Thread: Firefox vs. IE

    I prefer Firefox, except for every now and then when a page just won't load in it and I have to switch to IE.

    I'd use both, though primarily I'd use Internet Explorer. Both are good, I think.

    I don't like Safari. I know it's just Beta software, but I don't have high hopes for it. The metal colour sticks out like a sore thumb. You also can't "Tile Windows Horizontally/Vertically" with it, which is a pain. And the default text that it uses isn't as clear as Firefox or Internet Explorer. And it's also vunerable too.

    Rant over.

    I have used Mozilla Firefox as my browser for three years now. There's really no going back now.

    You should try it on a mac. It's better there xD Apple just wanted windows kids to be able to release stuff for the iPhone. The metal fits in with the whole scheme of OS X, you don't have that window behavior on os x anyways, and you also have that kind of font smoothing on os x xD

    So, yeah it's pretty crap on windows, but hey it's a port and not a very serious one, I don't think.

    I just switched from Rogers Yahoo's perverted version of IE to Firefox. I much prefer Firefox.

    My previous laptop came with Firefox installed and a note saying IE sux, so I started using it then and haven't changed back to IE. If that laptop hadn't had Firefox installed I probably would've still used IE to spite said fanboys in Psychotic's post.

    The only reason I have to leave firefox is to test my websites in other browsers, and visit some military pages that haven't had the time to test their pages in firefox.

    Since my only comp is my parents, I only use IE, but I downloaded FF and tried it, then I had to delete it so my parents wouldn't get pissed.

    i prefer FireFox and its methods. of course, there are some small things i do not appreciate, but that doesn't mean i'm going to go look for a new browser to use.

    I bet it wouldn't do that if you installed the chatzilla extension for firefox 8)
