Anyone here still use IE7 or mostly firefox users?


Recommended Posts

IE7 addresses a lot of the issues people have been complaining about in IE, since...well...forever. Don't get me wrong there are things that don't stricktly speaking conform quite to standards, but so do FF, Opera and just about any other browser you want to praise.

IE7 really levels the plaing field in terms of compliance, developing cross browser has suddenly become a hell of a lot easier.

I love the IE7 interface v. simple and streamlined.

I like Firefox, but it takes ages to start up.

Huh? Something's wrong there. It fires up for me instantly.

Anyway, I'm 99.9% Firefox user, I ditched IE back in 2004 when I found out about Firefox :) I can't stand IE now (although yes, it is better now compared to the IE6 days!)

I like tabbed browsing the most (although that's standard these days) and also, the customization options. I can make it look just the way I want :) (IE7 isn't quite as flexible in this area)

I use Firefox mainly but i have IEtab installed so just in case a site requires IE, i can switch to IE on the fly.

This is my situation too. I use Opera on my really old desktop though since it's lighter but mainly it's like this:

1st: FireFox

2nd: Opera

EDIT:

FF opens for me quickly too unless it's installing updates.

Exactly how long is it?

I can definitely understand why a web developper would hate IE and never use it, but from the internet surfer point of view (me), IE7 simply works, and it has a fast, clean interface. And on the casual moment when it's too slow or doesn't work, I use Opera which is light, fast and doesn't give me any problem. I've nothing against Firefox, I just don't see the need for it personnaly.

I'm back with Internet Explorer 7. After years with Firefox I realised that (IMHO) Firefox is buggier and I get sick of the stream of new versions fixing some really obvious flaws that the developers of Firefox should have tested for.

I now use Internet Explorer 7 and IE7Pro Addon, the combination work great for me.

I don't even have IE7 installed. It's so bulky an laggy.

Funny that's exactly the description I'd give Firefox. :/

Firefox is my main browser, but

I use IE7 for those IE only sites.

I use Firefox 100%, only time I will use ie7 is if its an Internet explorer only site and I absolutely need to access said site. Firefox for me loads up faster, and just generally runs smoother for me than Ie7.

I use FF full time but I have nothing against IE in fact I see them as quite comparable but the extensions on Firefox win it for me. :)

You can always use the IE Tab extension. (nice)

IE7 is almost perfect for me. There are certain times that I have websites open in multiple tabs. It doesn't go back to the last active tab if I close one. Other than that unfortunate problem, I have no issues. I actually don't have any other browser installed on my system at all at the moment. Yes, I have tried them all.

I'm currently using Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 2 (3.0b2) and it's the greatest ever. Smooth, quick, responsive, very light and not bulky at all, and adds support for .aPNG's! (animated PNGs, which are way better than GIFs because they support semi-transparent pixels and are just basically the amazing-ness of PNGs but can be animated, so no 256 colour limit!)

Also Using ff3 b2, it kicks ass MUCH better than ff2. The UI and Loading of Web pages is MUCH faster. memory usage is way down too.
