I use firefox because it supports pngs, it goes faster than IE because IE gets viruses which make it go slower. also i like tabbed browsing. I used IE like you and i hated people saying IE sucks get firefox but i never tried firefox and when i did i loved it

IE sucks. Why?
-It can automatically download and run EXEs without telling you if you set certain settings
-The ways it reads HTML and CSS are ugly (SEN is ugly, PyForums is uglier)
-It doesn't best Firefox at anything

That site is dumb. It streches the things to make firefox look bad. For example :
one "myth" is that firefox has tabbed browsing IE doesnt.
It then says REALITY "Internet Explorer 6 supports Tabbed Browsing when used with the MSN Toolbar extension in Windows XP"
wtf thats retarded. IE does not have tabbed browsing. You have to download an msn extension thing for it to have tabbed browsing.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathawk on 2006-07-24 at 22:52:35
Well.. if you can use tabbed browsing on IE... then it supports it.. Read it again, it does not say IE comes with tabbed browsing.. I don't see the problem with downloading MSN toolbar either.
IE7 also has tabbed browsing.

I think you are talking about Gradius, and he was being sarcastic, because that is what you had to do in order to emulate the features of Firefox. (Apparently, he was actually serious about it)

Ah, but Firefox is more secure than Internet Explorer. I didn't see that "myth" debunked.
I never said it was the best borwser, but I think it's better than IE.

Your not safe on any browser. Their will always be new holes. It's just that IE has 2194823054872375209572398.653 so its more likely you will get viruses.

Ok, I'll tell you why FF is better than IE.
1 - Firefox supports transparent .png images, including semi-transparent. IE doesn't, except latest version, which most people doesn't have.
2 - IE reads HTML/CSS buggy, my forum looks like a joke on IE.
3 - Almost every single spyware, adware, trojan, and similar bad stuff are made for Firefox, and you get infected with them no matter what anti-virus you have. Because anti-virus deals viruses not these things. While Firefox is not 100% safe either my ad-aware monthly scans looks like this. IE ~ 350 items found, FF ~ about 0-5 items found. These files, slow your computer down, makes your computer restart and do other weir stuff. Redirects your IE to bad sites. Auto installs programs and toolbars on your IE, even after you remove them, they install again from system restore. Sets bad sites as your homepage, automatically all the time. And many many things.
4 - IE is quite slower than FF, especially after the FF speed up procedure posted here recently.
5 - Firefox looks better than IE, and has skin support.
6 - Firefox has tabs, while IE doesn't. I use those a lot, instead of having 3 windows open, you can have them all in 1 window.
7 - FF Nice and easy bookmark setup.
These are some mayor things out of my experience. Basically I just like my PC safe, I have had the situation when nothings runs, my anti-virus dies and stuff, had to format my drive, just because IE. As you see when people say "IE sucks" it's not just out of nothing.

I dont understand why everyone is fighting over what browser u use. Its a fckking browser for god sakes! I mean, I know they have different features and look different, but who cares! Let the person that is using the browser decide! Its not a crime that people use IE, its not a crime if people using Firefox or Opera! So why dont we just forget about this and drop it.

IE is faster than Fx... And if you're getting 350 pieces of spyware, you need to change what sites you're going to, I get maybe 2 pieces of adware in 3 months, and my family uses this computer about all day.. You can also have tabbed browsing with IE
But hey, if you want a fast, secure, browser, with tabbed browsing, and one that doesn't disply HTML/CSS screwed up.. Why haven't you gotten Opera?

1. You mean IE7?
2. I think it looks fine.
3. None of that has ever happened to me. My virus scans usually come up with nothing.
4. Read the myth thing, IE is actually faster.
5. I think IE looks better than FF. And I like plain blue and white of it.
6. I don't really see the purpose of tabs, I can access pages easily.
7. How so?
How do you know it was IE? If you couldn't run anything, what makes you think IE caused your problem?
