Wow, how the hell is it slow? It loads in literally half the time that FF loads for me, and its faster at rendering webpages.

i like all browsers but i have this issue with ff ...

On my WindowsXP home + athlon 1800 + 256Mb box... I open firefox (with atleast 3-4 tabs open)and minimize it for a long time , try to click it... to max... it just freezes for huge time compared to IE... opera has no freeze time...

all FF lovers, dont u hate this bug.. also,FF has mem leak issue, which i thought will be solved in final release but it hasnt.

:D I've used Opera on Windows since v5.10, i's gonna take a revolution in the browser-wars for me to switch to Firefox. It's one piece of software I gladly paid for :p

Opera r0x0rz your s0x0rz :p

However, Firefox is good too, just not too my tastes!

Some random site says it's the best, it must be the best. In addition to "the best browser", they also said what was the best in about 400 different catagories. To be honest I can't imagine they went into great depth.

I didnt' realize PC World was some random site.

I just removed Opera and installed Firefox. I still can't get rid of IE--that makes me mad!

Why?

Why NOT IE (not that people need a reason anymore)

1. I use XP and with all the updates, IE blocks my test websites EVERYTIME I am trying to test in Dreamweaver. It makes no sense, but it blocks sites from my computer and not from the internet. I couldn't figure out how to turn that one off.

2. Won't do tabs.

3. There isn't a search bar on the top.

4. I don't like their linking/bookmarks settings on the browser window.

5. No wands/password memory

Why NOT Opera

1. It has a huge ad banner that only goes away when you purchase it.

2. It doesn't block things.

3. I like the sleeker icons.

4. It won't do auto complete like IE.

5. Can't check gmail from google.

6. 7.5 won't check hotmail

7. Starts slow on my machine.

Why Firefox,

1. Free

2. Does do autocomplete

3. Easy to do the password protection

4. Checks all my emails.

Why NOT Firefox,

1. Starte slow on my machine.

I added them up and Firefox won. And I work with a rabid Mac lover so I generally just do the opposite of whatever he does. Firefox just does the most of what I want out of a browser. That is why I switched.

1.) All software is "free", were talkin about the quality of the product

2.) Does do autocomplete

3.) Are you a nub? It is easy

4.) Opera checks email, DUH

5.) Your comp must suck, Firefox takes me 1-2 seconds, opera instantly

6.) Opera uses LESS memory, far more stable, faster

7.) Hotmail client access is blocked now.., the website loads just fine

You should really learn how to use ur comp b4 doin reviews

Btw..it does check gmail, another DUH, maybe you forgot to actually try the browser before talkin

Why NOT Opera

1.? It has a huge ad banner that only goes away when you purchase it.

1. Opera is quality! Opera doesnt pride itself as "The Fastest Browser on Earth" just for nothing...

2. doesn't block things? can moremore vague? if your talking about adblocker... works fine for me, I havent seen one popup in ages.

3. better icons is a reason to hate a browser? just get another skin... sheesh...

4. eh.. i dont know what auto-complete is... (i must not use it, so it doesnt matter to me)

5. Opera does check Gmail with 7.6 beta. (when identified as Opera)

6. Opera 7.5 wont check hotmail? what? im using 7.6 now... but before i used 7.5 fine and was checking hotmail all the time... where did you pull that from?

7. Takes maybe 5 seconds... alot shorter than firefox on my system (10-15 seconds)

Firefox is a good browser, its alot more equal with Opera as you may think, but i still think Opera is faster than Firefox, and I never liked how Firefox performed, it just seems slow to me, moreso than IE even. and it annoys the crap out of me when people say they dont like Opera because of a tiny ad banner and they didnt even take 5 minutes to see how the program actually performs.

I will tell ya the funny thing about this. What is the big freaking deal about the diffrent types of browsers? You people get all worked about a damned computer browser to look at websites. Give me a break... step into reality my friends... But that may be besides the point of this thread... One if not 100% better than the other . IE has its good points and so does Firefox.

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
