PC Browser Playability

Hi All,

Quick question, which PC browser do you use and why? Do you use one because it is faster than others? Do you use one because let lets you do shady things like delete from the queues? Or are you just a firefox fanboi and must use it?

Just trying to get a feel for how others play the game. Also, have any of you had problems with bot protection with having mutiple browser windows open? I play from time to time with one Tab open for various things and one Tab open for Galaxy view.

I have heard of stories, and now observed twice, of people getting banned for using mutiple broswer windows. Maybe that has nothing to do with bot, and just some sort of test/monitor gone wrong in-game?

Multiple tabs has brought up questions before regarding auto bans, but as far as I know there has been nothing proven yet.

Hmm, do you think mutiple Tabs would be the same as multiple Browser windows open?

Also, is it against the rules to have mutiple tabs/browsers open?

I would assume so, but I'm definitely not the most computer knowledgeable person around this community.

Using multiple tabs is fine.

Using multiple windows might have its issues. If you have to switch browser, then log out first just to be sure.

I use firefox most of the time. It just feels comfortable.
Chrome is also good. I switch to it when I get tired filling out forms again and again. e.g. battle simulator

CHROME FTW... I've used it exclusively (with the exception of one game I play which has a legal mod made for firefox) for the last 6 months and I could never go back to firefox... its so much sleeker and just feels much better :D

Using multiple windows is allowed as well. I highly encourage it on safety probes because you don't have to click on the tab, as it is already open below in a split-window.

I have been a bit of picky about what software i use. I used to have ie when i was in the baby cot then realized there is a way out of its hindrance with the winged browser firefox. At adolescence firefox became a bit bulky as it came up with lots of add ons or bug fixes and new versions. Easily getting cluttered with stuffs, i hate bulky stuffs.

I found Google Chrome. Its light, its fast, its basic, its handy.
