Default How do you prefer to surf the interbutts?

Do you:

Prefer to keep a tidy and clean browser bar, have a gigantic browser bar with a million toolbars, Hit F11 and hide all of it...?

How does an-- Erm... How do you browse? o3o

Me, I do have bookmarks, but I delete the names to only show the emblem, and have them all stack neatly on mine... Single line. o.o

More often than not, I hit F11 when I'm browsing and hide everything, making my web browser basically full screen. :3

What about you?

I prefer having tabs, a URL bar, a Google bar, a Home button, Back/Forward/Refresh buttons, File/Edit/all that stuff, and all of my bookmarks on my bookmarks bar. No fullscreen.

I use Chrome, and don't use Bookmarks, so I just have a URL bar with tabs above it. I never usually use more than five tabs, I try not to have too many. It just looks neater that way. My dad always has over ten tabs up, and it's too confusing for me :L

I have the basic firefox buttons and tab bar. I set the tab bar to hide when they're not in use.

If I'm searching a shopping site, I sometimes enable their relative toolbar.


I only go fullscreen if I'm playing a flash game that takes up the entire screen, but I do that rarely because I have trouble getting out.

Top of my screen is pretty small, just the address bar and search bar.. That kinda stuff.

I use the dropdown thing on the right of the address bar and it has the most visited sites are there so I have no need for bookmarks.

I have the menu and address bar, and I add my most visited webpages on the Yahoo! toolbar for quicker access. I rarely have more than 5 or 6 tabs open at once, and I never use the full screen feature.

I used to turn into a Lapras, now I just ride on a Wailmer.

But seriously folks, I use Safari. I rarely use tabs, I instead keep open a bunch of tabs. I have about six bookmarks that I use. I have a basic toolbar on the top, and list of applications on the bottom that never goes away.

Does anyone else use a mac?

I do. My Safari is pretty tidy; all I have is my Back/Forward buttons, Home Page, Web Snippet (never actually use this), my address bar with my custom orange loading bar, Google Search, and my bookmarks bar underneath. I make no attempt to restrict tabs open, though, ESPECIALLY when reading TV Tropes; at one time, I had somewhere near 250 tabs open at once.

Top Bar Thingy    


If there's a particular site or video I go to a lot that isn't one of those bookmarked sites, I just type the first few letters and faithful Firefox gets it for me, so I don't need to bookmark a ton of stuff.

Yep. I keep most of my frequented sites (VR, Metroid Wiki, Metroid Database, Facebook, YouTube, dA, etc.) in bookmarks.

I use Firefox. I usually only have to have one tab up, but every now and again, I will have multiple tabs up for when I'm training competitive teams or I have to do some homework for history class.

I use firefox. I like to keep as few tabs open as possible, especially when I'm doing homework. Between all of the programs on the taskbar and all the tabs on the browser, I get confused and have to click through everything to find what I want. I've got bookmarks, but they only link to home pages. I'm OCD like that.

For me, clean is the best way to go.

I use the slimlined new IE9 Beta. I've got a single toolbar, but I like to turn it off quite often, leaving just the tab/address bar.

Got a few random bookmarks just in case, I don't really use them much, aside from the TF2 Wiki, TRADE, and bit.ly, I guess. I also usually have a tab for AOL, Youtube, Twitter, and VR open at all times. Oh, and Chrome extensions are nice, easy to see if there's something cool on Woot! or if I need to translate a webpage quickly.

I don't really have bookmarks. i just surf by visiting the sites I visit most often which are listed in my Address Bar. I usually have about two tabs open for VR, one or twof or another site, and one for Youtube.

I like having just bookmarks on the top bar, and I always put them in folders. And I also go full screen sometimes.

Attachment 1691

That's my top bar thingy and how my New Tab screen looks most of the time. At most I have two tabs up at the same time.

I've been starting to use Opera lately, and I have to say I'm fairly impressed. But Firefox 4 is still a top for me. Once 4 is out of beta I'll make a more permanent decision.


Also installed IE9 today. Not sure why since I disabled IE as soon as I installed FF ^_^
