well i just got my new issue of Wired in the Mail and guess who is on the cover?
Blake Ross developer of Firefox with the caption "The Firefox
Revolt". this is great, i love seeing Firefox getting all the great press
it deserves. So do you think Mozilla can [eventually] take serious market
share from IE? i think in time they can.
As the founder here, I encourage all of you to switch to Firefox! Right on! Viva
la Revolution! **Makes a peace sign** I told you Firefox will prevail! Thanks
for all your proud support guys, a little part of us paves a big way - to work
towards a safer browser solution! Wo0t!
I started using Firefox when it was at version 0.9 ^^; (I swithced to version
1.0 'cause it's newer )
But about the issue of overthrowing IE altogether... Who knows.... Not everyone
who uses the computer cares about their browsers... They'll just use whatever is
equipped.
Quote by DREAM So do you think Mozilla can
[eventually] take
serious market share from IE?
It's gonna be a tough one... you see, maybe FF can (and will) win the IT and
geek portion of the market, but most of the internet users just start browsing
with whatever comes included with the OS theyr pc came with (winbugs) - many of
them dont bother/care with what they use to surf the interner as long as they
are able to... much less looking and installing a new browser
didnt you notice? wht you first start your pcm "the internet" is
inmediatly related to "internet explorer" so after a little bit of
time, any normal user woluld say "i'l start internet" refering to run
IE to browse it - get what i'm saying?
as long as M$ has control over the 95%of the pc market (and that will be for a
very very long time) i think FFox will prevail as a seccond place... sad but
true
as long as microsoft is the dominant operating system, ie will be the dominant
browser. i personnally prefer firefox but ie is the default browser for windows
which automaticly makes it the most popular, because most people don't care
which one they use and ie is easier.
Quote by ZeliardI'm using Opera and I
find it to be faster than Firefox...
Yep, there always has to be some Opera guy hanging out...
;-)
Nothing against Opera, but if I have to choose "Pay for it, or free with
ads" or "free all the time, and open source too, and runs on obscure
platforms too" I choose Firefox! But I see a lot of people singing Opera's
praises, so undoubtedly it is a good browser.
I really like Firefox. Before Firefox/Mozilla I was using a different browser
on every platform. Netscape 4.x on Solaris, Interweb Exploder on Windows, and
lynx or w3m on Linux (at least before they ported Netscape 4.x to it). Now I
use Firefox on everything, and enjoy a uniform browser everywhere I go.
I like FireFox more, it simply is a matter of preference, don't get so fired up
people. The themes are nice features, and because it is open-sourced, there can
be so many extensions made for the browser. Monopoly is never good, another
reason I use FireFox.
FireFox has everything IE never will. Proper coding that is compatible with
other browsers, the ability to open multiple tabs as well as multiple windows. I
can't even use IE anymore. Nothing shows up right in IE. But still, I find
myself coding web pages to be compatible in both browsers in case someone
visiting one of my web sites uses IE.
I'm a loyal firefox user, and will never use anything else again.
Hm, it could very well happen. But, Microsoft has established itself world wide
for quite some time now. I mean, who haven't heard of Bill Gates? It's more a
problem of getting people to know about FireFox.
Personally I love FireFox for its tab ability and I love IE for other use
friendly things like an easier method of saving pictures.
lol... I would love to see firefox kicks IE and its msft's butt.
but then again, with Mozilla being a micro-cap company and gettiing all of
sudden this popularity and msft known to like to buy out the smaller guys.
because of all the msft lawsults at the momment they are not going to bother,
but most likely i think they would either buy them out eventually or finally
develop something thats worth using...
i love using firefox and I think is way way way better than any broswer at the
momment. but still some sites are build just for ie ... so basically unless
either Mozilla becomes bigger somehow, or eventually ie is gonna start punch
back with their multi hundred billion dollar company behind their backs... XP
It, like many other browsers, still lacks standard items that appear in both
HTML and CSS that have been around since the late 90s. Though, it is nice to
have something without a security hole in the most mundane part of the software.
firefox is so much better because its open source and there are so many
extensions (grnated, some suck, but others are really useful)
and of course, I cant forget the days of 300 pieces of spyware everytime I
surfed the web on IE,
woo! Firefox #1!
Unfortunately, no I don't believe it will. Which is something that I'm very
sorry to say. I have been using Mozilla with linux for years and Firefox since
0.8 with winxp. But, the majority of computer users worldwide run a Windows OS
and until Microsoft is barred by law from bundling IE with their OS, IE will be
the browser that is predominately used. What else can I say but:

That doesn't keep us from using Firefox though, does
it!
i never thought about using firefox until i came on minitokyo ^_^ now i use it
always ; it's far much better with the pop ups and all the shit that internet
explorer let do ^_^
go go firefox
Heh, i use firefox when i'm working on linux (that means that i use firefox 1 of
10000 times), but the other times i use maxthon, i really hate IE, because it
don't stop pop-ups, and i just hate so much.
you guys realize that there are minor issues with MT and Firefox, don't
you?...
and what's worse is that those specific bugs doesn't appear in IE.....
that applies vice versa
so, the conclusion....
Firefox isn't the best, nor it's perfect....
it's just wayyyy much better than IE
but every now and then, admit it, you -need- *cough*IE*cough*
unless Bill Gates got out of Ms and funded Mozilla... I doubt that IE the
universal standard of web browsing will be replaced by Firefox anytime soon ..
I'm just stating the facts here...
I myself use Firefox almost 80% of the time....
but heck, sometimes I do have to make the switch because of certain issues with
Firefox..
well, go go Firefox xd....
I started using firefox last month, and I think its really good. I no longer
get stupid crap that seems to find its way on to your computer anymore, plus I
just like the look and feel better.
However, the only thing that I have heard about it leately is that there is
actually a major security flaw that is present on it, I cant remmebr what it is,
but they are thinkng that it wont be fixed until the next version is
released.
I wouldnt worry too much about it thought, becuase look at how many security
issues that IE has all of the time.

I think firefox will get way more popular than IE because it is superior to IE in every way, not to mention being totally free.
