Jeremy Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Always used IE, basically because I can't be arsed to install an alternative. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Wow, now THAT is laziness or paranoia...but I respect your choice... sort of... ok, not really.

Andromeda43 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 The really only good reason for installing a second browser (in my case, FF) is because MS just can't make I.E. safe.Using I.E. is like using a screen door to keep out a hurricane. Firefox is the first (maybe, of many) open source programs to hit the general populace.The day they released Ver 1.0, they downloaded over a million copies of the program.Since then, they have downloaded over 60 million.It's still under revision. We're up to ver 1.06 now. (I think)In every revision it becomes more secure and more compatible.It's a lot like me......a great work in progress.Cheers,Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 The problem is.......I.E. has never been "Fine"...It's a security nightmare. Just look at all the "Fixes" that MS has issued over the past few year to fix "holes" in I.E. It's absolutely Scandalous, Rediculous and Obsurd!If any other company in the world had that many problems with their "product", they would have been backrupt and out of business years ago.Only because MS writes our one and only OS, do they get away with it. Think about it.I removed the icon for I.E. from my desktop a long time ago. Firefox is not only my Browser of choice, but it's my only browser. I know I.E. is still down there in the ol' HD someplace, but,,,,,"Out of Sight,,,Out of Mind"....I do love it that way.....Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egon's Dragon Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 So, I'm thinking of switching from IE, as it has security holes and is a resource hog for my old Celeron 500 laptop. I'm sure the alternative browsers are better security-wise, but what about resources? And, a very important consideration for me: we have tons of IE favorites/bookmarks. Can I simply transfer them to these other browser programs? Finally, does Windows Update work with the other browsers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redder Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I believe that Mozilla is faster than Firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Opera, many people say it's too bulky and stuff. But the interface is fully customizable. It is as fast as an "optimized" through pipelining Mozilla Firefox. It has everything built in, so there are no needs to go to some other website to get. It's more secure than any browser available to the public, and it has a whole bunch of great things in it that the Mozilla Suite can't compete with.

CAFSimoes Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Opera 99% of the time. Internet Explorer 1% just for windows and office updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Press any key Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0.5112.0 Beta 1 (Stand alone - not Vista Beta version)------------------------------------------------- *Going quite well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I like the speed of Firefox and use it most often, like all the plug-ins available too. I also like Maxthon, the tabbed browsing within Maxthon seems to be better to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter phillips Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I prefer to use Firefox due to its key features like its download speed, a superior user interface, SSL and pop up blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
