The Grasshopper Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I don't know if I used this Poll Correctly but anyway, I downloaded Firefox and have been using it. I see that it is a little slower, but the graphics show about the same. I just wanted some opinions on it. Thanks. (if there has already been a poll, I aplolgize for this in advance.)

Unobscured Vision Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 'Fox is IT. By the time a new version of IE comes along, it'll be crippled by new exploits and hack methods, and the 'Zilla's will have already thought to protect against them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people that use windows(all) use IE. My friends use everything from MSN Explorer to Netscape, mozzilla. However, they all use Windows. The difference I see is the management of favorites...tabbed browsing etc... :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yert* Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Firefox seems a lot more secure, but I just don't like it (although I do like the tabbed browsing) I am sticking to my IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mot Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Firefox is *NOT* slower than IE, don't make the mistake of thinking it is; it's actually much faster. Not only has it been documented and explained detail that the Gekko (sp?) engine that FireFox/Mozilla is based on renders text BEFORE images and therefore loads pages faster than does IE which tries to renders images THEN text before displaying the page at all, but I myself tested them both out simultaneously when I first downloaded Firefox, and it does indeed load the page much faster than IE.

Myria Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I voted for Firefox. I like it because: - stops most of the annoying popups (no need for extra programs to do this ...) - has tabs (ah, great feature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
