Use Chrome myself. It simply works better than IE in many cases. That doesn't particularly mean I support them, especially in light of their involvement with the NSA. But if the US government wants to expose my porn viewing to further their agenda in future, well so be it I guess. Ha. T.

I find IE works better with VS so use it for most development unless I need to do a lot of client side debugging in which case I use Chrome. I then use Chrome for everyday use. I only use Firefox for cross browser testing. Craig On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 12:01 PM, Stephen Price <[email protected]> wrote: I disagree. I think? I find I use Chrome and IE. For development it depends what I'm doing. If I want to hit a breakpoint in VS then IE does that. If I want to use the debugger in the browser then I use Chrome. IE keeps changing their Developer tools and even though they are improving I still find Chrome more productive for debugging. For actual USE I use Chrome for most things but occasionally something doesn't work right and I switch. Pluralsite for example seems to hang after a while in Chrome. No issues in IE. Not used Firefox in some years. Toggling between two is fine. A third becomes too much.

By *use* I mean to personally browse and not to just test sites across different browsers. Even on my now dead Macbook I used Chrome and just find it nicer than Safari or IE.

When they copy text from a Web page into Microsoft Word they are prompted for credentials on one site but not on another, similarly configured, site. Both sites are basic auth over https and both are ASP.net apps with very minor differences. The major differences are in their proxy configurations. I can understand why credentials are required but not why they seem to be automatically offered in one case but not in the other. Where can I find some documentation about how Windows and Office conspire together to grab CSS files so Word can decide what text formatting to offer? -- Regards, noonie
