Which Internet Browser do you use?

FizWizz · Post by **FizWizz** » 26 Aug 2005, 18:23

For the record, I use Opera (I've been using it for nearly a year now), because I thought IE was a bit crappy, and I'd read that it had security issues and other junk. I checked out Firefox because a bunch of people had recommended it, but I just like the interface of Opera better, or a least I'm more used to it. I'm curious about what the norm is for Spring players.

Just as a note, my signature is:
"The quick Firefox jumps over the lazy Internet Explorer."
Too bad it doesn't shows...

Well... actually... I use IE at work so do a lot of people, so the figures are sqcuwed(man, how does one spell that word) to that option in stats... even when it comes to what MSs market share is... I really do use IE %80 of the time because they told me I would be fired if I installed firefox on my work computer again

... I'm sure even the people who are picking firefox in the poll really use firefox more the IE...

I mainly use IE because i'm used to it, but it's a little unstable right now so I am considdering going on Firefox more often...

Heh, I stated what I use at home. I am occasionally Forced to degrade myself to using IE, but thats only at college. Or at friends. and even then, I try to persuade them to change to firefox.

Firefox, but as people have said, im forced to use IE at school and other places. Ah well IE isnt that bad, just not good in large doses.

I say you vote based on what you use on your HOME PC.

Wow, I had no idea so many people use Firefox. My situation is the same as BlackLiger's, except it's Opera instead.

With all due respect, hits are a meaningless number. It only shows that firefox users goto more pages on this site than IE, not that there are more/less users.

If you mean your favorates menu, firefox will copy those for you. And if you mean the little list that comes out of your address bar, I think firefox uses the same cookies as IE, and so those will be the same also. Therefore, you do not have to do anything.

Wow, I did not even notice it until now: There is not a single hit from AOL here.

I use Firefox, but have to use IE for online banking, I can`t get SSL 128 bit working in Firefox for no apparent reason. On that ather point,, firefox can import ALL of your IE crap like passwords history favourites, and whatever else I didn`t mention.

I used firefox even before I switched over to linux, and I still use firefox.

SinbadEV · Post by **SinbadEV** » 29 Aug 2005, 13:41

People still use Firebird? man, I remember using that...

Kixxe · Post by **Kixxe** » 29 Aug 2005, 18:23

Okay, so i decided to try Firefox, and i must say, it isent so bad...

+ The pages load much faster, and the block popup function is great.

- I cant get it to download the flash plugin, but i will proably find a way. Oh, and the way it shows pictures is ugly IMO...

I think ill make it the defult even...

EDIT: I take that last bit back, it seams that instead of loading from top to bottom,(as it did 5 minutes ago) it now loads from crappy qwlity to normal. Witch is really cool.

SinbadEV · Post by **SinbadEV** » 29 Aug 2005, 18:53

flash plugin is available from the flash site... the auto-dowload work for it like 3 versions back, and once you get it once it updates automatically properly...

That picture thing... that's what's called "interlacing" I don't know why IE doesn't do it all the time, but it does sometimes.. for gifs at least... I don't notice stuff like that now that I have high speed

SinbadEV · Post by **SinbadEV** » 24 Sep 2005, 22:32

So they installed Firefox on all our work computers and told us we are allowed to support it now... that means that you won't get no IE hits from this fanatic anymore... nosiree...

also... you may notice that my cyber-slacking effecientcy has improved to such a degree that I am so bored of the internet by the end of an 8 hour that I'm searching for and resurecting long dead threads...
