IE vs. Firefox ....
 

I'm curious how many of us are using Firefox or another browser instead of IE. Please post what you are using...and if you have the extra 10 seconds post why. Thanks.

FF, because I like the ability to add the useful plug ins.

I don't like the way that IE implemented the tabbed browsing. If you try to middle click home, or other buttons outside of the main browsing window, it won't work like it does in FF.

FF .. all the way.

First because of plugins stuff, second its more secure and crashes less then retard IE. Also, IE is targeted more by the trojan and shit makers...

firefox ... bump

I use seamonkey because it is firefox but with a html editor and mail all in 1 program, I think it is great. I dunno why other webmasters don't use it. Anyone else? :321GFY

IE but i find most webmasters choose Fire Fox. I dont like the way it loads (mainly the way images appear while its loading). I have OCD and that fucks me up. Shame because it seems like the better browser :(

Btw Netscape's new browser is fucking awesome. You can render pages as FF OR IE, which I find VERY useful.

FF !

Tomud

thats pretty cool, hows their social bullshit intergration?

Like the input everybody! I've never heard of seamonkey and I didn't know netscapes new browser rendered both. Learned something new, glad I posted this. :)

FF for me :thumbsup

FF for me, it just simply works.

FF all the way :thumbsup

ff for me, i use IE only for testing my sites....

FF!!!

I have a Firefox sponsorship and they keep me stocked with free browsers, so it makes sense for me to use them.

I use IE6.0, FF, and Opera

FF. I think IE still has the default homepage still on it. I Haven't used IE in months.

I was using Firefox because of the tabbed browsing and the fact that it hardly crashed. I know IE now has tabbed browsing but it still crashes and I hate it.

Firefox all the way

Firefox :)

One more bump for FF. But I still use IE for some task.

Firefox for the win

100% FireFox! Internet Explorer is a plague on this Internet land. Most people use IE because it's the default browser on their PC (I use a Mac, but that's another discussion) and aren't aware that other browsers even exist.

Let's not even get into Web Standards compliant browsers and the importance of standards.

Oh yeah the plug ins/add ons are incredible as well, especially the Web Developer Toolbar and SEOpen Toolbar.

FF. One less Microsoft product that I'm forced to use.

There is a guy on here, I won't mention any names but he goes by SetTheWorldOnFire, he still uses IE.. I don't think we should hold that against him as he is a good personal friend of mine.

firefox for sure :thumbsup

only firefox

Browsers - Percent
MS Internet Explorer - 62.2 %
Firefox - 20 %
Unknown - 7.7 %
Safari - 3.9 %
Opera - 2.2 %
Netscape - 2.1 %
Mozilla - 1.1 %
Sony/Ericsson Browser (PDA/Phone browser) - 0.1 %
Others - 0.1 %

I prefer FF as well - cant get infected, cant see popups, don't see ads. Used IE once by mistake and surfed around and got inflected in 30 seconds.

Firefox is addictive ;)

Actually that's not correct. FF has lots of holes an it CAN be infected. However it's still much safer than IE.

Opera is even more safe BTW, but... it supports torrents :winkwink:

≈ Firefox 100% ≈

IE6/7 and Opera only to check code rendering during design.

FF less crashes

FF !!

There is no other browser except Firefox.

Another nice thing about FF is the restore session feature if it crashes.

IE and Opera..

No problems with IE here aside from Flash crashing every so often. Never had those problems before Adobe bought Macromedia.

firefox, searchstatus and adblock with the HOSTS file trick keeps my surfing pretty clean

FireFox addons rocks. And the stability is the best.

You're mistaken.

There is more than one.

Hence the poll option of this thread.

HOSTS file trick? Please elaborate, if you don't mind.

Opera for the last 3+ years, just trying using firefox from 2.0+ since they got the huge memory use shit sorted out, 1.5 sucked ass big time. :2 cents:

I like FF. Uses lesser mem than IE.

SearchStatus rocks, i'm using this addons too:

Who the hell voted for IE ??

Avant Browser :thumbsup

I have the latest FF and IE and I use them sometimes.

....Ready for the shocker?

Netscape 7.2 (several years old)! So much faster then both FF and IE, at least for me.
