[quote author=“JMillion”]IE is crap. i use Firefox and Maxthon
While I would tend to agree due to the large amount of security flaws—however, you must look at what you view when you are on the web—I’ve had ton of problems viewing SSL connections using Firefox or Opera; therefore, sometimes I have no choice but to resort to using IE

Wow, I’m impressed =) Think you’ll market it?
Perhaps someday—It’s far from perfect…although if I get all the bugs worked out you too can surf the web using ‘Frankenstien’*
*Name given because it incorporates the best of all worlds just like are favorite green monster.
[quote author=“SpiceLMF”]i use ie but i’ve been thinking about going to firefox (like the tab function) but i don’t know if i’ll make the switch
and munk.. i love the name haha.
you should make the change. IE sux, you stick with it, you’re gonna have your computer destroyed with spyware and crap. even the gov’t said that IE blows.

well then again.. i don’t usually have trouble with spyware so.. yeah. I may get firefox and see how I like it… but i usually get very set in my ways in respect to my computer haha.
built in pop-blocker with firefox ive used it for months and months and i have regrests except i cant search xdcc with it. well i can but the links to mirc dont work so i just use ie for that
i’m another “other”.
i use slimbrowser, a great tabbed browser w/ built in pop up block and other features.
i wrote a review of it on http://www.pcplayground.com/ if anyone wants to check it out. and it’s official site is: http://flashpeak.com/

if you like the tabbed browsing feature and still aren’t sure about switching, try using somethin like Avant Browser . it’s basically an add on to ie that allows for tabbed browsing in a familiar environment.
[quote author=“dangrouslychzy”][quote author=“SpiceLMF”]i have a question on firefox and any other browser.. how is it on using system resources? does it use a lot of memory?
Doesn’t use any more than IE does, and there’s alot less clutter with the interface.
Regardless of what is said about IE, I still think it is a quality browser—while yes, it does have it’s security flaws, but I’m sure firefox does as well. Only people aren’t trying to break into it as much as they do with IE. There wouldn’t be so many problems if people on the web used the least bit of caution—90% of people will open anything that pops up on their screen, or arrives in their email. Education is the strongest defense against any type of cyber attacks.
Not that I’m pro for any browser—I just wanted to get that off my chest after the day I’ve had with the damn W32.Beagle.AO@mm virus. BTW- We use all windows products in production with the exception of some of our servers. And we offer a windows training course including how to ID potential security threats, and we have very little problems with system breakins.
Ok, I just switched to Firefox a few days ago from IE. I like the tabbed windows, but I cannot see any pictures in the gear live forums ... or other sites. Also I dont like how firefox handles aimexpress(which i have to use at work), it doesn’t scroll the buddy list, but the whole page.
Any suggestions how to make firefox more user friendly? BTW, i dont have any extra extensions downloaded, what are the best ones? I love the google toolbar autofill option, if that available for firefox? Thx.
IE just became more secure after the XP SP2 install, has a built-in pop-up blocker also and more stuf 😊
