What browser do you use when viewing VideoSift?
Just curious, due to the fact that Firefox wouldn't play a video I tried to sift today.
This is the video I'm having a problem with http://videosift.com/video/Baseball-Play-of-theYear-2010

Why is there no Opera option? I feel handicapped without it.
It's right there! At the bottom. It even starts with "O" and has 5 letters >> ^Ornthoron:

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I do love Chrome. Hate to say it, but Safari annoys the hell out of me.
I find I can only trust Firefox. Any other browser just can't match the range of extensions. It feels solid and makes me feel I'm in true control (or as much as I want to be) of the browsing experience.
It's only missing Chrome's speed and a few of the neat interface features in Opera.
Used to be Firefox, now Chrome. Firefox started getting way, way too bloaty and slow. Chrome is blazingly fast comparatively, and has the extensions I need (I don't need many -- I'd probably still use Firefox if I did).
I've tried them all (except Opera - at least not recently), and I think Chrome may be in the lead. Lots of issues with Camino since installing the latest update for OSX. Firefox has weird events triggering that interfere with Flash video playback on ALL versions. Safari is dumb with its silly thumb view everytime I open a new tab - seems to slow the browser from opening the tab.
Yeah, Chrome. Clear winner.
Oh, and IE? I wish I could nuke it from space.
Though Chrome seems to not always write the Flash object when the page loads. I have to reload once.
yeah firefox just got slower and slower. using chrome, even though it isn't compatible with some sites i use.
SeaMonkey here. Same rendering engine as Firefox but an old fashioned interface
I try Chrome from time to time and while quite fast I always miss the functionality of NoScript and Adblock plus.
Chrome has similar extensions but they're not quite there yet (IMHO)
I believe I mentioned this last time we had a poll like this, but yet again no one is owning up to using IE. Zero people? I'm pretty sure the site's logs would tell a different tale.
I use Firefox with no-script, that occasionally causes problems with playing videos. In use IE on rare occasions, mostly when I have a problem viewing a page with Firefox. If I cant get a page to load properly with IE or FireFox they're doing something wrong.
Biggest problem I run into with no-script is it seems some sites are starting to tie everything into the content you want to actually see, so you end up having to enable just about everything to see a video.
So i'm computer stupid. Could you fill me in about scripts?

No-script is an addon that basically blocks java and flash programs which are potential sources of viruses and malware.
Mozilla's SeaMonkey for me.
They would, but IE doesn't render the poll properly, so they can't click it...

Voting for this poll ended with the majority of users voting Firefox.
