Re: Why put up with the pain. Change browsers!

What's that... ie is your favorite browser because it is just plainly better than firefox, no matter what extension is installed? ... i know, you don't need to state the obvious, because firefox is like the "macintosh" of browsers. there is a reason why the world in on ie.

Re: Why put up with the pain. Change browsers!

i like IE due to the fact it has commerical support, is well integrated, well supported by plugins, lots of pages work on it, and it is easy to keep updated, and can be locked down centrally in a commercial enviorment.

Re: Why put up with the pain. Change browsers!

IE6 runs fast but has so many security holes, and is not standards compliants. I like IE7 better for this reason, plus IE7 has tabs. Only downside of IE7 is its a bit slow

Re: Why put up with the pain. Change browsers!

One more thing , u will not get the cool add-ons available in firefox in any other browser.
it really makes your browsing experience more pretty n comfortable.
this makes firefox ahead of others .
but for speed i also found the new Chrome(google) as the fastest and simplest.

Re: Why put up with the pain. Change browsers!

I have latest Firefox 3.0.1 that I installed just a couple days ago and IE7, but I don't see much difference speedwise. They are both about the same on my computer.
