Best browser for ticket day

[O'Doyle Rules]

I use Chrome and haven't had the best luck in recent years (used to use Safari).

 

Is there an ideal browser?

[Avalon_Fields]

Chrome worked for me last year. Some suggest trying a tab in a variety of browsers.

[Slugworth]

Firefox + 1 tab

Unless you're using something that takes an age to render it makes no difference.

No, there isn't. 

 

I've had tickets using IE, Chrome and Firefox over the last few years. 

 

There's no secret, you whack F5 and see if you get lucky.

Surely it doesn't matter.

I used IE to get my tickets yesterday and I got them as quick as I did when using Firefox/Chrome.

 

IMO doesn't matter and is all down to luck.

Firefox did it for me

& brute force, get as many connections from different devices on different ip addresses going as possible. Recruit friends, relatives laptops tablets, iPads, dongles, android phones as hotspots & any other devices going, & neighbours wifi passwords can also be handy

I think it also depends how the browser is on your pc too, when i used chrome is was slow and add ons didn't download properly for some reason so all in all was a mess. If the browser has always worked fine then just use that in the end u just gotta spam that F5 button and have as many devices open as possible. Goodluck!

Firefox with 5 tabs open On an iMac F5ing on Thursday worked for me. I had 2 tabs open on Safari too but they just sat there doing nothing so I closed them down. Shortly after I did that I got through to the booking page. So Firefox was refreshing for me but Safari wasn't for some reason, which is weird as usually Safari is the quicker browser for me when surfing the net.

I've set Firefox to auto refresh every 5s and will manually refresh Safari.

 

If Firefox is auto refreshing every 5s and it gets you through to input your details will it potentially log you back out if its constantly refreshing as you enter your details?

[musky]

From what I've read if you refresh you'll get the holding page again.

So only manually refreshing is going to work?

[musky]

It's the same deal however you refresh. If you get the reg page you risk getting kicked off if you refresh.

Edit: if you're on the holding page you can refresh as much as you want.

Ok, that's what I mean. The auto refresh is fine at the holding page but as soon as you get through to the registration page if it's auto refreshing for you then you are likely to get kicked out before you can enter the details due to the auto refreshing. 

 

Manual refreshing it is then .....

How often are you pressing F5? Every second or less?

F5 is more something you 'feel' when it's necessary.

As soon as the page loads seems to work for me....

[sime]

I click onto each of the tabs I have open and F5 each one in turn continuously until one of them (hopefully) goes to the reg page. It's worked for me so far (but it's most likely down to blind luck)Still, its a method I will use every year just because it would feel weird for me if I didn't.

Could try autorefresh plugin altho I've never had any luck with them
