Poll: Community Site & Forum Errors/Issues - which Browser are you using?

In connection with the problems being reported in Site Errors (Slow pages, slow posting, connection reset, uploads failing) I thought it may be useful to see what browsers people are experiencing these problems on.
You can Vote for upto 3 choices.
If you experience problems with several browsers, you can vote for "Several of the above" but also vote for the browser(s) that you have or perceive to have the greatest problems with.
You can come back and amend your vote should you wish.
For example you may feel you can only vote for 2 choices at present, and then try something else, so want to come back and add to or change the way you voted. The poll has an open end date at present.
If the "Other" category becomes very big, then it may be sensible to add relevant extra choices.
If you vote "Other", feel free to post to say what the browser(s) are.
If you have a (sensible) suggestion on modifying the poll in some way, please post your suggestion.
Please continue to post the details of your errors and problems in Site Errors (Slow pages, slow posting, connection reset, uploads failing) but feel free to say if you only see certain problems with one browser and different problems with another in this thread.
If you mis-post in here, I will request the moderators to move or delete it.
Thanks.

I use Firefox (and have voted as such) but I have very few issues apart from the occasional hang when uploading files.

Note that there are many versions of each Browser, each operating in a different OS...

Yes, and as I posted in the other thread, just interested in browsers in this poll.
But feel free to post which OS you are using if you want.

It might be advisable if they also post their browser versions, as some have reverted to earlier versions, due to poor upgraded version(s) causing other non related issue(s)
I have had issues in both Chrome & Firefox with the past 3 - 4  & present versions, as was reported

Well that's the sort of thing I was thinking we might look at as a further breakdown a little bit later on.
Nothing stopping anyone from saying which version if they think it's relevant..

Re: Poll: Community Site & Forum Errors/Issues - which Browser are you using?

I am using Orca (yes, I know it's old and based on old FF code and no longer supported) on W7 x64, and to be honest, I have very few issues with the forum (mis)behaving.
On the very odd occasion when it slows, I find it is my browser, and not the forum, which is at fault.

Re: Poll: Community Site & Forum Errors/Issues - which Browser are you using?

MiniBrowser from WebKitGTK+ doesn't request all the .css files again for every single forum page loaded - so perhaps WebKit based browsers such as Chrome and Safari will be less likely to have problems with the forums than Firefox.

Difficult for me to tell at the moment, as my posting since return from holiday has been limited, but I'm not noticing anything any better at this time.
