I use IE, the reasons:

1) Roboform integrates with it (been using this for years), opera's password manager has never impressed me.

2) I haven't found a program yet that will automatically move my favorites into other browsers each time I open them.

3) IE (for me) seems to render html & images much faster than Opera or Mozilla.

I've edited most of the dll's related to IE, so mine does look nice as well ;)

I hate defending IE, but here it goes.

IE is prone to more spyware, invisible installs,

Turn off ActiveX, no matter what M$ says it's not your friend. :D

no download management. 

Many  free ware download managers for I.E.  Does not need to be built in, because so many available.

It may be of decent speed - however, Opera can render pages quicker than IE.

Can't say your wrong.

Opera gives you more control over your browser than IE.

I.E. has tons of setting people fail to use, because the control panel is so idiot proof that it's confusing.:D

regardless of how fast hte code is rendered, the quote from cnet says what matters, ie will display your page faster than the other browsers which means htat hte rendering speed doesn't help since your still waiting longer than ie.

ie is the only browser that supports the latest and newest html tags, along with css, it deosn't display pages wrong when you format a stylesheet how you want to, it doesn't ignore the code that every mozilla based browser does.

until i can code a site to display in ie, than open up another browser and see no changes in display i wont change, pheonix has done nothing but made the design process longer since it can't do what ie can and i have to find other ways of coding hte same effect in html.

example, open my website in ie: http://rracing.cjb.net/revo/index.php now open it in mozilla, and see how much it gets messed up.

Looks good in Phoenix too..:D

Yeah, of course if you want the best speed on XP you get IE6. Its fully integrated in the OS.

If you don't like this switch to Linux and get Phoenix.

Oh wait, you guys are in a Windows oriented forum, so you're complaining about an OS that you can't seem to ever let go of.

Bull, we have no choice, Linux is not a desktop os. It tries but is not. You should not be forced to install any software on your system you did not want and did not ask for. That goes for Linux, Windows and the Mac OS.

Mozilla is a prime example of a "standards compliance" browser. Internet Explorer is NOT, even though it may render pages better. The web is littered with proprietary HTML code from MS, which doesn't surprise me why a real standards compliant browser like Mozilla can't render pages as good. BTW, only recently has Microsoft started adhering to W3C standards. Get over it already...

    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration

    • >Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. The story behind that bug would be an interesting one.
    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
