Truth about firefox


Recommended Posts

Not this crap again! Are people just going to annoy us until we break-down and switch to Opera?

I believe the annoyances shall never cease... :no: Personally, I wouldn't mind everyone switching to Opera :) But I don't want them to switch simply because someone told them to or they were annoyed into it. The annoyances were the reason why I stayed away from Firefox for so long until I found Opera... If it hadn't been so annoying with all of the hype, then I might have chosen to use Firefox instead...

I don't like IE7 that much, I'm pretty happy with FF2, I know it's not perfect but I like it. I have used Opera but just kept using FireFox. I admit I should give Opera another try to give it a fair chance.

Edit: Edit: my edit said something about multiplatorm but after some more searching I found the Mac and Linux versions of Opera, I'll give it a try for a week and see what i think.

I still use both. At home, under Windows X, I use IE all the way. On my linux boxes, FF2. At work, the corporate standard is IE6 and that's that. I wish I could have IE7, but it's not approved yet.

As for this guy's site, its not meant to present both sides, it's only rebutting the points he has issues with. And that's absolutely fine. Spamming it though? Not my call.

edit: Not really understanding the motivation in this personal crusade either.

I never shoved it onto other people or forced anyone to view this, and I dont want to start a flame war, but all I am doing is presenting civil opposition to claims that firefox is best web browser ever. I can see that too many people on this forum are not going to give civil comments so I am going to stop posting in this topic.

For f.... sake, it's just a browser.

The site feeds on the misquotes of a few misinformed fanboys. It's a browser and, at the time, it was obviously better than IE6. The term "best" is very relative. For me, it is the "best" because it does things the way I like.

none of the browsers and the perfect and that site lies, lies, and lies, but everyone is different (even if they make wrong choices by going with IE) pure lies that site is :)

Oh noes!!!111eleven

You copied part of his webpage, which clearly states that his content is protected by the DMCA :rofl:

This site was spammed here in various threads on Neowin by "Mastertech" who is now a "banned" member. Mastertech vigorously defended his site, while ignoring any opposing evidence, or even reasoned questioning.

Many of the "myths" are taken from random posts he found online. The site has some marginal information, presented with an "I dislike everything about Firefox" position.

I would do just as well with a BillGatesMyths.com site, where I show how that Bill Gates really isn't the antichrist (as some have claimed. :rolleyes:

The real truth of the matter is that neowin is the site with marginal information.

Anyone who had ever been a long time member of this forum should hang their head in shame at the disgrace it has become.

I don't care what people say, firefox feels right to me. Whenever i try Opera, IE7, maxathon etc I always go back to Firefox. I really do get sick of these threads. People will use whatever browser they feel comfortable with.

Yep /end thread :)

Please end this thread!

At the end of the day people will just use what they want to use if it screws their computer up or not. They will use what is most comfortable to them. Anyone that has un-tech savvy parents with access to the internet can confirm this.

/me goes back to Lynx

You graphics based people scare me :p

i'm not sure which is the more pathetic - the person who actually took the time to register a domain ridiculing a f---ing browser and its parent organization, or the original poster with the competing browser avatar (seriously, go outside every once in a while).

how much of the stuff on that site is true? Some of it is totally against what I've been hearing such as the vulnerabilities of firefox vs IE. IE has less?
