Om my windows machine:internet explorer because we have equipent that it ties in to. aol for media because IE doesn't always play all media files for some reason. Firefox mainly when I do heavy surfing. On my windows machines it my browser of choice. People say its safer, I think it is more effective with tabbed browsing. Yu can get a google bar 3rd party for it if needed. the "this application unexpecedly quit" happens less to. On my mac I use IE because it is easy, and it does this cool blue highlite of the last link you went to if you clickbak n your browser. I love safari because you can sewt your own stylesheet for the browser. The homepage set up is different on all machines. Usually it is one that helps our company work, lke our admin panel. One computer is set to google though.
firefox rules. about:blank because I never open a browser window always wanting to go to the same site. search these forums for why firefox is better. basically FF is more secure, less adware/spyware infultration, has all the same features as IE and more. FF is way more customizable, tabbed browsing rules, and I recommend the TabbedBrowser Extension as it's one of the best extensions I've got. You can drag tabs so they are ordered, reload tabs, duplicate tab, label tabs, etc. Oh and I have a folder of bookmarks for DP that opens the Keyword Suggestion Tool, Coop, Keyword Tracker, and the forums all in their own tabs, so with a click of a button I get all the DP I need at my fingertips. haha. I hope someone reads this not knowing what I mean by DP, and they think it's the sexual DP. oh and here is a post of some useful firefox extensions
Yep, just bookmark all your DP pages in a folder then when you browse that folder with bookmarks menu in firefox, or when that folder is on your "Links" bar you select that folder and select the "open in tabs" option. real easy.
IE - google. Hardly use it, unless I absolutely have to. Firefox - firefox home page. Never got around to changing it, and it loads quick enough for me to not get annoyed. Mozilla - open up all my tabs from my previous session. That way, everything I was doing is available again.
IE 6, Firefox, and Netscape all set to a local page of links to current design work for quick and easy access when a client calls.
IE - www.sitejot.com... My own site, but it is my homepage, this isn't an empty plug . It's a bookmark manager so its a useful homepage for me using multiple computers.
I use IE and www.newsfeedreader.com as my homepage. Its a good page with a bunch of custom news feeds that you can put on one page. Their server seems to not be up all the time so the other option is to use I-Google: www.google.com/ig/
IE & MFirefox, depends on what computer I'm using. The homepages are at google.com. It's when you're going on to look for something if you don't already know the URL, just google it up.
