Do You Use FireFox or Internet Explorer?
 
What is the general concensus?

MetaMan 11-24-2004 04:40 PM

firefox,

the tabbed browsing is just much better than anything else out there, its has also never been owned.

Sosa 11-24-2004 04:40 PM

still on IE.

Paul 11-24-2004 04:44 PM

I use Maxthon

StuartD 11-24-2004 04:45 PM

mozilla

jukeboxfrank 11-24-2004 04:45 PM

IE for me all the way.......

abadfish 11-24-2004 04:48 PM

Mac/Safari... tabbed browsing, popup blocker, faster then IE... IE for PC is much better then the mac version!

tony286 11-24-2004 04:55 PM

firefox rules

skillfull 11-24-2004 04:56 PM

firefox

Mike Okitch 11-24-2004 05:03 PM

Firefox dammit!

Tabbed browsing, cool themes to change at will, radio, google search handy, no pop up, no shitware, etc...

If they had an affiliate program, I'd pimp the shit out of it

Doctor Dre 11-24-2004 05:03 PM

I couldn't live without firefox

It looks like Firefox is taking the lead. I may have to install it.

Illicit 11-24-2004 05:34 PM

Once you go firefox you never go back

sickkittens 11-24-2004 05:36 PM

Why is Firefox so much better than IE? (For those that used both)

SpikeHeel 11-24-2004 06:12 PM

firefox, you can open many tabs and not prone to pop up viruses.

Webmaster_Logic 11-24-2004 06:13 PM

Firefox all the way no more shit ie for me :glugglug

Rawz 11-24-2004 06:20 PM

Both some sites are screwy in Firefox especially some stats programs .

rml1608 11-24-2004 06:53 PM

Those of you using FireFox - Try Maxthon seriously !!!

Furious_Male 11-24-2004 06:57 PM

Tabbed browsing

No spyware

No adware

No malware

None of the crap ending in "ware" that you don't want and can think of.

No popups

Easy to customize, has different themes so you can give your browser the look you want.

There's even an FTP extension on it.

Those guys have been thinking of everything.

It's also slightly faster for browsing and the Homeland Security Department has said that Mozilla based browser (such as Firefox) are safer.

It's free and I'd recommend that anyone who hasn't tried it just test it out.

The one argument against it, if there where one is that it takes more ram. But it's nothing that will kill a decent machine.

Good rundown on why Firefox is better. But you forgot, in my opinion one of the biggest reasons it's better: extensions. You can install, even write, extensions that do practically anything which makes Firefox 100% customizable. Firefox all the way!!! :thumbsup

Downloading now. I don't like Firefox much - being using K-Meleon for years.

Paco, of Large Cash. 11-24-2004 07:28 PM

Mo's Firefox (0.8) - rock solid and does not fail me (with the exception of the crash happy release 1.0).

Just downloaded it. I used to use it when it was called MyIE2, but have since switched to Firefox. Maybe I'll start using Maxthon again though; I really do like it.

Vitasoy 11-24-2004 07:32 PM

I use firefox 80% of the time now.

Project-Shadow 11-24-2004 07:33 PM

Crashes every 10 min, freezes, it's 2 times slower than K-Meleon, etc
I've heard good things about Maxthon (ex myIE2) and I'm going to give it a try.

polish_aristocrat 11-24-2004 07:37 PM

IE, never use anything else.

I use my browser 7hours/day and I've been using Mozilla/Firebird/Firefox since Mozilla RC1 and it hasn't crashed since Mozilla 1.0 final.

In fact, I've never ever had a severe system crash since Windows 2000.

You must have a shitty machine with shitty drivers and shitty configuration.

Living For Today 11-24-2004 07:50 PM

I use mozilla 90% of the time. There is the odd site it doesn't agree with and I am forced to pull out IE but only when necessary.

fris 11-24-2004 07:50 PM

ie of course, loyal to MS

Nasty D 11-24-2004 07:56 PM

98% of the time Firefox

Tabs:glugglug

lol
I'm not tlaking about system crash, I'm talking about Firefox crashing every ten nimutes. If you use your browser 7 hours a day to surf GFY you'll have no problems at all with Firefox, but when you use it to get some work done (opening 20 tabs at the same time, changing options when a page loads etc), you my friend are for big surprise. Do yourself a favour, download K-Meleon, and then we'll talk again.

I don't surf all day on GFY and I am a tab whore. Usual setup: 6 Firefox windows, each with around 5 tabs. Sometimes upto 40 tabs when I'm going through pics using Linky extension (http://linky.mozdev.org/)

I've used K-Meleon before, but it is a pretty much dead project. Last official release (v0.8.2) was in 2003!
