i couldnt stand tab browsing. my resolutions 1400x1050 having one single web page open is just foolish im usually running 4 nicely arranged. cant really complain about how system heavy it is, my P3 500mhz machine runs 10's of pages at once with little slowdown, if any at all.
ive never been hacked anyways. Zone Alarms keeps me safe. nothing to steal of this computer anyways unless you want some MP3's or whatever. i worry the sanity of anyone wanting to get into my 'backdoor'.
Well that's a good point, however, both IE and Firefox are designed for the same thing: to browse the net. One of them does it alot better than the other though. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with IE, but Firefox gets the job done so much quicker and easier. It's not as if you have to pay for it either, just a few minutes to download and install and thats it.

I use a combination, IE when I'm just browsing places like TDC and Firefox when I'm looking at places that I know are annoying & spywared.
In my opinion, I used to use FireFox when my Internet Explorer screwed up, but once I managed to fix it thanks to SP2. I dont use FireFox anymore, I dont like it, nor will I. Its just a bunch of useless stress. You are always fixing it up so that it looks & works better, & always saying to yourself "All I need to do is a few things here, a few things here, & this will be the perfect web browser." (2 months later) "All I need to do is a few things here, a few things here, & this will be the perfect web browser." (2 months later) "Dammit, even AOL is starting to look good right about now!!" (5 days later) *Welcome!*... *You've got spam, I mean e-mail!*
Haha, that's the first time I ever heard anyone sayong 'thanks to SP2'
Anyway, all the shit about making Firefox look better, at least you can make it look better, IE is as it comes, Firefox you can have it as you want it.
did I mention I use all the big web browsers...IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera... Tabs are the biggest thing since sliced bread...(come to think of it, what was the biggest thing BEFORE sliced bread...) I even use Gaim for the tabbed windows, even if it comes at the expense of no more voice chats
As a boy, I wanted to be a train. I didn’t realize this was unusual—that other kids played with trains, not as them.
I suppose that using Internet Explorer is good if you want to run an Ad-Aware scan every week and find close to 50-100 spyware items each time you do run it, but that's not quite my cup of tea. Even though it has fixed up the popups issue with SP2, it's still pretty vulnerable and it's still full of security holes that have yet to be fixed.
Burn, Internet Explorer, burn! It's evil, evil I say! Muhahahahw!
I use Mozilla 1.7.3. If for some reason pages doesn't load within it, I use Opera and make it to be recognized as Internet Explorer.
I used netscape for a while when my internet explorer decided to instantly close the browser, but to be honest it wasnt a major difference.
i might try firefox to test it out for now.
I use FireFox at home and Internet Explorer at college (I've not yet convinced them to install FF on the college PCs, ya see... ).
When I got the net many years back I used Netscape, then I migrated to Internet Explorer as quite a lot of sites didn't work in Netscape. Now I'm on FF and complain to any webmaster who doesn't have a FF-enabled website
"I suppose that using Internet Explorer is good if you want to run an Ad-Aware scan every week and find close to 50-100 spyware items each time you do run it"
ive never had that problem. what sites are you guys visiting
im making a new site because it looks bad on Safari, frankly im not arsed what FF people do. to prove a little point
"Mozilla Compatible (1.0% of all sessions)"
direct stat from my websites stat service. Googles image bot has hit my place more times! my non-FF comptible sites had the same figures too. you dont even have to visit my site, just look at a screenshot or download a file and it counts you.
