BradM 07-16-2004 05:23 PM

I like firefox because of its diverse plugins, skin options etc.

And I'm not here to argue just my personal preference.

tabs blow me... it's all about IE... just remember IE hasbeen here and will always be here... it won;t be long before people start cracking it

Jace 07-16-2004 05:24 PM

IE for me...i do too much design and would have to open IE every time to check a page anyway, so why bother with anything else

cayne 07-16-2004 05:25 PM

I switched to opera because I got a worm, only because I missed to install one IE update. now I'm using IE only for few plug-in things. but opera and mozilla are better in every point.

Except for the fact that it's open source and exploits will be patched MUCH faster than WinBLOWS Internet Explorer.

Not sure what u mean?

IE as a serious browser was one of the last on the scene

4Pics 07-16-2004 05:27 PM

I use both, but some things i have to use ie for. (Comus Thumbs)

He didn't ask about the companies. He asked about the Browser. :winkwink:

Would be nice to know if your designs look ok on Firefox to...

I like the tabbed browsing and security of Firefox, but IE is much faster.
Whenever Firefox gains to much populairity: 1 it will be the target for virus programmers and 2 MS will release a new IE quickly.

Paul Waters 07-16-2004 05:29 PM

IE is preferred by virus and trojan authors 100-1.......

excatly... gates has the funds and would not even sweat about buying firefox out and making it MS... firefox is hurting for a burger and would sell in a heartbeat if they were really that smart

he cant buy firefox, remember the whole monopoly thing?

---

and i like both equaly, atm i am surfing with IE because i find pages look better,

Mozilla is much faster for me though, so there is pros and cons on both. :Graucho

TurboTrucker 07-16-2004 05:33 PM

I like Opera, it's much more efficient for surfing the web than IE. I still use IE sometimes because some things I use don't display properly in Opera. Firefox I didn't like.

candyflip 07-16-2004 05:33 PM

I use AvantBrowser for testing my pages in IE. Most of the time it just sits idle in the task bar. Has a lot of the same features that Firefox has.

http://www.avantbrowser.com

jimmyf 07-16-2004 05:34 PM

it's all about security, if or when Mozilla Foxfire get un-security then I'll switch 2 something else. After all it's just a fucking browser, a tool. And the last time I checked, I had never fell in love with a Tool. :Graucho

Who says they're hurting? They look stronger than ever to me! There's room for more sharks in the water. Make room for Mozilla!

Isn't it obvious that more webmasters choose browsers other than IE? It's probably for a few good reasons. Stop believing in Corporate America so much!

KRL 07-16-2004 05:38 PM

Opera is the most full featured browser on the market.

I absolutely love it and endorse it 100% over IE.

Stop being such a Bush! I'll be a democrat long after I have money flowing out of my ass and silver dollars flying out of my ears. Besides...this is about technology and safe surfing...not dollars! :glugglug

You only count as 1 vote Dirty. Sit back, relax and start using Firefox.

Just because IE is owned by the biggest software company doesn't in any way make it better than other browsers....

FireFox :thumbsup

I'm not putting down IE or Firefox. I've got those both on all my PC's now. They are what they are. But of the three I've gotten totally hooked on all the cool features Opera has.

I'm a very picky person when it comes to my PC's. Somedays I work 14 hours a day online and therefor I demand the very best software to maximize my productivity and also enjoyment while working long hours at a stretch.

Opera ROCKS! And that's the bottom line for me.

Thrawn$ 07-16-2004 06:06 PM

I can't use IE anymore

Vitasoy 07-16-2004 06:10 PM

I've been using IE for years, but firefox, opera is also great. I use IE a bit more then the others cause I'm more used to it

n3in 07-16-2004 06:13 PM

I've always been an IE user, but I may make the switch soon because ive heard so many good things about firefox.

Tom_PMs 07-16-2004 06:13 PM

I havent found a personally compelling reason to switch from IE yet. However the night is still young.

According to my server logs, still over 85.8% of my visitors are on IE still. That number is trending down, but still pretty significant.

mozilla still accounts for 1% maybe 2% of traffic on the net. it is a pain in the ass to write code for it. they used to be good but they got stupid.

ie sucks also but 99 to 98% of people use it plus it comes with your OS so why install some other shit that installs more shit and plug ins.

tabs ahhh whatever if you have a good box you can do away with new windows.

As far as worms and updates. duh you have to keep an eye on your box. it is not like a car that you run untill it dies you have to do oil changes. people always complain about Windows because of updates and crap.

Check out MAC stil 1 or 2% of the world use it and even less programs are made for it.

I know bill is the devil but why fight when you can join them hehe.

Maybe you haven't heard of Spyware, Browser hiJacks and auto install trojans. The shit that gets installed just by visiting a page or loading a counter which is insane. That's why I made the switch and that's why many others have as well. As far as 98%-99% using IE, that number is pretty skewed. I'd say it's somewhere in the 80's or even slightly lower.

People who NEED a clean computer generally tend to lean towards a safer browser like Firefox Opera, etc.
