Your favorite browser

Just curious, since this site is not specifically geared towards computers, What is your browser of choice. Mine is firefox, works so much better than IE and have been using it for around a year and love it.

Haha, that craked me up, its like saying that Google.com does not exist in England because its servers are in California.



Anyway guys seriously IE is garbage, and I mean that in a very literal way. It has masive and i mean massive security holes plus it does not conform to any proper W3C web standards.

I've been doing IT babysitting for years and there are a few other guys on this site doind the same thing and they will all tell you the same thing: IE is a ridiculously bad piece of sofware. Use Firefox or Opera.

And even if you don't care about security and think drive by scripts are fun remember again it does not conform to proper web standards. When i design a site I design it in Firefox then spend hours trying to figure out how to make its CSS work arround the fact IE has terrible CSS supoort.

Re: Your favorite browser

Also, while I think IE finally started using tab browsing...tab browsing!!! No more multiple windows! PLus, the themes and extensions you can get! The layout isn't really any diffferent, but you can make it look better.

Pop-ups are blocked a lot more, although, i think Google toolbar does a good job of that. I've been using it for years, it's the best!

Now Opera has a weird layout.

Re: Your favorite browser

Internet Explorer is the biggest piece of shit out.

Like Neutrino said, MASSIVE security holes. I don't want a browser that can give me a trojan just by browsing a fucking website, thank you.

Firefox has a fantastic layout, minimal real estate used up, plus tabbed browsing + extensions = awesomeness.
