I think everyone will stop using explorer now... I cant get on freerocks.com...
back on topic...
anyway... i use both ie and firefox... and they seem similar... firefox used a lot of resources on an earlier version i had... but the latest version is good...
Love is the answer
i disagree, i tried opera for a while. the one feature i love about opera though is how you cant accidently click on annoying ass flash ads. but the username/pass memory system wasnt perfect like firefoxes and i just couldnt be arsed to type my info er' ten seconds.stef10 wrote:

15 more years! 15 more years!

Lots of the mods Firefox has come default in Opera.

You can try IE7 with the IE7Pro mod, which adds ad block, flash block, and a whole host of other features. I use it because I like IE7, and I like blocking ads/flash.
To everyone who gives FireFox credit for tabs, and claims MS stole the idea from them:
FireFox is far from the first browser to have tabs.
InterWorks Browser had tabs in 1994
NetCaptor (an IE Shell, no less) in 1997
IBrowse in 1999
Opera in 2000
Mozilla in 2001
Konqueror in 2003
Safari in 2003
Mozilla began development on FireFox in mid-2003, after all of those. IE was late to the party, but tabs cannot be attributed solely to FireFox.

Only reason I EVER used Firfox was for tabs, as it was the handiest thing online id ever witnessed. Then IE7 came along, and I never went back, Never had a reason to. Firefox does allow for more neat addons, and some speed increases, but IE7 works just fine for me, I dont have ad issue, and I dont have spyware issues. Alot of FF users believe its the greatest thing to ever exist, and turn on IE becuase its not FF, its just silly. Ive used both and prefer IE, even though its favorites system annoys me, but try your options, and then decide, not like their huge downloads
I used to be a huge fanatic of IE6, I really liked it a lot. But then IE7 came out and was such a huge rip-off of Firefox / Opera / all those other good browsers, that I decided to just get the better one. I haven't regretted it since.

lol, so you cut off more than 50% of your traffic just because you don't like IE.w0ls0n wrote:

You realise virtually no one is going to listen to the advice on your site and just not bother visiting, right?
There's nothing wrong with IE7, as long as you're a competent Internet user it suits everyones needs fine.
For the OP, use Opera.
It uses a lot less resources than Firefox and yet comes with more features as standard. Go figure.
Fanboys, 3, 2, 1, fight!
They're all the same really. Except the firefox userbase have to constantly try to rip on people who use IE.

I hate how it hijacks all your file connections (VLC, WinAmp, etc, and any downloadable video/audio opens up in horrifying quality with it instead of downloading!) and simply fucks up and around in your computer.

Are you sure that you're doing it the right way? All you have to do is click yes to save your password, and whenever you want to log in again, click on the login box and hit ctrl+enter.Mitch wrote:

I like Opera, however the extensions are what make FF so good. So I use FF.
Firefox renders pages alot better than IE.
People always talk about FF being secure....
One thing I hate about FF is it will encourage you to let if store your passwords and then (by default *) show all the passwords in clear text (Tools > Options > Security > Show Passwords)
Either in the office or at home this is a bad bad thing.... pop out to take a piss and someone can easily steal all your passwords
* yes you can and should protect with a master password but I'm sure almost no one does

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
With all the addons out now, firefox has ALL the functions of opera, and combined with the "no script" addon, firefox is more secure than Opera too !Computer_Guy wrote:

LOL you blame a skin? all firefox addons are 3rd party... so don't blame the browser for the crappy skin you Dl'edsome_random_panda wrote:
I got firefox once, then added a skin to make it like IE7. However, the skin only worked for Vista so I went back to IE.
