FireFox or Internet Explorer?
 
Which Browser do you prefer, For those whom use other Broswers I have included them in the poll also.

I prefer MSN Browser.

I use IE and Firefox, but on Mac I use Firefox because IE on a mac is HORRIBLE!!!!!

=p

This would go in the computer forum.
And I use Opera, along with, like, 2% of other people here. When my favorite IE shell went downhill, I used Firefox for a while. The plugins are nifty, but when you load 8~12 tabs on a regular basis (Such as myself) you really notice the slowdown. Which can be…annoying. Opera keeps its speed up pretty well, and has some cool integrated features.

I –had- tried it before and liked it, but PC would just not load under it. When we had that “attack” and reinstalled vB, it fixed it. I didn’t know this though until Sawah tried it. When she did, I gave it another go, and worked with it. Now middle clicking works *much* better than S-D&D for tab opening, and it’s a pretty nice browser all around. *cuddles Sawah* Just one of the improvements my life has gained, in her marvelous light. ^^

I use IE, but I wish I had Firefox. I hear that it is way better than IE. My Dad has Firefox, but you can probably tell from my post that he doesn't share. XD

I use Opera.
I was quite content with Explorer, actually. Until, ironically enough, all Abby's talk of the usefulness of tabs finally got to me and I saw Opera on Suprnova. So I decided to get it. Which marked quite a memorable conversation with Abby, and shortly after, she reinstalled it. And here we are.
Opera! The OFFICIAL Browser of Abby x Sawah!

I use FireFox mostly. Gotta love them Tabs. ;)

TRIFORCE89 October 27th, 2004 4:45 PM

I'm guessing Internet Explorer, since that's basically Avant Browser.

Eliana October 27th, 2004 4:48 PM

I have boring ol' Explorer. I've used many before, though.

Kipkip October 27th, 2004 5:11 PM

I use Firefox and Opera. I use Firefox more often though, but I still like them both.

Crimson King October 28th, 2004 2:51 PM

i like FireFox and IE the most then comes Netscape 7.2 (i like the tabs in FF and Netscape :D)

Geometric-sama October 28th, 2004 7:48 PM

*Chikorita*: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox Download it then XD

Firefox pwnz j00 almost as much as Good Charlotte pwnz j00~ No seriously, Firefox is fast, clean, secure, and non-buggy... at least it doesn't crash my computer like IE does.

Firefox has THE crappiest rendering engine. It's fine to adhere to standards, but at the expense of redraw speed? Blech.
Opera == <3<3

Virtual Headache October 30th, 2004 1:38 PM

I use Firefox but I think opera is good too
I like both!

THIRTY-SIX October 31st, 2004 12:30 PM

furefox all the fudging way

AZSupraT October 31st, 2004 3:06 PM

Firefox owns IE, hands down :)

usami October 31st, 2004 8:40 PM

IMO FireFox is 100% better then IE in everyway *huggles FF*

Thomas October 31st, 2004 8:51 PM

Miroku...you took the words right out of my mout. It is the best browser, hand down, that I have ever used!

Geometric-sama November 2nd, 2004 3:37 PM

FF's redraw speed seems perfectly fine to me, it's faster than IE anyway and better standards.

Firefox's speed is almost exactly the same. It's that people have so much spyware and other junk on IE that slows it down. That's why you see a speed difference.

Geometric-sama November 3rd, 2004 3:08 PM

Even though I've cleaned my spyware out, I still prefer FF, as the tabbed browsing and popup killer make life so much easier.

Kairi November 3rd, 2004 3:15 PM

There sure seems to big a big cult push for Firefox, atm. With that…spreadfirefox stuff and all. Still though, it’ll never be enough to counter all the people who just load up IE with Windows. o.x;

Geometric-sama November 3rd, 2004 4:00 PM

That's what you think. XD *laughs evilly*

I use Firefox now. I use to use Avant, and IE. But I like firefox except for the occasional new window when clicking links but I survive. I would still use IE since Service Pack 2 came with popup stopper but I got tired of having my task bar so full. I would be doing hardly nothing and have a scroll bar on my task bar.

Mizugorou November 11th, 2004 2:37 PM

I use FireFox because I have used my IE for over 4 years so it has gotten to be extremely slow. And the pop-up blocker on IE was the most annoying that you will ever find. So I use FireFox now.
