What browser does everyone use?

[Reynolds]

Updated my myspace and tried to fill it up with some of the best movie scenes i could think of. There are about 20 embedded youtube objects on there. Everything runs perfectly fine and smoothly on firefox, internet explorer gets completely overloaded and slow.

IE sucks moose dick, who the hell could still be using it after trying firefox?

[cupcakelove]

Some people enjoy punishing themselves.

i have ie and firefox on both computers, but i only use ie on this one (the laptop) and only firefox on the one upstairs (porn machine)

I don't see why anyone would use IE at all. Only time I need to use IE is when stupid microsoft tells me I need to , in order to get something from them.

[Johnny Manf]

My IE7 works fine at home. I have not had a single problem with it.
I love the tabs in that more than in Firefox. Just works easier for me.

In work though I use Firefox because IE6 (7 not approved yet) crashes on a lot of sites for some reason. Its something with being at work and using IE that doesnt work right. Firefox works fine though.

[Dan G]

I use Firefox.

Haven't used IE since 2003.

Its not I really do not know. I am not a computer geek or know the lingo, so what is it? The only Browser I know of is a fire breathing dragon with spikes on his back.

A browser is the application you're using to look at ronfez.net right now.

Browser is the program you open to view websites. The one you type www.ronfez.net in to get here. Click help, then about up top to see what you have, probably ie. Now you have to explain to me the fire breathing dragon part.

So what I missed a letter this isn't a spelling bee. You obvioulsy knew what I meant.

[fohat]

Right now I'm using firefox until the release version of Safari 3 comes out.

I've used Safari, Opera, Firefox, Camino, Seamonkey, Netscape 9 beta, Shiira, Sunrise, and Flock. I think for Macintosh the best 3 are Firefox, Seamonkey and Safari. If GVac was here we could have a spirited debate on why I didnt include Camino as best browser...

i recently switched to firefox when rf.net was having the problems with Flash Ads. Firefox has the nice blocking feature. I like it so far. The only issue I have had with it so far is one bittorrent site i use, but other than that I like it. I never thought I would switch, but it seems good so far.

I also enjoyed the tab browsing in IE better than firefox, but firefox loads pages much quicker.

[zentraed]

i've been using firefox and convincing everyone i know to make the switch for a few years now. regarding the problem with slowdown, blame adobe first. flash applets hog the cpu. i keep them to a minimum, especially when i'm running on battery power

I like the IE7 tab browsing too. I hope the next version of firefox has the new tab "stubs" like IE7 does. Firefox has the built in spell check, which is nice. And, I find it much easier to find and install plug-ins for firefox.

[Death Metal Moe]

I'm not too cool for the room so I just use IE7.

[cupcakelove]

Yeah, because you have to be 'cool' to use Firefox, it has nothing to do with wanting stability and functionality in your browser.

[JPMNICK]

I think like 40% of the users here are firefox. JustJon can chime in if he has time with an exact stat, but i remember it being MUCH more than I expected.

[ToLEEdo]

word, Firefox is where it is at. Some people like IE because they are old and aren't comfortable using anything else.

I just can't stand the attitude I pick up from some Firefox users. They look down on IE users like they're cavemen slamming rocks together. It's just a fucking computer. Reminds me of Apple users.

I used Firefox and it didn't load content correctly so I dumped it.

Didn't load correctly, or did it actually load things the way they're supposed to? As someone that does web develop for a job, I can tell you I dread pulling up things I've worked on in IE, because its almost certain that what ever I added/changed is either going to be fucked up, or not even show up at all. MS invents their own standards, and then uses Windows to shove them down everybody's throats. I haven't even touch on stability and security in IE.

[JPMNICK]

i think also because it is the default, and most people do not want to go out of there way to download something else that basically does the same shit as what is already on their computer

[Crispy123]

If you use multiple computers and have a thumb drive, portable Firefox is awesome. It keeps all your shit anonymous or at least on your thumb drive. I used to use it at work because all the computers were monitored and so I just installed Firefox at home.

Use whatever makes your mouse squeal in delight, I say. But don't think everyone will look down on you for your browser choice, I mean, That's just absurd! To think that anyone would think any less of you, merely because you like Internet Exploder- er- Explorer, smacks of low self-esteem issues. Maybe you need therapy or perhaps you are just incompetent using computers. I mean uhm...

I <3 Moe.

[buzzard]

I use Flock,minefield & Firefox all offshoots of IE cuz IE7 is so unstable...I never use Netscape cuz it fights for control with the others so much:wallbash:

But Moe, if you get to mock our sissy music (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62010&page=3), it only seems fair that we should get to sneer at your browser.

i use firefox, but i also can't stand the superiority of some of its users (not nearly as bad as mac folk...i fuckin' hate them and their ipod wearing cousins). then again, i like saying aboot, what do i know?

[Fallon]

Firefox 98% of the time, IE the other 2%.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

IE7

why..

is there better, I dont know compters

:king:

[celery]

I'm just so used to the extensions in Firefox, (Gmail manager, Adblock, Bugmenot, Web Developer Toolbar, ForecastFox) I wouldn't want to go back to IE.

No one's acting superior or bragging about using Firefox - it's FREE software.

[JustJon]

I use Firefox. I started using Firefox because the pages loaded faster and when the browser crashed, it didn't take down the whole Windows. Plus I liked many of the innovations firefox introduced, like Extensions and tabbed browsing. Nothing makes development easier than the Web Developer extension.

Latest stats:
IE - 58.93%
Firefox - 33.58%
Safari - 5.20%

[StupidGirlllll]

I just downloaded FireFox & I do not really see what is soo different. It does not fir as well as IE7

the main difference are things you do not see, like security. also there are some AMAZING tools that can be added on, like the ability to save any PDF you are viewing in a webpage

[Mangoat]

[DolaMight]

Ive used firefox for years and when I did friends the favor of reinstalling their entire computer because of spyware problems I installed firefox made it default, told them to use it only, get used to it, or else I won't fix it again. ActiveX is the root of all spyware problems.

After that no more "buddy internet doesn't work anymore" calls. It's porn/lyric site friendly even still to this day.

It's better for the advanced and beginner user.

Plus I don't think there's such a thing as being "cool" in terms of any computer usage.

I am going to be installing it on my families computers as well, along with the ad blocking software and the flashblock

except for MLB.tv which then I have to use IE

[sr71blackbird]

I use Safari on the iMac (99% of the time I am on these days), and on my pc, I use Firefox.
At work I use Netscape ( I know..)

i couldn't agree more! firefox fanboys can be as bad as their mac friends. i use firefox, because my pc caught a bad case of herpes a while back from using IE. i used netscape for a while with no problems, but i've been using firefox since i heard about it, and no virus problems ever since.

oh, and my mp3 player is a SanDisk Sansa. 8gb + card slot, and i don't walk around with zombie-sheep white ear-buds.

After Microsoft won the browser war, they pretty much dissolved their Internet Explorer development group. Remember when you couldn't go anywhere on the web without getting spyware? No one was working on that "little" problem.

After Firefox started picking up marketshare with their tabs, extensions, and lack of spyware problems, MS got the band back together and gave us IE7.

August 1995: Internet Explorer v1.0
November 1995: Internet Explorer v2.0
August 1996: Internet Explorer v3.0
October 1997: Internet Explorer v4.0
March 1999: Internet Explorer v5.0
July 2000: Internet Explorer v5.5
August 2001: Internet Explorer v6.0
October 2006: Internet Explorer v7.0

[Hottub]

I'm pretty happy with IE7. At work, home and laptop.

And I wish I was as smart as Zentraed.
