Full Version: what browser do you use, why?

I currently am using Mozilla's Firefox.

I am using it cause it's more secure than IE, and I really like the "Tab" option.

Instead of having to open a new window, or change my actual webpage, I can open a new tab in Mozilla and browse multiple websites at once. It saves you a lot of space in your Windows bar at the bottom, not to mention a lot easier to browse multiple sites.

What do you guys use? If you do use IE, or netscape...I recommend trying out Mozilla.

www.mozilla.com

That's pretty cool I didnt know you worked for Mozilla... good for you bud thats great. Very nice job. Just awesome

I also use firefox
Jordan
I don't work for Mozilla...

But I do think it's a better browser than IE. Thus, I thought I'd share it with some that don't know about it.

Seriously though I love how every time someone makes a post people have to have some sort of sarcasm, or flame, etc.

Whatever.

I use IE. It works for me. I actually don't think clicking on file --> new is all that difficult.

It isn't.

It's just nice to be able to have multiple sites open without multiple new brower's.

And for Mozilla, all you do is hit ctrl+t or double click the tabl bar.

CTRL-N isn't too hard for IE users either.
Jordan
I understand that. Maybe you don't understand me?

You know the blue tab under this browser? The one where all your running programs are? Well, when you use Mozilla, you don't need to keep opening new programs. They just open inside "one" browser, thus, you save space not only on your desktop, but how hard your PC is working.

So, although for either program you can press ctrl n or ctrl t, Mozilla is the obvious best choice for basic reasons, but as I said before, is also more secure than IE.

I used to use IE just cause it was the standard browser, but once enlightened I figure why not tell others?

Try it out, see how you like it. If not, it's simple to switch back.

i used to like it but since I formatted my computer when I installed it again it was doing weird things. My screen would shake anytime I would view pages with it. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still had the same problem so I gave up have been using IE ever since.

weird

It took me about a month to finally make the change but I finally stopped using IE. You give up a lot of privacy when you use IE . Also, firefox stops a lot of pop-ups. BTW, I hate Tabs and that is the main thing that I hate about Firefox. I just open a new window instead.

One thing that bothers me, Jordan, and since you work for Firefox, you can help change this, when I'm making an e-mail, firefox won't let you use the "paste" function for some reason. Very annoying.

I'm not sure why it does that. I'm sure you can change it.

Why don't you like the tabs? I think that's it's one of it's strongest features..

Again, I don't work for Mozilla smile.gif

Would be kinda cool though maybe.

While even though I do use Safari, I always have IE as my backup browser.

There are way too many web programmers that have no idea what they're doing, and their web page will only work on IE because that big bloated browser knows what they're trying to do.

I use Firefox, have been for a couple years. It is a lot more flexable than IE and definetly is a more stable browser. The basic Firefox browser is a nice upgrade from IE, but when you start adding in the customized plug-ins it really starts to shine.

I also love tabbed browing, though you can get some crappy add ons for IE that emulate this feature.
