    I can play most imbedded videos fine, Shockwave and java is good to. Quicktime doesnt load but i have the Load this page in IE extension. Also XML pages are fucked because the webpage is written for IE and IE alone meaning other browsers have to try there hardest to read some badly written code aimed at a browser with little to no secruity updates.

    Can be a resource hog.
    The mere fact that I don't have to go through all the tweaking is reason enough that I don't use FireFox.

    I have a popup blocker (which is easy to come by) and a tabbed interface on IE. I also can change to different skins.

    I have no hassles whatsoever yet FireFox users have had to tinker with their "settings".

    Right now it's IE for me. I wasn't that impressed with FireFox.

    I install and use, i spend maybe 5-10minutes after each re-install of Windows grabbing my themes and extensions that just add to the pleasure of using Firefox, i need no setup time to have it up and running 30 times better than IE. It even imports your favourites and what not from that plague of a browser.

    I think thats what most FF users like . Its the tweaking part and just adding options that "WE" want . I admit its not for everyone , but its not just for power users either. Simple extenions add ons are a joy , If I don't like it it I uninstall. EG: Mouse cursers or popup blockers . I think what I'm trying to say is we have a choice , were not limited like some IE users.

    I haven't seen enough add-ons to warrant a switch or headache.

    Almost the same shit that's on FF I can get for IE.

    I have tabbed browsing and it is most nice.

    It seems there are many users that don't know about FF and many FF users that don't know that the same shit can be had in IE.

    I remember many users switching to MYIE2 for tabbed browsing while I sat quietly with a tabbed IE browser.

    Why do you reinstall Windows?

    @sara , just guessing here but do you have adblock inabled ? I can't post smilies unless I disable adblock ! Don't know why either, because some times it works sometimes not.

    I will give the adblock disable thingy a go.

    I am using version 1.0 atm as 1.03 misbehaved. I will reinstall and see if that helps if that doesn't work.


    Erm....stupid question...but how do I disable adblock without having to uninstall it?
