Why the hell have I been using IE for so long???

[Paulie]

I've used Firefox off and on, here and there, but today I decided to give it my undivided attention.

Holy shit, this program is superior to IE in like every way!

I'll never open IE again.

 

[KittenKoder]

You just fell for the MS con, don't feel too bad though, many people are still falling for it.

 

[KittenKoder]

Oh, you will also notice that more websites open and render correctly with Firefox.

I've found people tend to stick with what they started with. You wouldn't believe how many people still use that absolute piece of junk, completely outdated AOL browser!

By the way, even with IE closed it's still accessing the internet. Open your Windows Media Player (It's IE based) and go File>Work Offline to stop this, and keep checking that and making sure it stays that way.

Welcome to the 21st Century of web browsing!

On the real though, it's friggin great. I was getting lagging websites today with IE so I decided to try Firefox for the hell of it, and it's Mf-ing LIGHTNING FAST.

Scottrade was giving me problems with slow ass loading and it was killing me, I missed out on a stock spike because of it.

I'm contemplating switching my entire OS now. Fuck, the anxiety that change will cause...

There's lots of add-ons and toys you can get with FF. Go Tools>Add-ons and explore.

And Ubuntu is a great OS, its default browser is FF. And you don't have to give up windows to use it.

I made the switch when I noticed that the keyboard buffer didn't work in IE 7. I would type on a slow laptop at the time and only every third letter would appear. Contacted MS and they just sounded dumbfounded so I tried others, found I like FF the best.

If you're happy with chrome, you're happy with being tracked and spied on.

I haven't used IE for almost a year... Foxfire is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much faster and has some nice features...

It depends. IE and Chrome's first mission is to track you. Secondarily, it's a browser.

See the difference?

i recently switched to FF myself
IE8 was a forced upgrade nd it got to the point my old machine just wouldnt handle more than 2 tabs open at a time
so i had no other option if i wanted to keep using this old machine

couldnt take all the updates from firefox .

Chrome updates without letting you know about it.

FF updates in the open, letting you choose if you want the update or not.

Interesting fact: Because Firefox has fewer and less severe publicly known unpatched security vulnerabilities than Internet Explorer (see Comparison of web browsers), improved security is often cited as a reason to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox.[82][83][84][85] The Washington Post reports that exploit code for critical unpatched security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer was available for 284 days in 2006. In comparison, exploit code for critical security vulnerabilities in Firefox was available for 9 days before Mozilla shipped a patch to remedy the problem.[86]

Thusly, the advantage of constant updates.

Same here, I use Safari though. Though I'm also running that on a Mac.

Mac should make Firefox its default browser.

I have Safari, only use it to check how my websites look on it. It's far inferior to FF and doesn't belong on a Mac.
