Browser you use at Work

I currently use Firefox with IE tab, but it does not always work well with our intarnet. Might have to switch back to full blown IE. Boss warned me of that when I started but I hate IE. Just curious to know what everyone is using at work?

IE8 at work and home. I'm not big on variety....

FF and IE8 but have you seen how bad IE does on the acid test?......for what that's worth.

The Acid3 Test

Shocking huh, bring on IE9 which apparently scores 40+

But when all is said and done so long as you are forced through a proxy who cares.

Wow at IE9, much better than I had heard about and a massive improvment from the 22 or so from IE8

Chrome for almost everything and IE8 for Microsoft sites or other non chrome compatible sites.

I'm a bit surprised because I've tried almost every browser and kept coming back to IE for some reason but now i'm 98% of the time on chrome.

IE and Firefox for any client work, Chrome for personal browsing.

The Acid3 Test

The Acid3 test is very contrived and contains tests for some features which aren't even fully ratified yet or are in the progress of being obsoleted and replaced with something else. Unlike the earlier Acid and Acid2 tests, Acid 3 is little more than a tool for browser makers to brag with as their implementations of some of these features is extremely poor and the bare minimum necessary to pass the test. Neither FF or IE will score 100/100 just because neither implement SVG fonts as WOFF is a superior standard and in the progress of being ratified by W3C.

Compared to 2010 (entire year) Chrome gained 4% and FF and IE both lost 2%.

FF 4 beta as my main browser. It scored 97/100 on the acid test.

IE8 for the crap that doesn't play nice with FF.

I guess I'm just not cool enough, I use plain old IE.
