ie vs firefox vs ?
 

with microsoft bringing out ie8 to try and win back some of the people they lost to firefox i thought i would ask which you prefer/recommend?

We've had some variation of this thread a thousand times. Firefox, by far, is the best browser ever. IE is by far the worst. Chrome sucks. Safari sucks. Opera has some cool features.

^ what atsonicpark sed...

Firefox by a mile. Internet Explorer is fucking worthless.

I prefer Firefox but it's had some hick-ups lately.

Firefox ALL THE WAY. Opera is okay. Everytime I use Internet Explorer I always seem to get spyware... that says a lot.

I've been using Chrome a lot lately, asp care to explain why it sucks? Thusfar it's been the least taxing on my resources, has a good built in memory system for browsing and is aesthetically nice as well. The only downside is no plugins.

i have no problem with ie, firefox however doesn't work well for me.

Yeah...pretty much.

It's a difficult one, this. Because, ultimately, like Mac or Windows OSes, people use FF or IE because they like familiar things. The only people I know who faff about with other browsers are blind people (Opera wins on this count) or techie sorts. FF being a) massively popular and b) open-source ultimately means that techie sorts will err towards the fox. It wouldn't surprise me, however, if people start moving onto a different browser in due course. It's all about the geist, innit?

Incidentally, I'm putting money on Flock growing to 3rd most popular browser in the next few years.

thumbs up

Same here.

100% facts

Also, someone should make a browser designed specifically for porn. That'd do well.

a www.tnaflix.com-based browser? That'd be the shit! Haha. Also, I read recently read Chrome is even more unsafe than IE. I never used it, though. I used Safari and Opera before and ... Safari's okay, Opera has... I dunno. It's okay, it's just... meh. Firefox is just a beautiful lil program.

Firefox is the best, but Chrome is not too far behind. It's certainly more aesthetically pleasing. My major complaint is a lack of master-password, which is kind of essential at college.

Opera is for those who think that they are above FF. Everything Opera can do, FF can do.

Haha. Yes. I have an opera snob friend.

Do they always go on about mouse gestures? That's one of the biggest guns they have in their arsenal for browser flame wars. I got an extension for FF that lets me use mouse gestures.

Think I'm using a keyboard to type this? Think again.
