sciguy007 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 like some other people, i didnt make the change immediately. it took me a few weeks to really get adjusted to a new browser after using IE for so long. but once i made the change, it was for good. tabbed browsing and extensions were the main reasons, but i also like the fact that its open source with a huge community behind it. it also has new features added to it continuously.

G4M3R Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The main reason for me to switch was all the homepage hijacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadeater Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Rated from 1 out of 5: 5 Speed 5 Extensions 4 Adblocking/filtering 4 Security (most security problems are user error) 4 Themes 3 Tabs (I rarely use them, bad habit maybe?) 3 Open Source 3 Installation size, ease of upgrades 2 It's not Microsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicalAngel Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Well... IE stopped working for me. Lol So i had to use a different browser. Firefox was the next best choice. But once i switched, i liked it because it was a lot safer to use and i LOVE the tabs and the pop up blockers with out the noise. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futb0l Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I used Maxthon formerly MyIE2 for quite a while, then made the switch to Firefox because it is not bloated with features, simple, easy to use, it has essential features (like tabbed browsing), and some nice extensions. I like its download manager too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blush Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Aside from Netscape, I never had experience with any other browsers other from IE before. A friend introduced me to Firefox, which I did keep on my computer, but I didn't use it in the beginning because I didn't like the feel of the browser. Eventually, as time went on, I unexpectedly grew to use Firefox primarily. I didn't even focus on the fact that FF has tabbed browsing and extensions, the switch was just gradual. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
