FireFox Vs. Internet Explorer.

S'up dudes!

What does everyone use, and what is your personal opinion on oth Mozilla FireFox and Internet Explorer?

Personally, I prefer MF because there is a lot less pop-ups and its a lot faster. IE also doesn't look at good at FF as you can download Themes.

What does every else have/reckon?

Internet Explorer, only because im to lazy to change it to anything els.

I use FireFox because its SAFER than explorer and because its quicker, but some websites have compatability problems with FireFox and you need to use Explorer on them.

To twist it around however, HP's new Netscape browser works like FireFox and Explorer, so you can go on EVERY website, isn't that clever? I haven't tried it myself because i'm happy with my furry fox!

Have you got a link as to where you can get HP's Netscape?

Thanks

here's some background info to wet your appetite with: http://www.itrportal.com/absolutenm/...s/?a=2358&z=13

and the link to download it:

Net scape does my head in I use Firefox its the fastest but I do have prob with sites with heavy pics while using Firefox.

I use IE. If you have a decent pop up blocker (like me) you never get any pop ups coming up.

Thanks a lot for that

I will look into itand see what its like

Have some rep.

Im a Firefox user, I love tabbed browsing!

Firefox is way better than any other browser out there. I used to use IE all the time, but when someone recommended using FF I was hooked. Tabbed browsing is amazing!! Plus it is alot safer and faster which lets face it has gotta be a plus point!

Yeah, true, tabbed browsing is a quality feature

same here. i dont care about popup blocking bc i just use an ip blocker,peerguardian i recommend this to anyone. you can even use it with a software firewall to block certain ip's

How do you use tab browsing in firefox?? i have never worked out how

You open up tabs for each site or page you want to look at Try right click.

Firefox for me. It just does a lot more things that once I've got used to, I can't go back such as :

1. Tabbed browsing
2. Keeping downloads organized
3. Keeps passwords organized

Those things are to hard to give up.

Firefox. I can't live without the tabs. Plus it's faster.

I use Opera which is better than both.

Used Firefox for a year and after a while it took ages to load things up and crashed alot.

Opera has tabs and other funky stuff, Also very fast.

Firefox for me! IE is utter trollop. Almost as painful as watching an 84-year-old granny try to zimmer frame her way up a downwards escalator...

MOZZILLLAAAH!! Firefox! That's right, I'm a foxy-man and I'm currently trying out the v1.5 BETA..It's a lot better than the prevoious verions in that if you click on an external link from an email or something (I'm also using Mozilla Thunderbird) it just opens up a tab in firefox instead of you losing the page you were just on...yup...Firefox is a **** load better than Internet Explorer..that's for sure...quicker, safer...everything!

I wouldn't find that painfull, I would find it hilarious, is that bad?

I use Netscape and IE. I feel special as I am the only one using Netscape some of the time.

is there really any debate anymore? Firefox blows IE out of the water in every catagory (fuctionality, security, customization, etc..) IE7 might change this, but i highly doubt it

Thats kinda true. My FireFox is actualyl starting to crash quite a bit. Like sometimes when I press on it on my Desktop to open it up it just won't load up and I have to go on IE, which is always a pain up the backside.

This site is being viewed in a Tab...
