Internet Explorer Vs Firefox

Zubi · 06-28-2007, 05:45 PM

I'm new to the forum & I love online debates so I thought I would kick off my first post with this, I only just downloaded firefox and i love it, my vote goes to firefox and i will never go back! I mainly like it because it has tabbed browsing, its fast, includes spell checking, you can add extra plugins & extensions! if you use firefox already, upgrade to firefox 2 now, if you don't have it yet, download it FREE from: Firefox

Which do you prefer? please cast your vote & give your views...

IE is very insecure and vulnerable to unencrypted web developments.

Firefox tracks and sends everything you do. IE does not. I don't care for the new IE either so I use version 6.

There's always going to be this argument of which is the best web browser. At the end of the day, they're both equal; Internet Explorer loads faster (as it is basically part of the operating system), but Mozilla Firefox has more features. Each browser can be made out to be equal with any other. However, when coding a web site, I do think it's a lot easier to code for Firefox, because of the way it renders pages.

i don't really agree that all are equal, i would agree that it's a matter of personal preference though. their was a time when even microsoft discouraged the use of their browser due to severe security issues. the press release can still be found on floating around on the web, granted, it is a few years old now.

beside the fact that i dislike IE's new interface, the main issue that steered me away from IE over the years is it's poor standards compliant's. Firefox seems much better in that regard.

Haha. Firefox. Yeahh.

IE is more commonly used, but is WAY more popular among web designers and the like. Why's that?

They're n00bs. =^.^=

Internet Explorer loads faster? Ya mean when you start it up you don't have to wait as long for the window to pop up?

Well, I find that Firefox loads pages and new tabs faster, so poo on IE, as the startup time is worth the wait.
