Negative Sun Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 In the interest of saving The Doctor's thread... Let the battle commence!
Emperor Devon Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Maybe Firefox is better, but I've seen no real reason to use it. *Dodges stones*
Jason Skywalker Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 *throws stones* Quite frankly, Firefox has all but advantages. And i still haven't used Thunderbird, whose name PWNS.
Snafu7 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Definately Firefox, gotta love the awesome extensions. And i still haven't used Thunderbird, whose name PWNS. Give Thunderbird a try it's pretty cool
milo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Firefox. Tabbed browsing, themes, and extensions make it the better browser. The only thing that bothers me (which I'm learning about in web page design) is that sometimes firefox doesn't support certain things that you embed in your page, like blinking text or sounds.
swphreak Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 FireFox. Tabbed browsing and security for the win! And extensions are great. <3 AdBlock and [the new] Video Downloader.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 FireFox. Tabbed browsing and security for the win! And extensions are great. <3 AdBlock and [the new] Video Downloader. New? I've been using it for quite some time. Although I'm only now seeing it on the 'Top 10 Extensions' or whatever. Depending on the system though, I may be more inclined to use a browser that uses less memory (like Opera or Avant).
Prime Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 FireFox. Tabbed browsing and security for the win! And extensions are great. <3 AdBlock and [the new] Video Downloader. Firefox for these reasons as well...
Jeff Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Definitely firefox. It's much more secure than IE, tabbed browsing is awesome, and all the extensions and themes made for it are great as well.
The Doctor Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Well, IE never re-set on me, but I also get 0 pop-ups with Firefox, and I don't know what I did before I had the tabs.
Maverick5770 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I don't mind like firefox, even though it has less spyware, pop ups and all that crap. I just like IE better for some reason. *runs and hides from the wrath of IE haters*
Char Ell Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Firefox because it works well, except for some of my online financial institutions and my company's website. Both seem to have issues when I access them using Firefox so I end up using IE for those types of things and my e-mail. I use Firefox for everything else. I've briefly checked out IE 7 but I have no plans to switch back to IE once IE 7 goes gold. I seem to recall that at some point in the past MS stated that they were no longer going to develop IE independent of its OS and that IE 6 was going to be the last standalone browser it would produce. Then of course Firefox came along and caught MS with its britches down, heh-heh-heh. I'll stay with Firefox unless there is a compelling reason to change.
Rogue15 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 firefox for sure. was over at my parents' and they use ie, and it kept closing whenever i'd open it.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 And may I mention ChatZilla which is another way to use IRC. And of, course, I didn't mention, but everybody else did, tabs. Total awesomeness. Though, yeah, somethings have to be downloaded through IE.
Arátoeldar Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Firefox Two Words: Customization & Security.
CSI Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Definitely IE...I don't have to install more internet brownsers.
ET Warrior Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I despise IE. It is a travesty that people still use it.
Diego Varen Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 IE because I use it and is always on my Computer. *Don't throw stones at me*
RedHawke Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I prefer Firefox. I will never again use the crap browser that is called Internet Explorer...
Mav Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I prefer Firefox, but the program? my college uses for all of it's online stuff, doesn't cooperate with Firefox sometimes, so when I take online quizzes and stuff like that, I'm forced to use IE
Pho3nix Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Mozilla Firefox. My argument's for why it's better than IE are the same as stoffe -mkb-'s. I'll quote: * No annoying popup windows, haven't seen a single one in more than a year. * Being able to make annoying Flash banners go away with a mouseclick. * Similarily, being able to block annoying images with a mouseclick (like those rapidly blinking avatars some forum members seem so fond of). * Being able to easily block cookies for certain sites, while allowing it for others. * Tabbed browsing, having 12+ IE windows open was driving me (almost) mad. * More useful/easier to use search, bookmark and history functions. * Allows you to tweak more settings to fine tune things to your liking (by typing about:config in the address field) My fandom even goes beyond the normal...
