1. TJ was the first to vote!

2. I voted for IE, because IE 7.0 just rocks!

I don't have IE7, so I voted for FF. :P

 

Besides, it's cool to hate IE and Microsoft. b)

xD I don't hate Microsoft... but FF is just better.

:O How dare you insult my poor IE 7.0!

 

LOL, but I must agree, I used FF before the IT 7.0 came out, and then decided to switch. So I wouldn't blame you eric. :P

I prefer Firefox. It's much more stable, and quick. Also, it doesn't have those many security breaches as IE, and it's engine (Gecko) is much faster and reliable than IE's (Trident).

So true. FF is faster at loading and posting too =)

I like FF 'cos it's faster and the tabs are really handy. And if you have a mac like me, it's a harder installation process and installing FF took like, about 2 minutes. And you can have cool themes for FF. :yes:

Posted

It depends for me. I use FF and IE (7.0) at the same time for different things.

 

Like on IE I will use it to play browser games, listen to talk radio and surf normally (b/c it's faster on my pc). However I'll use FF if I need to open a lot of pages on one site (old habit in respect to IE 6.0) or use the little script-ma-bobs that you can get for FF. But I still use IE more.

I have to use IE for games... but thats about it and I could probably just use FF for games.. so there isn't a need for IE. But the computer I use my Mum uses and she likes IE better so I have to keep it :P

*shrugs* I'm with TJ - IE7 rocks! I love that tabs feature becuase I always have at least four sites open at the same time.

Posted

Firefox had the tabs feature like, years before IE ever got it. I prefer Firefox generally because it's faster, and the add-ons collection beats IE's hands down. Firefox is slower starting up if you tell it to check for updates automatically because it has to do so for itself and all the add-ons.

I am personally a firefox man my self. I use IE7 alot because its what i have installed on my computer. Netscape stinks because it has no add on on it.

Even if you don't use IE much, it's a good idea to have it installed in case you have compatibility issues and/or you use some programs that need IE to run.

FF had the tabs much earlier as AA said, and you can have much more than four tabs open on FF. :P

Yeah, you can on IE too, its just that there's only four sites that I like to have open at the same time. The most I've ever tried it eight I think, but you can have more than that it you want.

 

I don't like Firefox because the only time I tried to download it ti crashed my old computer. That kinda put me off.

For me, Firefox is the optimal choice. I'm a themes/skins freak, and Firefox has lots and lots while IE has none. It also has a lot of cool extensions. Extensions, like tabs, have just been introduced into IE with IE7, and I have compatibility issues because I bought my laptop in Malaysia so, of course, the software is pirated just like everything else to do with computers in Malaysia.

Posted

You can have themed toolbars in FF i should def. get that.

Posted

I voted for "BOTH" 'cause each browser has it's weakness and strengths for quality and etc.

Posted

Firefox is great. :D You can get great addons, themes and no popups whatsoever.

 

And IE is glitchy and messy.

Posted

I agree with Mikey. With IE the games load slower for me o_O

Posted

What I mean by compatibility issues is I can't get IE7 because of the stupid validation.

Posted

I've never used Firefox, but have always wanted to. Only problem is, I have to get my PC's admin to install it.

Well, you shouldn't use non-genuine software then. :)
