Daninku Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I thin IE is not a bad browser. It's more FF and Opera fans which are making it look that bad. I used FF, I used Opera I use Maxthon (IE). Personally, all the browsers have their ups and downs. Maybe FF memory, maybe Opera something else, and maybe IE security. Infact that;s why I use Maxthon. Anyways, depends on the user's likings :) They are all good browsers. But I use Maxthon, because (look at my PC) it's crap and if I had to use Firefox it would run slow and a 128MB of RAM :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I don't think it's a bad browser. It has many advantages as well as disadvantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctomer Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 My opinion, as a web developer, is that IE stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E t h a n Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 IE is 100% perfect for Windows Update and Office Update! I would never use any other browser than IE for those two sites. Otherwise, out of concern for my computer's (and my) safety, I use FF. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I do feel much safer with FF. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyfromabove Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 IE IS 100% bull****, you get more spyware and viruses from it even with the virus thingys. It is RUBBISH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaffra Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 i use them both, mainly ie. i dont like firefox because i dont have time to find the billions of extensions.sometimes it causes lots of mem usage for just a browser. I prefer opera in this aspect, but its not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but if you know what you're doing you're fine, although yes I agree is more secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em_te Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Integration wise IE is good. I like having the address bar in my taskbar so I can launch any URL immediately. I also use it in the form of Active Desktop since I keep my calendaring and scheduling website open on the desktop at all times. Otherwise with normal Internet browsing I use Firefox.

Mx Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Bored kids at home+ internet = stupid neowin posts. 585711179[/snapback] Well summed up. I think IE is fine, its my main web browser. I've never got a virus or some nasty bit of spyware. Why? I stay secure, browse with sense, run a firewall, antivirus, I'm fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianmac45 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 there should be an intermediate choice....i think it's good for some situations and bad for others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavo Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 IE and Firefox are both awful. IE has a solid interface but a crappy engine. Firefox has a solid engine but a crappy interface. Thank God for KDE and Konqueror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted April 1, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 1, 2005 It has it's merits, but I think it's time for it to move aside and let the web move forward in terms of technologies like (X)HTML and CSS, rather than stay predominantly stuck where it is. For example, 39% is pretty bad: http://nanobox.chipx86.com/browser_support.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
