I stopped using IE completely. Opera wasn't worthy replacement but Firefox sure is
 
With the exception of StatsRemote's use of IE, I am now 99% using firefox.
Currently the main rig. has been running for a week, with the browser left open - heavy use, like 30+ windows open, and not a single problem. I'm very satisfied.

Welcome to the club you will never go back...

Corleone 12-30-2004 11:35 AM

same here.. I love fire fox

+ you should replace outlook with thunderbird.. the spam filter is great :)

PSGuru 12-30-2004 11:36 AM

I like Opera better just for the mouse gestures, makes browsing real easy :)

psili 12-30-2004 11:37 AM

Ctrl+click, Ctrl+tab -- I love tabbed browsing.

I still get a glitch on embedded videos and an error being thrown when I close the browser, but that's about the only problem.

bignasty 12-30-2004 11:38 AM

I agree, I love firefox, only thing I use IE for anymore is just to see how my sites look in them since most people still use it.

TheFrog 12-30-2004 11:40 AM

im thinking about switching from opera myself

xlogger 12-30-2004 11:59 AM

ya im using firefox 100% now.

Shooter 12-30-2004 12:03 PM

Is there anything special about Firefox besides tabbed browsing? I've been using Crazy Browser for a while now and it has that too.

Downloading now...

mortenb 12-30-2004 12:41 PM

Check out the extensions library. Firefox has tons of really cool extensions that does just about anything.

I use Firefox for all my surfing except my online banking. My banks software was built specifically for IE.

I LOVE Firefox :thumbsup

pxxx 12-30-2004 12:43 PM

I couldn't agree with you anymore.

I am 100% firefox, i had one use for IE, but i was able to get it working with firefox, so IE is dropped.

Checking them out now, nice looking stuff :)

And the increased speed in loading pages was already enough to make me happy :)

Paco, of Large Cash. 12-30-2004 12:51 PM

Yup ... Mo's Firefox rocks! With the exception of Nutscraper 7.2, I use no other, unless forced to check compatibility issues.
IE sucks ASS, and not very well!

KRL 12-30-2004 12:52 PM

100% Firefox

MickeyG 12-30-2004 01:58 PM

firefox crashes on me every once in awhile. That and how do you make it play a .wmv file instead of downloading it first?

justfreemovies 12-30-2004 02:00 PM

me too firefox rox

nofx 12-30-2004 02:01 PM

dling firefox now.

i've been using Opera for the past few months, i'm going to see if i like Firefox better.

azguy 12-30-2004 02:01 PM

Yep, I'm also with Firefox for over a month now.

More Booze 12-30-2004 02:03 PM

Ah, I love these firefox-threads. They are always filled with so much firefox-love. ;)

Firefox roXX, thats for sure!

tigerallenyim 12-30-2004 02:18 PM

I've been using Opera for quite some time now. And it rocks! Heard firefox is awesome, but haven't found many things that would me switch over from Opera to firefox. But hey, anything but IE! :thumbsup

"DONT BLAME IE FOR YOUR IGNORANCE!"
lol.

mastermikex 12-30-2004 02:51 PM

firefox definitely rocks, especially with the Noia theme...i even have an extension that tells me the weather and temperature right on the top toolbar....the only thing i don't like about firefox is the download manager...everytime i save a picture or something, it pops up...kinda annoying

It's funny though... the vast majority of the download sites start by using mirror sites and they do automated md5 checks to ensure file integrity. A digital sig does not automatically insure that a windows app hasnt been modified (depending on the signing settings) and frankly I would be surprised if the errors he had weren't because of spyware that IE let through. He doesnt understand obviously that the VAST majority of spyware / malware that is installed either comes in nicely signed packages or through lameass activex holes that they never bother to plug. I had an un filewalled sp2 ie for about 45 minutes after I got my new machine. It had TWO searchbars within that 45 minutes. I finally found the UNINSTALL IE instructions out there and since then I have had ZERO spyware. I dont even bother to run my scanners more than once a week and NONE of my scanners have found anything but cookies since then. (11 hours after ie was first run-to downlaod firefox and get one other app I scanned with s&d and had 97 traces of actual spyware. fucking ie)

try tools > options > downloads fromthe left pane> Download Manger un check mark it.

brand0n 12-30-2004 03:02 PM

what i dont understand is why dont spyware and shit like that redirect to the proper exploit page? im sure there has got to be something for firefox+ opera and any other browser you could find.

mikesouth 12-30-2004 03:30 PM

Firefox 100%

What impresses me is that in less than 2 months Firefox has captured 25% of the browser market...thats solid and its a testament to just how good firefox is and how shitty IE is

tungsten 12-30-2004 04:27 PM
