I only frequent a couple forums and comics, so viruses and spyware have never really been a problem for me. I found the tabbing rather attractive, though. It's a pain in the ass to have a research period at school and sort through 50 IE windows.

Is anyone else reminded of this?

All I ever need to use is darklyrics.com, decently low traffic. I mean, it isn't even finished. For stuff it doesn't have, it redirects you to azlyrics.

It was a redirect from azlyrics to a They Might Be Giants lyrics page, if memory serves.

More funnies.

FireFox>All others.

This is because Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer are essentially the same program. A web browser is not really meant to be an FTP access program, but this relationship allows IE some leverage.

Open "My Computer" or "My Documents" and replace the path of the folder with a URL.

This, among other things, is part of the motivation for Microsoft being sued.

Easy. Some html still isn't standardized. Some tags work differently in some brtowsers, some tags don't work at all. And some people don't see the need to do a diffcult cross-platform html coding, so they just use the most used web browser. Also, Firefox still doesn't support all the WC3 standards. Oops. Test it out for yourself.

Firefox may seem hugely popular, but it's still only used by about 10% of the internet. Especially now that IE 7 has tabbed browsing, and there are several overlay programs that will give IE 6 the same functionality.

I don't like Firefox. It's buggy (I've had the most recent versions randomly close on me when I load certain pages), it's got major memory leaks (these are not bugs, but rather deals with the way the pages are being cached in the tabbed enviroment), and, without tweaking, it's slow. Firefox is a product of hype, and it ain't as good as everyone is saying it is. Hell, Opera seems to hit a lot of the claims of Firefox better than Firefox does.

A lot of problems with IE disappear when you remove the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (which has been discontinued), which weas the gateway a lot of spyware used to lunch itself into your computer. I've lost my link to it's removal tool, I'll keep looking for it. Just be sure to replace it with Sun's Java.

I use Oprera, Firefox, AND IE. IE the least though, Firefox for alot of flash related programs and stuff I want in my cache, and Opera for everything else, especially downloading. Firefox downloading sucks. ;__;

Different browsers work differently for different computers. TRY THEM ALL! See which one you like the best.

Currient Browser: Opera.

IE has worked for me. But I've got some top-of-the-line protection software, so maybe it kind of compensates? I don't like NS however. Grandmother has it, I tried it out and it sucks ass, at least from my perspective.

I use firefox because its hell of a lot faster than I.E. I just get annoyed by the "you are missing a plugin" message I get a few times. ...just like the one I got by clicking on the link for the vid...:gonk:

I've got no strong preference either way. I use Firefox for most of my everyday web browsing as it's generally quicker the IE and I prefer using tabs to having multiple windows open all the time. However, I sometimes find the improved security of Firefox actually slows me down, and sometimes when I'm visiting various sites that I know and trust, I prefer to use IE and just let everything download automatically rather than manually authorise everything as I have to in Firefox. For this reason, I've got Internet Explorer set to the absolute minimum security settings, as I generally only use it for trusted sites, and Firefox on a much higher security setting for generalised browsing.
