I've been using Firefox for about a few months now. It's fucking awesome. I love the built in popup blocking and tabbed browsing and it's MUCH more secure than IE. It looks awesome with the NOIA Extreme skin for it. Firefox 0.9 OWNS!! Looking forward to 1.0

I'll believe it when i see it.

Till now my stats tell me otherwise

ROFL netscape in the early days ??? Where are you from ... You really arent no old schooler ...

1st : Netscape OWNED the market BADLY before internet explorer got built in windows . They sued m$ for uncompetitive marketing or something like that but it was already too late .

Netscape was the first real browser ...

And Firefox is way better then IE as for now .

I made the switch a pair of months ago and the true is it has been a good choice!..

Mozilla will probably never have the market that IE does simply because IE is "part" of Windows. The average doofus will not download and Mozilla - Firefox - Netscape.

So . . . no worries about virus writers.

Nevertheless, I do recommend Mozilla - Firefox to everyone. Patches do take time and while you're waiting for Microsoft your computer is sitting wide open to malicious hackers.

If you are running Firefox 0.9, I highly recommend this theme. Install it and check it out! I've looked at em all and they suck compared to this one:

Just switched to Firefox, pretty sweet

It's always hard when you're used to using something for years and then have to switch, but so far so good.

How do you make ALT tags show up in little boxes so you can easily see them?

crockett · 07-02-2004, 03:35 PM

well I'm sure other browsers will become much more popular after this annoucment...

Homeland security is telling people not to use IE, because there are too many exploits. They are recommending you you other browsers than IE.

MS has an obligation to get the fixes out very quickly.

Yeah, I know the feeling.
Took me a couple of weeks to start surfing with Avantbrowser instead of IE.
I did know it was alot better but I had to force myself to use it anyway. Its a wierd feeling.

No way ... FF imports all your favorites, cookies, history from IE

tabbed browsing suuuucks - no idea why people are going crazy over it.

Yes I think you can, but not in a easy way.

Big Cheese · 07-02-2004, 04:21 PM

Firefox is great. Go with 0.8 if you can though. I've had more problems viewing pages with 0.9.

the real magoo · 07-02-2004, 04:38 PM
