Firefox or Internet Explorer?

First topic message reminder :

Do you have Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?
I have Mozilla Firefox and find it much faster and easier than Internet Explorer.

no firefox is not only more safer it has
more options
good and fun addons easy to install
faster
easier
you can install anything custom like a theme

who is bother about lame add ons who is bother about lame themes too

it's not faster at all show me prove that firefox is faster than internet explorer i dont want silly reviews or what other people says

IE is the best..

Firefox. Dunno too much add-up makes it more slower

proof:
A
B - proof for dummies
C
D + review from cnet... it doesn't get better then this
E - firfox 1,0 is worse then IE7
F - will IE8 beat FF3?
G - how much CPU usage is used
H - something for developers... this blog makes no sense to me
I maybe forbes will change your mind

Listen spook i'm not trying to be a menace... i am seriously passionate about FF. Oh and just to let you know... i typed into google:
"internet explorer is better than firefox" and the first couple headers confirmed it... after ward the headers automatically changed to why FF is better then IE.

I think you should give FF a proper try, on a neutral basis. Don't install FF saying that its pathetic, cos you'll get nothing out of the test. test it for about a week or 2. check out security and the add-ons.

from the material above i read that FF is far better on a daily basis , for normal people. IE takes over if you are a developer or something of that sort. But other then that microsoft is not really putting much into IE... apart from stealing ideas from FF forums and development area.

So give FF a proper chance...

i dont want silly reviews or what other people says

Its a sign if everybody is saying the same thing...

The fact that its now got more bells and whistles than norton antivirus,its bloated beyond reason.
Mind you its still better than internet explorer.

that dont change my mind at all, like i said before i'm not bother who steal what from where, on my computer internet explorer work faster than firefox, firefox was already installed on my computer but i like internet explorer i do think it's 100% times better, and that proof for dummie is yet another poor review i have seen, my serurity is bang on i never had spyware or virus from internet explorer

just a simple question, as i don't really want to argue about this...what program(s) do you use to check if you've got spywares, trojans and such ?

um spook firefox has been tested in real tests and is prooven alot faster
and it also takes less cpu usage

So all agreed that Firefox is the best!

i have "mix browser"

well as it been tested on my computer? ok if you think firefox is better that is your opinon my opinon is internet explorer is better, in my own opinon internet explorer is faster than firefox i have got them both on my computer it take forever for pictures to load up on firefox and i dont have the same problem with internet explorer & stop saying you going get spyware and virus from internet explorer when it's not true

Well maybe its just you who doesn't get spyware, but somehow others do.
Which browser is faster really depends on your internet speed and connection >> but thats just a BTW fact

you only get spyware or anything like that if you clicking happy person, think before you click on something. if not official then dont click it, you cant blame internet exploere for that.

spook wrote:I use Nod32

Me too.

As usual - you are wrong.
Spyware/Malware can be gotten in numerous ways - even to the extent of installing a legitimate application. And if you really think Nortons will keep Spyware/Malware off your system you have another thing coming.

But don't let far more experienced users tell you anything. Go on in your own way. Happy computing!

But isn't that mean IE is not suitable to allll kind of people?
It does not helping to prevent spywares UNLESS the user knows that the website is harmful.

What if they accidently open a harmful website using IE, they will get spywares.
But if they accidently open a harmful website using FireFox, they are still safe..

Most of them then will throw IE in FIRE.

There is an astonishing amount of misinformation on these forums by people who really have no clue about computers.

Firefox is not inherently safer than IE, when intelligent and informed users select the proper options in either FF's Options or IE's Tools menu. IE happens to be more of a target for attacks because there are certain vulnerabilities that can be exploited by people with extensive experience in hacking. Your 15 year old wannebee hacker who hangs around hacking and warez sites is not going to have those skills. FF just happens to be less so. Properly setup, IE can be reasonably safe to use, IF you also have a suite of spyware and virus scanners running. A virus scanner alone will not protect you from picking up spyware and/or malware. That is simply a fact. Whether or not you (generic YOU) choose to acknowledge that fact is entirely up to you as an individual. The fact is that NO browser will or has the ability to protect you from spyware on its own, no matter what kinds of websites you frequent. For that, you need a program like SpywareBlaster, Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware 2007, or another of the 4 or 5 programs known to work most of the time. Better yet - use at least two - one that runs continually in the background to prevent spyware ever getting loaded (like SpywareBlaster) and one that requires manual execution. Knowledge of a program like HiJack This can help you find trojans or other bad boys lurking on your system.

Finally, the reason most power users, users with extensive computer experience and skills, and developers use Firefox rather than IE is for the reason Sunny_D and I said way back in this thread. That being that IE simply does not comply with the majority of HTML 4 and CSS 2 standards and does not display websites as written without all sorts of code hacks that most of us are tired of putting in our codes. That is jusy a fact, whether you like it or not. It has nothing to do with speed - which really has more to do with you system specs and internet connection than the browser itself, although numerous tests by experts have concluded that IN MOST CASES (not all), Firefox is faster than IE at most tasks. Conformity to international standards is the problem for IE, as it seems to be with most MicroSoft applications. If you want to see websites displayed properly, as the designer intended, you have to use Firefox or Opera - the ONLY Pc based browsers that do conform to standards.

I have been building systems since the only operating system was DOS, and I know what I'm talking about here. If spook or others think they know better ... have fun. And be sure to keep a good system backup image for when your systems puke themselves.

god you alot are jokes right if you think firefox is better that ok BUT i know internet explorer is better suit me fine and firefox dont,

ok back to spyware and virus CAN you tell me why i never had a problem with any of these things?

1. And now you agree that Firefox MIGHT be better than IE; in your older post(s) you said it's 100% rubbish which started the flame. We can summarize that IF Firefox is 100% rubbish, still MIGHT be better than your IE.

2. Why you never had the problem? Because you were never brave enough (I guess) to try entering any HARMFUL sites with your IE?

then explain to me.... how:
I am a happy clicker on FF and nothing happens, but when i'm a happy clicker on IE i get junk on my PC??

You don't read very well, do you spook. Ignorance is indeed a wonderful thing for some.

1. You did by saying: "if you think firefox is better that ok...", see-- you didn't counter me, but yet you only want to hold you decision to be with your IE. Thank you for thinking it's rubbish (but not for me nor the rest). That also means you admit that (your) IE is worst-est-est-est than a rubbish.

2. You SHOULD go to any harmful sites (not only to find porns, or to get cracks) there are many more other harmful sites that don't serve porns / cracks (I thought you knew it because you are "good in computer" or was it just a phrase?).
As to test your IE's security you should do like what Jalokim did, try to be a happy clicker. Then make a comparison IE vs FF. Why should you afraid? Didn't you think IE is more secure than FF?

...Well..be brave, kid.

Hey, where's all the Safari users?

I have Firefox 3 too and I think it's kinda cool but I haven't seen a browser that beats Safari. It's so secure, good-looking, lightweight and fast and I have no reason to use any other browser. And I have used Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Camino and few other browsers.
Safari4ever.

spook why would u ever get virus if u dont do anything try downloading and watching porn with IE ull get viruses , spyware etc
i watch porn and dl all the time with firefox though with IE ur computer will get owned eventually lol
