People, use Mozilla for fuck's sake
 
It is superior to IE, has more options, a powerful popup stopper, a potent and learning spam filter, it's more secure, little flaws and it's fast. No more activeX dialer shit, no more auto scripts that fuck your default homepage and add millions of links in your bookmarks. Not to mention its email client that is brilliant.

Download it for free here.

:thumbsup


P.S. Or use Firebird if you prefer the broswer only.

GFED 09-29-2003 11:39 PM

but is takes forrrrreverrrrr to load....

JDog 09-29-2003 11:39 PM

that is not true. I run the 1.5beta and it loads just as fast as IE. Granted, the Quick Launch is enabled, but that's nothing else than what MS is doing with its IE to speed up the execution.

Not to mention that Mozilla has a superior CSS support.

Tabbed browsing is the best invention since the wheel. :winkwink:

yea mozilla is getting their shit together.. it used to be slow and buggy a while ago..

extreme 09-29-2003 11:54 PM

mmmmm, tabs.

Got 1 tab-bookmark that opens all my sponsors statspages + gfy. Usually what I start out with in the morning =).

Third world half ass garbage? Take your beef back to the stone age where you came from.

And I will laugh at you each time some Outlook/IE exploit will rip you a new poo hole.

That's things of the past that have been fixed thoroughly.

Matt_WildCash 09-30-2003 12:08 AM

1. its not built into the operating system (therefore not standard)

2. its slow as shit, takes more than 2-3 seconds to open on our 2.5 ghz 1 gig ram machine. IE6 takes .5 of a second to load fully.

3. mpegs and wmv's don't seem to play or work half the time or require custom netscape codes to get them working, flash is buggy as shit in mozilla or hard to install.

4. Netscape used to be better and faster, but IE6 is about as perfect as it gets, almost never crashes, is super fast and not bloated. Would prefur a better bookmark favorites folder (better control would be nice) but thats about the only thing thats not perfect

live with your horse blinders.... wallow in your tunnel vision.... exist in your utopian dreamworld where everyone uses Mozilla.


and in the meantime, the rest of us back here in the fucking real world will accept what IS, and profit from it.

Use whatever makes you feel good dude..... but know the difference between what makes YOU comfortable, and what the rest of the fucking world is operating with.


that's what separates the men from the boys.

Does integration into the OS mean it's a standard? Is Word not a 'standard' for word processing? Is it included? No. ICQ or AIM are almost standards for online real time chatting, are they included? No.

I don't see your point.

Granted, it takes 2-3 seconds to fully load, but it takes a split of a second to open another tab, which you can cycle through like you were using another IE window.

Do you play your MPEGs and WMVs in IE? I dunno about you, but I use Windows Media Player or other players to show those vids. And Mozilla sure knows very well how to execute the common file extensions.

Do you live in 1996? Sure, Netscape once used to be faster than IE, but in fact, I don't know why you bring this up. Mozilla is not Netscape.

And if you think that IE is flawless, you probably don't use it as much.

... mozilla prob. isn't slower to load then IE. The thing is that IE autoloads into memory every time you start windows. So when you think windows taking a long time to start up you can thank microsoft for forcing IE into memory for you =). Mozilla has an autoload feature too, difference is that Mozillas is optional.

Ppl should learn to code correct HTML ;]. IE beeing to nice on bad HTML is prob. partly to blame for all the incorrect HTML out there .. ("hey, it looked good in IE, why should I change anything").

Wouldn't know about them .. I do know you can stop alot of stupid j-a-v-a-s-c-r-i-p-t stuff in moz though, like popups, windows movement/resizing, check the options.

The Truth Hurts 09-30-2003 12:17 AM

If you love IE, and wish you had a built in popup stopper and tabbed windows, and all those other bells and whistles for the simple, check out Avant..

Something that will never fucking happen? Do you have any idea about the increasing popularity of open source software in general? And why do you think more and more free browsers are adopting the Mozilla cores?

Me? Horse blinders? I took mine off at the second when I realized how much of a pile of crap this product was, that Microsoft had forced me to use with their OS, because it came preinstalled and as an essential part of the OS as well. Wouldn't you think the one that doesn't look out for good alternatives it the one with the horse blinders?

How do you profit more than me who uses Mozilla? It's free. I did not pay a cent for it.

And if you think you're the man just because you are trying to get into an argument with me over something that I am not trying to sell anyone, but simply support (because I think it's a good product), then I suggest you lay your egotrip from Hooper's thread aside and go grab a cold one from the fridge. :drinkup

Nima 09-30-2003 12:25 AM

I been using IE forever now and I am way too used to it. Iknow it is a peace of crap browser but I can't let go of it LOL

I tried to use Opera but couldn't stand the options and thelook of it no matter how it looked. If omeone was able to makeit as similar to IE as possible with better functioning Iould use it but that willnot happen :(

tonkagunner 09-30-2003 12:28 AM

not too shabby. Mozilla firebird still doesn't seem to handle plugins like IE does. It still isn't showing Gofuckyourself flash ads. I try and install flash but can't figure it out. I'll stick with IE until Mozilla gets easier.

I did not try Firebird on this machine, but the full Mozilla installed the plugin without giving me trouble. As easy as 1-2-3.

Did I mention that it supports skins as well? :Graucho

flashfreak 09-30-2003 12:41 AM

I used to use mozilla few months ago.
for some reason it hates my new PC, I've installed it and when I click on the icon my comp loads smth (I can see the hdd led flashing 10seconds) and nothing happens...

quiet 09-30-2003 12:43 AM

people, use Safari for fuck sakes ;)

Nima 09-30-2003 01:31 AM

netscape is better than IE but I still hate that shit

joshuawk 09-30-2003 01:37 AM

opera from www.opera.com is 500 times better than internet explorer.

ie is for fucking pussy clots

Yup.

And when you get mozilla firebird, be sure to go to http://googlebar.mozdev.org and grab the google toolbar :)

Also replace your Outlook/Outlook Express for mozilla thunderbird. :thumbsup

TheJimmy 09-30-2003 01:45 AM

been a fan of mozilla and ns for years...

:thumbsup :thumbsup

netscape is gay

they should call it
homoscape

aimar78 09-30-2003 03:06 AM

Fuck IE & Mozilla.

Opera is just the best browser out there.

iroc409 09-30-2003 03:24 AM

i used opera for a couple months, didn't like it. especially the whole "slo-motion gif" thing.

i love firebird. it has both the html strictness every browser deserves, and even supports a few previously IE-only thingies.

IE is is crap. it can't even render html properly.

i didn't really like regular mozilla, but it was just because of the user interface. the one i downloaded had the netscape 7 buttons VERY poorly cut+paste on the traditional mozilla browser. it was so tacky they didn't even bother to match the colors. i hope they fixed that.

iroc409 09-30-2003 03:25 AM

oh yeah, and firebird without any of the graphicy interface is pretty nice as well. makes the browser very compact as far as real estate goes. sure, no fancy graphics, but its nicer IMHO

Well, designers should still keep IE around just because 90% of the net uses IE.

The exploits and vulnerabilities on IE are enough to get me to stay away from it for casual surfing from now on.

SomeCreep 09-30-2003 03:39 AM

eh, maybe if it came with windows, too lazy to download that shit

ugh, don't remind me. i have to check my work with IE because of its bullshit.

you can write a 100% standardized html document with perfect code, and there's fairly decent chance that IE won't render it properly.
