gohankid77 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 It's a browser? Firefox is ONE OF THE BEST things to happen to the Web development and security areas of the world. Web developers got tired of the lack of support for W3C specs in IE (which constituted a new IE version that never came) and normal end-users got tired of ActiveX controls causing their computers to be infected with viruses, trojans and spyware (yes, I know it can be disabled, but it is too much work to mess with...) Firefox has security settings tweaked to the best possible combination for the average end-user and the lack of ActiveX support further helps avoid spyware, viruses and trojans from automatically being installed on a computer. This is why I converted, and I'm only 17 (almost)! Honestly, security is more important than an abundance of options (which are too technical for the average end-user) and an abundance of buttons on a toolbar. Firefox has a built-in Google searchbar to differentiate between URLs and search queries whereas IE uses the address bar to search MSN(too many adverts, the popups - which are also taken care of by Firefox - are a turnoff) if and only if no URLs pertaining to the query are found quickly. My final words in this post: Love Firefox like you love your family and Firefox will keep you secure as a gift to you. Love IE like you love your family and IE will install spyware as a gift to you.

Where I am, it is Nov. 08, 2004 10:55PM CST (22:55 (-6:00)). Using GMT.... Nov. 09, 2004 4:55 GMT ?? Since there are 4 hours left, I'll get mine in the morning (I'm going to sleep soon).
