Mozilla for me, i still got IE instaled of course cuz microsoft made sure u cant get rid of it but mozilla runs so much better and much more features , that the lazy people at microsoft wouldnt bother 2 ever add in. so as long i got drive space ill be keeping mozilla, and i got 120 gigs so i got plenty of space.

little rude, does it matter what we talk about? if you dont like what the thread is about dont read it, and just because you think its garbage dosent mean other people do, sheesh just give it a chance for cryin out loud

I posted that because about 3 - 4 of these stupid threads pop up per week. Isn't that a bit ridiculous? :s Also, I say IE is the worst of the line-up as I have tested! My recommendation is to use Mozilla 1.0 since it works on all platforms; and is the fastest, most stable, and best in standards compliance of the lot! I like the Mail and News, and you can actually filter out some of the pop-ups (Another criticism against Internet Explorer! :D) !

Until recently, I used IE6 because Netscape 6 was a disaster and Mozilla, in the developers' own words, is a developer's platform and not a polished browser... and that's not what I'm looking for in a browser.

I've been using Netscape 7PR1 since it was released.

The main reason I switched from IE is not because IE sucks, but because I don't need to add a security patch or two to Netscape every single week.

ie ONLY for windows update :mad:

For everything else, MOZILLA 1.1a!!! :devious: :cool:

As far as i know, mozilla doesn't create a log file for every file you download and every site you go... ;)

What?!?! There's a Mozilla 1.1 Alpha out right now?!?! I better get it immediately! :D

I use IE and Opera, with a smattering of Mozilla in between..

But sometimes I wonder, for those who claim that Mozilla is more secure.. what sort of websites in particular have you been surfing to.. that have the latest l33t exploits on them..

Heck.... most warez / pr0n sites I know don't even try to do exploits.. :)

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
