I've been trying out new browsers this week. Tested Opera and now I'm working with Firefox.. The biggest "comaplaint" so far is that when I installed it, the pop-up blocker was defaulted to ON!!! That's going to be lost revenue for a lot of people.
Why the fuck do people think Firefox is better than IE?

Firefox doesn't have as many known security holes as IE, that should be good enough reason to switch...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

Firefox loads 10 x faster then IE here . Dunno WTF is your problem . Show me the whole benchmark thing because I dont beleive it ...Originally posted by michaelw
Im getting sick to my fucking stomach reading all these biased threads going on and on about how Firefox is a gift from above
Firefox fucking SUCKS. I cannot believe that people who obviously are pretty advanced when it comes to the internet and windows believe that firefox is awesome.
It takes firefox fucking forever to load up, at least 3-4 times as long as IE - and im on a AMD 2700+CPU with 512MB ddr, so dont give me bullshit that its just my shitty PC. Theres been benchmark after benchmark, showing consistently that IE renders pages faster than firefox, loads faster, even renders hahahahahahahahahahas better and faster. Not to mention that the webbrowser control for developers is a dream to work with, unlike mozillas POS gecko.
So tell me, firefox users, are you truly retarded? perhaps you just choose the browser because it makes you feel like rebels (using something other than microsofts clearly superior program) in the little nerdy world you live in? Or perhaps you despise success and will only run firefox because it isnt made by MICRO$HAFT?
I seriously dont get it. If you want an alternative to IE, at least fucking use Opera which is also much faster and better than firefox.
Do yourself a favor you idiots, go get MyIE2. Its fucking amazing. You can have dozens of tabs open, and the browser doesnt get even a bit laggy. I cannot imagine what would happen if i had like even 6 tabs open in firefox, what a POS browser. MyIE2 has mouse gestures, plugins, amazing drag and drop capabilities, loads as fast as IE, popup blocking, neat tabs.. its got it all.
Also tabbed browswer really own .
Opera takes 10x the memory of firefox ...Originally posted by rayadp05I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?Comment

I'm using Opera and IE. I have Firefox installed but between that and Opera, as an alternative browser Opera wins hands down.
You have to take your time and explore all the features. They are quite numerous and impressive. There is a bit to learn with it, but the more you use it the more you like it.

Have you figured out if there's a way to have Opera put a thin "box" around the links you click on just like IE, netscape and firefox do? It drives me crazy.Originally posted by KRL

You might also choose to promote some program you claim to work for and that pays you fat cash, or cheddar, or whatever it is you wiggers call it these days.Comment

The vast majority of exploits, spyware, adware, malware, etc are targetted at IE. You can pretty much surf the web safely with full functionality with firefox and not have to worry about getting fucked.
It also takes up way less memory than IE does. Firefox opens pretty much instantly for me. So does IE. Both certainly open in well under a second.
I also see very little difference in page rendering times. If there is any difference at all, either way, it's negligible.
I like it. That's why i use it.26 + 6 = 1Comment

- popupblocking and fast googlesearch without any extra toolbar taking up space
- tabbed browsing
- secure
- cool plugins:
http://update.mozilla.org/extensions...cation=firefox
nice for html coders:
http://update.mozilla.org/extensions...x&id=60&vid=63
adblock is sweet as well, get the latest build from:
http://adblock.mozdev.org/dev.html
- usable without the mouse (just start to type the first letters from a linktext and it will jump to hit, then hit enter) .. it grows on you for certain sitiuations.
- small, fast, follows/supports standards like various HTMLversions and PNG, open sourceLast edited by extreme; 07-03-2004, 07:13 PM.Comment

The first time you load it.Originally posted by michaelw

Reboot, load it, close it & load it again. It'll pop right up.
Microsoft probably keeps (or uses) part of IExplorer.exe in memory via explorer.exe.
There's also security bulletin after security bulletin showing that malicious hackers can consistently render your machine useless (if you like it to be secure anyway).Originally posted by michaelw Theres been benchmark after benchmark, showing consistently that IE renders pages faster than firefox, loads faster, even renders hahahahahahahahahahas better and faster.
I'll trade a few milliseconds here or there in page rendering time to dodge the next IE critical vulnerability, thanks.

Alot of us retardted Firefox users use firefox because its open source and it's timeliness of security and other bug fixes aren't subject to how much public knowlege and/or negative press or the corporation is getting over the bug.
MyIE2 looks cool. DonateWare is nice. But to me it would be like sticking a pretty flower in a steaming pile of manure.Comment

Mike...
The easy way to demonstrate why so many people use FireFox (was Firebird) is to show a cumulative list of security vulnerabilities of IE vs Mozilla/FireBird/Firefox during roughly the same time period.

Is having 3 GMT.exe processes running bad?Originally posted by vending_machine
Your spyware could very well have been installed without an exploit, through a software you downloaded or even through IE if you still use it from time to time. As far as I know there are no exploits in Mozilla/Firefox that will let someone install spyware. Have you tried AdAware http://lavasoft.de? If that fails, hit ALT+CTRL+DELETE, and check out what's running in your processlist. Do a search on Google for each one that seems suspicious and see what turns up.

The reason IE is exploited so much more than anything else is directly related to how much more widely distributed and used IE is compared to anything else.
Arguing that IE is exploited so much because it sucks so bad is like trying to argue that the reason that automobiles break down so much more than horse-drawn carriages is because of how shitty all automobiles are.
just felt like putting 2 cents in.Comment

I don't know what this guys is talking about. Of course IE loads faster since it's shareing some of the libraries with the shell which gets loaded every time you boot your computer. Shitty argument he made...
I use firefox because of the way it handles bookmarks. If you even attempt to make an argument that the way IE manages your 'Favorites' is supperior then you're fucked. It's and ancient browser that's in desparate need of a gui overhaul.Comment

that's most likely a small part of the reason, but far from the major part. Microsoft has always gone for easy of use over security. You can make the same comparison between MS IIS and Apache. Apache is bigger, but IIS has had tons of very serious flaws and bugs. Microsoft haven't been concerned with security.. maybe it's changing now, but it seems like it takes 99% of the earths online population to get infected and owned by IE exploits for them to react and promise they'll make it more secure. They suck.Originally posted by Tom_PM

And it not only the tons of securityflaws that's found, it's the fucking time it takes for microsoft to release a workaround patch, sometimes months, sometimes not at all, it's sick. There's even pages dedicated to all the unpatched IEbugs that microsoft just didn't cared about to fix. Way to go.
Either they dont care or they cant actually find the root of the problems cause the IEcode is so messy. Or both.Comment

I agree with that, extreme..
My first copy of windows is/was Windows 286.. And it was always buggy for sure. The days of making good code were over, and the idea of releasing "patches" was born..
I do think that if it was a small timer though that it would be largely ignored. In any case, I'm cool with as many browsers as possible. I try to make simple HTML thats as backwards compatible as possible, hehe ;)Comment

Everything to lock the users to their technologie and make it harder to use alternatives.
How anyone conducting onlinebiz can code IEonly pages today is beyond me. It's like saying they dont care about 10-15% (potentially alot more if it's webmaster traffic) of their traffic. Possible revenue down the shitter?Comment

He pasted old bugs for both browsers so it seems fair to me? IE users usually have to wait weeks or months for securitypatches. Sometimes longer, only to find out a new bug using a slighty different attack angle on the same bug is exploiting them the next week cause of the lameness of the patch. Or just something totally new.Originally posted by Wilber

It doesn't need much strengthening? Long time ago there's been so much built up evidence that a certain piece of software is a heap of junk security/patchwise? Sure some patches have been released fast, alot haven't. There's been pages dedicated to IEbugs going unpatched for months. Way to go MS.Originally posted by Wilber

There is nothing wrong with M$ nor IE. If you think installing a third party
browser is going to save you from the Web your living in fantasy-land.
An operating system (server or client) is only as good as the guy config'in it.
If your getting your ass slapped then quite blaming the developer and look
to the real problem which has always been, and will always be, between the
chair and the monitor.

No I dont think a thirdparty browser is going to 100% ensure me from from beeing exploited using client holes. I've coded alot of securityrellated apps in the past and know my way around computersecurity, *nix, firewalls, blah. Knew about the old mozilla java exploit long before it was public ;).
But Im pretty convinced that IE is a pile of crap securitywise. And serious bugs going unpatched for a longer period of time is just not defendable no matter how you look at it.
Sure, no apps are bugfree, but there's a pretty clear trend over the years in IEs case, fucking nightmare securityhistory. Shees, even CERT is starting to talk about switching to alternative browsers. Open your eyes.
"Quit blaming the developer"? Right, I agree, why blame microsoft if you're getting owned cause of their lowsecurity browser, everyone is free to choose right? And that's what I've done.
Booing them? Hell ye.
Nice discussion in either case. Im out for the night.Comment

I remember still using Netscape 3.0 long after it had gone out of style......
IE is the target of everything because it is the defacto standard for browsers. If Firefox was to become the most commonly used browser they would quicklky become the target of the assholes who write adware/spyware/viruses.

Go get'em Juicy..
I tried FirFox, it does blow compaired to IE..
And I don't know what all the damn problems is with IE that everyone has. I honestly can run a spyware program right now and it will only come up with cookies and I haven't checked in weeks.
Maybe because I set IE up how I want rather than run it from the default, popup bloker is on and I have a linksys firewall.
I honestly, NEVER have problems with IE.
Could be I don't surf porn.. Seems lots of porn surfers get all kinds of fucked up shit on their machines.
Get a linksys firewall, so even if you do get spyware, your computer will be safe.

I like firefox , I tried opera and didnt like the interface. With so much bullshit with ie, its worth giving it a try and so far I like it alot. I like the way its set up and havent come across any sites I had a problem looking at. In fact today I switched my parents to it , they are always getting pop ups that change their home page and some really nasty trojans.Last edited by tony286; 07-04-2004, 09:27 PM.Comment
