There is a serious battle now... the Netscape died, the Mozilla have lost on the
Windows platforms but sure it lives good on the linux... but now who will take
over the Windows? FireFox or the Explorer? I prefer the Firefox, it works
faster, better, and its tabbed... i don`t know about the SP2 for XP becouse i
use 2003... what do you think?
Firefox - tabbed browsing, popup blocker (default setting ON) since version 0.1.
Better protection against spyware etc. More stuff are built in it all the time.
Bugfixes are fast.
IE - No tabbed browsing. Popup blocker (default setting OFF) after SP2 (IE vers
6.x). Uses ActiveX components which are vulnerable to viruses & worms. No
major changes for a long time.
I prefer Firefox it blocks popups for once, tabbed, if it crashs it wont take
down my document views like IE would. Never crashed yet though. So much better
interface and options. Also saves pages that IE refuses to save. So i can
Archive sites so much better now without messing around recodeing them
I've been using Firefox for a few weeks now, but I'm an idiot so sometimes I
still have trouble with it. :P Still, the tabs are handy and I like the popup
blocker a lot.
Still there's some stuff and sites that only show up properly in IE, so it's
handy to have around. ._.
...you will hear about it more and more
...don't be afraid of new things, just because it's "comfortable" to
use IE definately doesn't make it better.. ya don't know what your missing
* has done his duty to promote Firefox for today *
I've been using Firefox back in the days when it was Phoenix. Man, has it ever
come a long way...
Why would you use Explorer? It doesn't even view websites correctly. Plus, it's
an utter biatch to make websites for. Recently I all but stopped bitch-slapping
html and webcode to work in IE and tell these primitve web browsers to get
Firefox.
Never a good idea to use a web browser that is also used for a main part of the
OS. When IE crashes, windows usually crashes. If Firefox crashes, firefox
crashes. ^_^

Well actually Microsoft should fix their browser, because the IE sites you are
talking about are non-standard. In HTML standard by W3C, every browser which
follows it will show the pages same way. If there is non-standard code used, the
browser should not show the website corretly. When website is done "by the
book", it shows same way in every browser. Microsoft has done it's own
non-standard fixes to IE and people are using those. That's no good
Quote by winterlilac09I use
Internet Explorer and I don't have a problem with it...... I haven't ever even
heard of Firefox before. rofl.
Someone's missing out. I just recently changed to Firefox
because IE kept crashing. Now there's no more crashing, and there are tabs! My
start bar is now tidy again!! Also, I haven't had a single pop-up (it asks me if
I want to see them! Sweet!)
Only problem I have with Firefox is that I can't right-click and select
"Download with Flash-Get" or "Download all with lash-Get". I
like d/ling an entire OST in one night, so I have to open that page with IE to
select the all to d/l in one go
Hmm the firefox sure handles better the "timeout" problem with the MT
.. but only what ditches me with FX ( i use that instead FireFox) is that it
loads ... 2x times longer then IE - but thats only a preview version now... so
it WILL be and it IS better then that... IE can`t call it a web browser... yuck

Ooo. I am sooooo used to using Internet Explorer. But recently, I have been
using FoxFire @ Home, because it is convient! It has those tabs! Something
simular to what Netscape had...
So, I think that Foxfire will rule over Explorer ONE DAY.
Plus, the little Fox is cute! That's a bonus point.

well ie better stop draging it's butt or firefox will be the main internet viewer.
I prefer Firefox, seems more "efficient" than IE, plus it's alot more customizable

I'm still stuck with IE but changing to Firefox as soon as my bro gets home.

without a doubt Firefox. IE has nothing on it.
here's a brilliant reasoning as to why Firefox rules. (btw i'm Bo0 YoiNks there) lol

I Dont have a clue what firefox is :p but since you guys seem really happy with it i guess it cant hurt to try it
oh and i use IE and Opera(main).
Firefox is immune to toolbars, while IE, if left alone, can be attacked by multiple toolbars. Oh boy, you're screwed if that happens.

I use firefox, don't really like IE. Firefox is more protective.

Firefox is the best
I
had some problems with the MT page as I used IE. As I changed to Firefox: no
problems.

i prefer opera..
