    So, this post serves two purposes.

    1. Two comment and question on the fact that at the bottom of the page on home, where it shows the online users, it says Google and Yahoo in grey text, not linked or anything

    2. What do you like for your search engine, and browser? Bing, Google, Duckduckgo, or Yahoo? Chrome V Firefox V Edge V IE?

    The grey text Google and Yahoo are just bots.

    Google is my search engine.

    I'm with DuckDuckGo all the way. A while ago, their search was kind of iffy and they didn't have many features (no image search was hard to work around), but today they're full-featured and awesome. Automatic conversion and basic math services (and some advanced math courtesy of integration with Wolfram|Alpha.) Instant blurbs from sources like Wikipedia and IMDB, they do just about everything! All without trying to demographize me and sell me stuff.

    I don't know how to say this, DuckDuckGo, but... I think... I... love... the quality of search results you give me. Don't ever change. Unless, you know, it's to become even more awesome.

    If you edit the first post of this thread and go to the Full Editor, there will be an option on the right hand side with things like "enable emoticons" and "enable signature". Near those is a button for "Manage Topic Poll". Just follow the breadcrumbs from there, and be sure to include DuckDuckGo as an answer! Who knows, the dark horse might just win!

    Usually I tend to use Google as my search engine most of the time, even though I'm resorting to using DuckDuckGo at times when I feel like it.

    I like the simplicity and ease of use that Google provides, along with an endless list of services that only make things easier (most of the time) and so, I use Google pretty much exclusively. As for the browser, I use Firefox because it's awesome!

    I used to use Yahoo way back when, but I've been using Google and Chrome ever since I got my first PC. They run faster on my computer, and I've grown to like their layouts a lot; I've even started liking gmail a little more after years of using Yahoo's email, though I still use both pretty equally.

    I use Google, it's the most convenient for me and I'm used to it the most. It also gives me much more relevant results than Bing does.

    I use google and chrome. Both of them are pretty versatile and reliable. Pretty simple, but it's nice. Super accessible and useful in my opinion. Love them both!

    I use Google (Chrome) too because it's always reliable and has some other handy features as well. The only thing I don't like about it is how they're trying to force Google+ down the users' throats, which I know is kinda late to still complain about. Yahoo is a decent second place for me, but I'll never even consider using Bing >_>

    Yeah, it's actually gotten really popular lately and is a viable replacement for other search engines. I tried it for a while, but my main problem is that I'm used to Google too much... It's cool though
