Post by: IceFox on June 06, 2005, 04:57:50 pm: If you choose "Other" then please say what it is. I havent used Opera, so right now my opinion is FireFox as da best.

What do you all think?

Post by: SizzlinSean on June 06, 2005, 04:59:55 pm: Don't you mean web browser? An ISP is the company that allows you to get on the internet. Anyways, Firefox.

That's not even an opinion, that's a flase fact.
FF is only used by something like 10% still (but it's getting there) and you think FF is overused......

Anyway, I know the true fact that you're computer can't handle it :laugh:

just gonna pick the real media one because the .rm format is the best video format in exsistence. It's compression is unline any i have ever seen, and its quality is above midrange.

Post by: Rocko on June 08, 2005, 01:40:34 pm: I chose Firefox, I sure do hope no one choses AOL as their favorite browser! I use Firefox, becuase it's fast and is compatable with allot of sites. IE is only compatable if they use non standard code.

Are you sure thats a true fact???

If not prove it

Here is an idea Use IE for a week and do your normal website browsing and then check how much spyware ya got.

Then use firefox for a week still do your normal browsing and then check how much spyware ya got.

Acctually prove it with images!!!

Seriously dude this is a false fact! Now if it was an opinion i wouldnt object to what you say.

Nothing you can ever do will make me switch back to firefox. I hate it. It gave me more errors than I ever had with IE. IE never reset my bookmarks but firefox did. Firefox is overrated.

It's mostly my computer but some of it's Firefox. First of all, they sometimes don't show the Alt characters and it's really annoying. Second, it was slower (on my computer). Third of all, they have the toolbar. I hate toolbars. Other stuff? Nothing else, I've never used it long enough to have it get errors.

1) It doesn't matter how much you know, as long as your computer is safe and working, who cares how much you need to know about your computer.
2) Have you used my computer? NO. So don't go judging my opinions because you think they are wrong. If you haven't used my computer, then shut your face.

If you would like to have people pay attention to you, and treat you like your supposed age, then act that way. Getting "P'D" because at someone to to their choice of internet browser not only shows an immense lack of maturity, it just makes you look pathetic. So why don't you take a little break from posting in this thread for awhile. Keep up the attitude, and expect a ban from yours truly.

Consider yourself warned.

I've tried Real Player browser and I'm not impressed one bit. It's like a firefox version on drugs. It's not worth it.

My parents use Netscape 7 (or whatever the newest version is). I don't mind using that every now and then but I use IE on their computer when I can.

Are you sure thats a true fact???

If not prove it

Here is an idea Use IE for a week and do your normal website browsing and then check how much spyware ya got.

Then use firefox for a week still do your normal browsing and then check how much spyware ya got.

Acctually prove it with images!!!

Seriously dude this is a false fact! Now if it was an opinion i wouldnt object to what you say.
[snapback]188965[/snapback]
You really are brain dead.

Nothing you can ever do will make me switch back to firefox. I hate it. It gave me more errors than I ever had with IE. IE never reset my bookmarks but firefox did. Firefox is overrated.
[snapback]189037[/snapback]

That's true. For some reason, when I was with Firefox, I got THOUSANDS of errors. But anyways, I guess IE isn't good either. Whenever you are busy it crashes. And then the program closes and you have to start aall over again. Same with Firefox.But still, I love IE and I am never switching.... :biggrin:

Post by: bub1028 on February 12, 2006, 03:12:42 pm: firefox, mainly because of the tabs. but microsoft says the next version of IE will have tabs, so maybe i'll switch back then. maybe meaning probably.

There's no need for themes or extensions for IE for me. It's fine just the way it is.

Post by: SpongeBrain on February 17, 2006, 03:31:49 pm: If you are not going to use FF because you dislike it you should use an alternative browser, anyways like K-Meleon or Opera. (I like K-Meleon better ;) )

Post by: ti89titanium on February 22, 2006, 03:35:53 pm: While the beta of IE 7 looked miles ahead of IE 6, i don't trust Microsoft at all. Firefox is a stable, easy handling browser with many capabilities perfected that IE 7 has done a slapshot job of copying.

The RealPlayer browser? Does that even count?

Opera. It's fine. It's up to par with being a complete web browser. That's about it.

The others...well, not good. The major one being the now reborn Netscape which has an excellent GUI but is horrible otherwise. It can emulate IE or Firefox. If you want a browser to do that, get IE or Firefox!

My choice (if you haven't figured it out): Firefox

Firefox. So easy, looks nice without IE installing about 50 toolbars onto it if you don't use it for a month.

I'd never be able to give up Firefox, except for links. links is pretty cool.
