[GepperRankins]

I'll switch over completely to FireFox eventually. Needs better plug-in support, and then we're all set.

[Mr. Mulder]

FireFox is teh sexay but the only problem is that all the emoticons and urls imgs go to the bottom of the posts you type, and you then have to copy and paste them to go where you want.


Is there a plug in for this? :unsure:

[SillyRumours]

Firefox is generally better than IE expect for the IPB thing...those Mozilla sons of bitches

I should have expected a typo somewhere in my post

[Illuminati]

There&#39;s a number of different reasons why people prefer Mozilla Firefox - Tabbed browsing, easy-to-install plug-ins, clean & customisable interface, pop-up blocker etc.

But one of the main reasons is internet security - Many of the spyware, attacks etc are either designed to be used in the IE engine or to use one or more of the IE engine&#39;s security holes (respectively). Using a Gecko browser* renders many of them useless or unable to work properly - Hence why most of us Firefox users haven&#39;t seen more that 20 (or even 10) unwanted pop-ups since switching to FireFox.

As for SlimBrowser, this quote from their site says it all:

Win95+IE4 is the minimum requirement. Win98+IE5 is recommended. Slim Browser runs on all 32-bit windows systems, i.e., Win95/98/ME/NT/2k/XP/2003. A few minor features may not be available under win95.
It uses the IE engine rather than its own - Pretty much a souped-up version of IE :P Doesn&#39;t make you safer on the net.

Now to add up this totally unbiased analysis...FireFox forever&#33; :01:

*i.e. a web browser that uses the Gecko rendering engine instead of IE&#39;s propiatery engine

[benxuk]

TRU.DAT

SlimBrowser has a popup blocker and script blockers and so on, but once a hole
is found it gets screwed, SB is somebodys Delphi exam project & mshtml.ocx...

What&#39;s the bigdeal with Firefox.

It&#39;s got a pop up blocker <_<

Built in Google bar <_<

Everything dl&#39;d to the desktop <_<

Not dissing it, just don&#39;t what the big deal is :unsure:

[DanB]

Tabbed browsing so everything is in the same window, easy to install and very useful plugins, easy to change themes on it. Also it is more secure than IE and is the proverbial bee&#39;s knees IMO :D


edit - if only it had a spellchecker :rolleyes:

I&#39;d say teh big deal is, like said before, teh Engine.

Its not IE, thus its a bit more secure.

I got Firefox here too.

:cool2:

[sArA]

Just got it....so far so good :P

[sampson]

Tried it, done with it, Guess I&#39;m just old fashioned. Didn&#39;t like it :(

[Monkster]

I use Firefox.

I&#39;ve gotten used to the IPB thing...I just use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V more often :rolleyes:

Yep, you get quite used to it after a while :rolleyes:

Mozilla mozilla mozillllaaaaaaaaaa :01:

[Neo 721]

i use both, the pluggin support of IE, the anti popup cappabilities of firebox

[kAb]

i tried firefox, didn&#39;t see what was so special about it.

slower loading time than IE

[Jay]

i use firefox but still cant get myself from deleting the IE shortcut for whenever i get the urge

[sparsely]

and if you don&#39;t know why IE sucks yet (aside from its horrid lack of transparant png support and shitty security) go here (http://positioniseverything.net/explorer.html) in Internet Explorer.

Though Firefox has got me mad tonight.
It completely fails to render the Webdings font using CSS {font-family:webdings;} or font tags <font face="webdings">
:angry:

alos - never had borwser hijackers on FF

[Donnie Darko]

26 to 11,I think i need to check this firefox thing out.

[Rip The Jacker]

:01: :01: Opera&#33; :01: :01:

Also more secure than IE, with great skins, popup blocking, and other things I can&#39;t think of right now because its 3am and I&#39;m getting sleepy&#33; :01:





Go on, flame me, I&#39;m ready. :ph34r:

Actually, it&#39;s a surprise that it hasn&#39;t been mentioned already :D It seems like most people using non-IE browsers on this site are either in the Firefox or Opera camps.

And just because someone doesn&#39;t like Firefox doesn&#39;t mean they won&#39;t like all non-IE browsers ;)

[sparsely]

using the main three regularly (IE, Firefox, & Opera) for testing when writing webpages, I&#39;d have to say that Opera has some really bizarre & shitty rendering weirdness goin on.
