Posted by: CableModem I use IE but I'm planning to get firefox soon---hear it is good. Posted by: hygor chhhheck myyyy sig... i loooove the firefox baby... nah but seriously, firefox is my fave! Posted by: þÄ®âÐÖx I've been using FireFox for ages.. I don't think I'll be going back to IE any time soon ;) Posted by: ZhengHe Is Mozilla firefox that much better then Mozilla standard. I mean I use Mozilla and I think its great. Besides the fact that Firefox is a whole lot smaller then regular Mozilla what's so wonderful about Mozilla Firefox. I'm found that more sites have options for Mozilla then Mozilla Firefox when downloading things and playing media and stuff. Maybe I'm wrong, but I need some feedback. Posted by: CableModem i got firefox. it rocks. so many themes! Posted by: Djadragon i use avant browser it good tho Posted by: 2Crunk [QUOTE] i got firefox. it rocks. so many themes![/QUOTE] I would have to agree with you there, there are alot of different themes, thats one reason why i use it. Posted by: beedubaya Just switched over to FireFox. Its amazing how much faster these pages load with my P.O.S. dialup connection. Posted by: ADZ myIE2 has so many advanced features also. I would say go with it!!! or at least give it a try. Posted by: CrookedPinkies What makes Firefox better than IE? Ive always used IE and never thought there were other browsers (besides Netscape :() Posted by: becroydon after being only exposed to IE, i would also like to know the benefits of firefox, also...anyone got a screenshot of it Posted by: 2Crunk One benefit of Firefox is NO POP-UPS!!! The best reason of all. Posted by: Sevoma "Moziilla" Firefox all the way! Posted by: TheMajor [color=darkred]Opera Screenshot: [url]http://img111.exs.cx/img111/9100/opera2og.jpg[/url][/color] Posted by: Simon i say go firefox or Opera!!!!!! Firefox [url]www.getfirefox.com[/url] pic: [url]http://img201.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img201&image=untitled9zj.jpg[/url] Posted by: willsko87 Firefox, but its a toss up between it and Opera. Ive said b4 that I'd rather Firefox over Opera only because of the ads in Opera. Posted by: majorinsoftware i donot care wat u guys all use. DO this: Firefox or opera or watever but donot ever use IE!! Get it? Posted by: demank I use opera.., cause it have internal mail client in one window..., sound great.., Posted by: ebayfreak i use Maxthon and LOVE IT!!! Posted by: ZhengHe [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ebayfreak [/i] [B]i use Maxthon and LOVE IT!!! [/B][/QUOTE] I'd have to agree with ebayfreak, at least to some extent. Maxthon has really come along way in the last year. Who would imagine that a an IE extension browser could compete with a pure Gecko browser like Firefox, but it does, and it is and the gap between the two browsers are closing fast. Although, since Maxthon is an IE extension browser it does suffer from many of the security problems that are inherent in IE although there are many notable plugins to alleviate that problem and they are increasing too, so although I do prefer Firefox, Maxthon is a very close 2nd in my book, not to mentioh all the valuable extra features it has. Its also quite fast. Not quite as fast as Firefox, but close. Granted, I haven't tried all the browsers there are, but of the ones I have Maxthon is extremely notable, but #2 choice. It also has a very good popup blocker, although downloading the Google Toolbar should alleviate most problems via that. So, check it out. Posted by: ebayfreak yeah i like it a lot. I used FireFox for a while, and just got fed up with it locking up and being very slow on my computer! I guess it's just a personal problem I had with my computer, but Maxthon works MUCH better than FireFox for me. Posted by: paganinio I chose Mozilla just because the *Godzilla movie. I am a huge Microsoft fan. But now with the success of OpenOffice.org, Mozilla Firefox on my computer, I'm even considering getting a non-Windows OS. However I'll always be a Microsoft fan(at least *Age of Empires won't be replaced in my heart). [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by NobodyImportant [/i] [B]Use to use IE, but I switched to Firefox about a month ago. I think it's alot better than IE, in numerous ways. [/B][/QUOTE] Same here. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by CableModem [/i] [B]I use IE but I'm planning to get firefox soon---hear it is good. [/B][/QUOTE] About 2 months ago, same here. Posted by: paganinio in addition: when you want to play Yahoo radio in Firefox, it says "Netscape isn't supported on Windows" Posted by: Louis12 I use firefox. There are so many little features which all together make it the better browser IMO. Things like pop-up blocker, the themes and most of the all the tabs. Tabs are the most useful things ever; I no longer have millions of windows with IE on. Posted by: ApM Anyone using the new Opera 8 browser? If so, does the free version still contain ad's? And hows it better then any other browser? Posted by: TheMajor [color=darkred]Yes, the free version has ads. Check it out. Links in my signature.[/color] Posted by: BoobieSrUs I prefer firefox, IE just has too many flaws ;/ Posted by: P.P. Mguire hmm firefox all the way. Posted by: xotix firefox no doubt. Posted by: P.P. Mguire hells yea. Posted by: BoobieSrUs [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by P.P. Mguire [/i] [B]hells yea. [/B][/QUOTE] Lol... love that hells yea... Firefox baby :) Posted by: tspier2 I actually use quite a few web browsers. They include: Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, K-Meleon, Opera, and Netscape. H3LL N0 to Internet Explorer. It's way too bloated for me. Posted by: 2Crunk Holy old thread Batman! Posted by: DMo224 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by 2Crunk [/i] [B]Holy old thread Batman! [/B][/QUOTE]Only by a couple of months, but that's not really too bad. And it revived an old member, huh? :p Dave :D Posted by: 2Crunk yeah, i guess i have been a little busy. but i got an email and thought i'd check it out. Posted by: monaro_man_91 I used IE until I came to this place, everyone talked about firefox so i gave it a go, and it seems to be 200% better than IE. Posted by: nuke of course mozilla fire fox is the best browser. Posted by: maroon1 i voted for IE because i never used other than IE. however firefox looks like IE7 beta1, i may switch to it, but can some tell if i can open all kinds of websites in firefox like IE or not and from where i can download firefox Posted by: maroon1 i have downloaded firefox and i changed my mind now, i thing firefox is the best internet browser, it is faster than IE and u can open new tabs rather than opening new windows. Posted by: TheMajor [color=darkred]Try Opera also: [url]www.opera.com/download[/url][/color] Posted by: Hobbes firefox Posted by: chip209 Moziilla Firefox Posted by: Rigard Started using Firefox about a yaer ago, I'm never going back to IE. I did try Opera for a bit it was gd but not as gd as FF! Posted by: Jam3s-Zer0 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Rigard [/i] [B]Started using Firefox about a yaer ago, I'm never going back to IE.

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkred]Yeah, itz open-sourze, lmao.[/color] Posted by: digital_ninja2k I used to use IE, but one day I decided to download firefox and I've never looked back. First off, IE has almost no customization to it. I love Firefox's add-ons and extensions. Tabbed browsing makes my life so much easier than having five or six diffrent windows open at once. And the themes are awsome. My favorite and the one I use now is the BlackJapan theme. I like the asian look. ^_^ The extensions are also so cool, I have Wizz RSS that allows me to get all my news and podcasts in one, easily accessable location instead of having to run all over the web for them. Another of my favorites is the Download Statusbar. One of the things that always drove me nuts in IE was that if you had a download going and it got canceled, tough luck. I love the ability to pause and resume direct downloads. I also have the TorrentBar bit torrent search bar. Very cool, very useful. Posted by: TheTOM_SK IE fan only. Security is the way and the IE is the security itself. :) Note: I know, IE still sucks in blocking and managing cookies and referres. Posted by: jdhore1 I do 90% of my stuff in Firefox and the other 10% in Opera, i NEVER use IE Posted by: iPod Man i only use ie if i have to like with some aol videos you have to use ie with active x Posted by: Avalanch3 Internet Explorer for me Posted by: jrh2008 Internet Explorer seems to be so much faster Posted by: NathanM <3 Firefox. I'm currently on IE at school though :(. Posted by: eagle_y2j opera is best of all Posted by: Steven_2006 I was a IE user before ... until I decided to use something new like Mozilla Firefox and I think that Mozilla is way better than IE. Posted by: mrscientific13 Firefox Biznatches. Best choice I ever made switching from IE. Posted by: talldude123 I just had to switch to Firefox, only because IE7 Beta2 always searches for a proxy server before connecting to Google. Something's messed up on it. Posted by: Solitary Mozilla firefox, of course =] Posted by: MrCoffee Firefox is my personal choice but it doesn't really come alive until you get some reasonable extensions. I recommend these so if you're new to firefox check them out! Tab Mix Plus (adds loads of extra functionallity to the Tabs inc my favourite having the tabs that were open when you closed the browser reopen when you load the browser up again) No Script (shows you what sites are attempting to run java script on a particular page and blocks them, white/black listable) Flash Block (Blocks flash from loading, replacing the flash with symbol you can click to allow, also white listing) Mcafee Site advisor (shows in google which sites are unsafe and for what reason, virus download for example) Adblock (blocks a list of ad servers and risky sites) Posted by: Ken11235 I usually use firefox, but, recently I started using IE7 Beta. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited.
