bibbinut Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Recently I came into possession of an Asus eee PC. It has Ubuntu as the OS. Connected last night on to the forums here with Firefox using WLAN. Apparently, Firefox is the default browser for Ubuntu? Was doing some research into Ubuntu as I'm more familiar with Windows OS and MAC OS. Really liking the Ubuntu OS. Crisp and clean and has a very nice feel to it. Would like to try out some other browsers with it and was considering perhaps Opera. Would like to know how many members here use Ubuntu on a daily basis and what browser they use with it. Comments? Recommendations? FYI Firefox is my favorite browser at the moment, but, I'm willing to try out other browsers. I've done this on my desktop PC which has a Windows OS. Who knows the next one I try might become my new favorite. I like to try new things, especially when it comes to computers. Liking the Ubuntu OS very much.

Thanks for your response. :) Chrome you say? Might try that. I've used Google on my desktop myself. Which chromium browser do you use? I like Comodo Dragon.

buffy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Google Chrome > Chromiminnmun Have tried both and found Chrome is less buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibbinut Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Google Chrome > Chromiminnmun Have tried both and found Chrome is less buggy. Interesting. I've found the opposite. Am actually online here at the moment using Comodo Dragon. Comodo Dragon apparently isn't available for Ubuntu as of yet. Was just checking the Comodo forums. Bit leery of Google Chrome due to security issues, but, am still willing to give it a try. Thanks for your response. :) Edited April 10, 2011 by bibbinut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likes its layout better. I've found less of a problem with it. But, will give Chrome a try with Ubuntu. I'm online right now with my WLAN connection and am on Firefox. Going to be downloading some browsers and trying them out. Thanks for your response. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibbinut Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) $ sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser There are 2 alternatives which provide `x-www-browser’. Selection Alternative ———————————————– 1 /usr/bin/firefox *+ 2 /usr/bin/opera Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: Very interesting how the commands differ in this OS to set the default browsers. This is going to be fun.:) Also noticed that there are 32bit versions of Ubuntu and 64bit Ubuntu. Very interesting. ;) Edited April 11, 2011 by bibbinut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamo Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Google Chrome > Chromiminnmun Have tried both and found Chrome is less buggy. Yea chrome is better than chromium Still I prefer friefox, since with firefox sync you can get firefox in your every computer to see all your saved passwords etc. Edited April 11, 2011 by Jarmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
