opera and safari!
- Like many here, I am a web developer and have to test in all of the major browsers. 'My' browser is Chrome, but I also have IE9, FF10, Waterfox, Safari, I have a tool called IETester installed that I have found invaluable during testing. It pretty accurately emulates IE5.5 - 10. Not that anyone in worries about IE 5.5, but I actually do have a client that was supporting IE6 until just recently.
- Chrome for main use
Firefox for backup
IE because you can't uninstall it on WindowsSame on Mac except Safari instead of IE - I have basically every major browser on the market installed on my computer. I use two frequently:Firefox (Main browser, always will be)
Opera (Because it's fast and it looks slick) - - Google Chrome
- Firefox
- IE 9
- Chrome Plus - IE9 (mostly for web testing and a few very specific pages)
Chrome (main browser atm)
FF
WF (Waterfox, 64 bit FF)
Safari (mostly for iTunesU administration and web testing)
Opera (just to try it- probably going away) - Firefox - Use it all the time
Internet Explorer - Because it is there - Installed: IE9 anf Firefox 11 ( used most often.) Portable: Firefox 11w/FoxE9, Firefox 3.X, Chrome, Chromium and Iron. I keep them spread out on different drives so that I can preform operations (defrag, cleaners, etc.) on one while browsing on the other.
- Two - The one that came with the OS (IE8) and the one I use (Firefox).I did once remove IE but decided not to bother when re-installing as it is sometimes handy to check a problem isn't just a firefox issue.
- I have:
- IE9 (preinstalled; for web testing only)
- Chrome Dev (main browser; dev can be buggy, but you get all the new features first)
- Firefox Beta (backup browser for when Chrome Dev doesn't work as it should [like now]) - Currently (the list changes from time to time)
Waterfox - Firefox for 64 bit -current favorite
Firefox
IE
Chrome
Comodo Dragon - a chrome variant
Sandboxie - probably not a true browser as it uses whichever one is currently tagged as favorite and sandboxes the entire browser - I got Chrome (favorite), Opera, Firefox and IE. The last three are just for some testing.
- I have on my Mac Lion;
Sea Monkey, Safari, Camino, Opera, Stainless, Sunrise, Browser, Chrome, Chromium and Omniweb.Mostly now I use Sea Monkey and Camino. They both perform well and block annoying ads easily.
Each of the above browsers has its strengths, and then there is the browser file size to consider and the amount of computer resources necessary for it to run.
I find the browser with fewer unnecessary features with a small file size gives consistent fast speed.
All fascinating to trial to see which suits my method of browsing and displays the websites I frequent accurately. - Chrome beta(most used), Opera,and IE. On phone is Opera Mini
- Six, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox, Oniweb and IE on a Windows partitionUse Chrome and Safari for everyday use.
The other for testing websites or when the first fail on a site - When you look at your survey statistics, you should really deduct one from each entry, as one browser will be IE, which hardly anyone would use were it not bundled with Windows.
- I have the Big Four - IE, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. I find that is sufficient for all of my testing needs.
- 7 Browsers -Comodo Dragon, Palemoon, SRWare Iron, Firefox, Opera, Sleipnir 2.x and 3.x. owh, btw, I didn't count in IE..
- I have 3- Firefox, Chrome and IE8. I use Firefox regularly. 2nd is Chrome. Internet Explorer is just a back up option in case some applications or websites don't run in these two browsers.
- Chrome (primary) + IE9 (never used)
- IE8, Maxthon, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, SafariOn two alternate laptops I have IE6 and IE9 in addition.I also use a number of browser simulators.Reason: I design webpages from time to time so like to test on as many different browsers as possible.My main browser of day to day use is Chrome. I used to use firefox, but it just takes for ever to start up.On my android, browser of choice is opera mobile, although I have a couple of other things installed there too.
- IE9 (32 and 64 bit versions), Firefox Portable, Chrome Portable, Chromium Portable, Iron Portable, Maxthon Portable, Opera Portable, Rockmelt, SeaMonkey Portable.
- 5 Browsers: Waterfox, IE9, Dragon Opera and Chrome
- 3 browsers,
IE, OS forced, but some websites still friendly to IE only;
Firefox;
Opera. - I use Waterfox, Chrome, IE9, and I also use IRider for the user friendly tabs.
- Avant, Comodo Dragon, Google Chrome, Lunascape, Maxthon, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Midori, Mozilla Firefox Aurora, Opera, Safari, and Sleipnir. Use Aurora as default browser, IE, Opera, and Maxthon as second choice. The left just installed for render test.
- I have chrome, IE, maxthon, firefox, and included the nightly ux of firefox. Not sure if the nightly ux should be included since it's still firefox, but whatever.
- tried every browser out there..but starting to use Opera more and more..it's just plain faster on my laptop
- I'm using FF use to be primary but freezes too often but i still love the fact that there are so many apps that i could use, Chrome as Primary, Opera as backup, Safari for testing, and IE well it came with the computer but i hardly ever use it.
- I use Chrome, and have IE installed because I haven't bothered removing it.
- On my windows box I use Chromium dev as primary browser with chrome beta as a backup. I keep both the release and bleeding edge version of Firefox around for those rare occasions when chrome acts up. IE is there too but hardly use it. My mac is set up similar but I'll play around with Opera but never Safari. I use Chrome and FF in linux mint. yeah, overkill.
- I use Chrome as my primary browser, Firefox for private browsing, IE to send things to OneNote, and Opera and Safari to round out the suite for website testing. I can rub my belly and pat my head too..
- I personally use Chrome in X and links (or some variant) when an upgrade happens to break X. (Linux)
- I have Chrome as my primary. IE is my backup, and I actually had to use it yesterday.
- Using a Mac, I have Chrome (primary), Safari, which I haven't used in ages, and Firefox, which I don't much care for either. There were things I really liked about Safari, but it crashed so much that I finally made the switch to Chrome and I love it.
- I have 3 browsers installed.Internet Explorer - Because Windows did'nt ask me if I wanted it.SRWare Iron - My primary browser.Firefox - Just a matter of time before it goes.
- Just IE & FF (primary) for me.
- In order of use:
(1) Seamonkey - primary browser plus email client - 8 extensions
(2) Firefox - 8 extensions
(3) Opera
(4) Chrome - rarely use
(5) IE - only for windows updates- i am using Four browsers.

1. Safari
Developed by Apple, and based on the WebKit engine, the Safari browser for Mac has been available, as the default browser on Apple’s devices, since 2004 together with the Mac OS x Panther, and in its mobile version for iOS since 2007.
One of its most distinguishing features is its Nitro JavaScript engine, which performs up to eight times faster than Internet Explorer, and over four times faster than Firefox. In addition, Safari includes speculative loading, which loads documents, scripts and style information ahead of time; and a smart address field, which autocompletes.
Best Browsers For Mac Users

Safari’s tools also include the useful Safari Reader, for distraction-free reading. From version 10, Safari contains several extensions, such as 1Password, Save to Pocket and DuckDuckGo.
Overall, these distinctive aspects, focused on modern user’s needs, and typical of Apple products, make Safari the fastest browser for Mac, and undoubtedly a strong candidate to be the best browser for Mac.
2. Chrome
Chrome browser for Mac was developed by Google, and has been applauded since its release. This browser uses the Blink engine, it is written in C++, and the majority of its source code is available through the open-source project Chromium.
Continuing with Google’s approach in its search engine, Chrome has a minimalistic user interface, enhanced by the fusion of the search and address bar into only one field.
In addition, Chrome has instant search capabilities, permits the synchronization of bookmarks, settings and history across all devices via a Google Account, and has unparalleled security features.
Its security is based on the Sandbox model, which isolates the processes and prevents the browser from interacting with certain operative system functions. Furthermore, it gives the user the choice to use the Privacy Mode, which forbids the browser from permanently storing browsing history or cookies.
Google has also added the possibility for third parties to develop apps, extensions, and themes, which must be contained in a .crx file. Adding to all these, Google has published an official developer’s guide, and created a web store for third party apps. The visual aspects are also good, as the user has many available themes to customize the appearance of the browser.
Summarizing, Chrome presents a third party great choice, in terms of speed, efficiency and functionality.
3. Torch
Torch browser for Mac is an app intended to be different from the norm. It was developed by Torch Media, based on the open source Chromium code. Torch has been available as commercial freeware since 2013, and used by more than 10 million people.
Torch’s functionality is wide. Besides displaying websites, Torch also gives the user the capacity to share websites via social networks, and to download torrents with its built-in torrent client. It also has the ability to download Instagram and Vine videos.

In addition, the developers offer Torch Music, a free service that helps in organizing YouTube videos. Torch presents a user friendly interface, which allows the user to customize according to his preferences by using a set of available themes. On the downside, it is slow and users may be asked to install unwanted toolbars and adware.
In summary, Torch is the best internet browser for Mac for those users that love torrent downloads and want to use something out of the norm.
4. Opera
The Opera browser for Mac is a freeware developed by Opera Software. It is available in 42 languages, and for Windows, OS X and Linux. It has more than 350 million users worldwide. This browser uses Blink as a layout engine, and it has many features that were original in Opera, and later adopted by other browsers.

Opera’s most important features include pop-up blocking, private browsing, tabbed browsing, a bookmarks bar, and a download manager. It also has speed dials, which allows the user to download pages and show them in thumbnail form.
Opera’s user can also opt to work in turbo mode, which compresses web pages before sending them, and as a consequence, reducing waiting time.
In addition, this browser checks websites against a list of sites known for phishing and malware.
Overall, for many users Opera with its many innovative features answers the question on “what is the best browser for Mac”.
