Firefox. Tabbed browsing (if you want to), well done built in download manager, skins etc.

I use the latest version of Firefox, but I prefered 0.8. Version 1.0PR seems to have new bugs and some small features taken away, but it's still better than IE.

Now using Firefox 1.0 instead of IE 6 SP1, pages seem to load a lot faster and the download manager & tabbed browsing is cool. Only weird thing I found with it is that it takes about 8 seconds to start up Firefox whereas IE takes about 1 second and I have an Athlon XP 3200 with 512MB RAM.

I stopped using FireFox expecially have the countless times it kept clearing my Favorites list, & crashing everytime I played fullscreen games, & I know its not my computer in gen. I know alot of people having the same exact problems. I like IE, so simple it gets the job done RIGHT.

Windows 3.1 is simple and gets the job done too. Doesn't make it better.

Firefox beats IE anyday!

Oh boy, Windows 1.3 is an old version of Windows, & FireFox is a completly different program then IE. Also, I dont see people going into folders with FireFox, but because IE is officially by the people who made the os you are using right this second, all you need to do in a folder is simply type in what you want, & your folder isntly turns into your web browser. Needless to say that I dont feel like jumping from FireFox to IE back to FireFox just so that I can look at sites that FireFox cant support, & dont tell me they arent out there, just look.

Also, not just me, but alot of people I know, notice that FireFox takes like 10 if not 20 seconds just to open! Then crashes on you moments later! Its almost like you are racing it, if you dont exit before it feels youve done enough searching, its going to crash. Oh, & lets not forget the countless times its basicly the favorites I counted on being there when I needed them, but lets not stray from the point that FireFox often kept kicking me out of my user name or what ever it wants to call it, & not letting me back in, meaning I lost everything on that name, including the button configuration. So not only am I waiting 20 seconds for something to load, when its just going to crash later on, but while doing so, I am watching my favorites disappear before my eyes & fixing up the button configuration the entire time, saying to myself, all I need to do is fix these buttions up to be perfect, & this will be the ultimate web serfing browser!

I am not stranded with IE, & its not my failt that half of the FireFox users use it only because there idea's of IE are screwed because they have screwed copies of it. I like IE better then FireFox, & unless they can drop all the fancy crap, I am staying with IE, because to be honist, I dont need to have all my downloads packed into a buggy download window, or a popup blocker that blocks everything I dont want, & everything I do, nor do I need to have a web browser that tells me all the time "This Website is Unviewable by the WebBrowser you currently using!" or do I need to wait 20 seconds to look up something for 10. That is no better then you downloading something for 3 hours & only playing it for 2 minutes.

I dont like FireFox, works just like Netscape, which is an AOL that looks more like IE. Plain & simple.

I'm not some tech-head and I really don't give a Nobby's Peanut what IE apparentally can't do, it does everything I'll ever need (or want) it to.

why stop there? Windows itself is full of problems and backdoors and all that paranoid stuff? why dont we all switch to something more reliable and secure? why not move to mac! i mean its simple? oh ok its mac, we have problems with mac, why not linux then? Batch has it correct, Wine is pretty snazzy.

and isnt IE compatible with every website? call me stupid but isnt that just easy?

Lol Brandon, being able to go from a folder direct to a web page is exactly the kind of OS integration that makes IE so insecure, which probably is loading loads of viruses and spyware on to your computer, which makes your computer slow and crash all the time.

i must say MMF work very well with wine, and i think wine is better coded than windows itself, even if wine can load all the app

it's a bit like firefox in fact, it's better coded but still incompatible, but THERE IS NO STANDART FOR WINDOWS APPS, F**K !
