IE has many security holes, and is slower than Opera. If you like fast things, go for Opera. Much more screen space for the functionality than IE.

Security holes? I never had any problems with viruses on my computer[come to think of it, I NEVER had a problem with viruses ever]. As long as you have a real time protection running on the background, you're good to go[you should have one even if you're not using IE]. Opera is even worse than Firefox about compatiblity. No thanks.

If anything there is too much security in IE sometimes. Can you back up your statement kellyan95?

You know what Firefox is good for ? It's very good for browsing for porn and doing Gaming Lagoon offers. I love that feature that deletes all the browsing history[cookies, temp files, everything] when you close the Firefox window, leaving no trace behind. But I can't do without my cookies on IE

uh Firefox has more security holes then IE these days please actually research instead of being sheep.

kellyan95 · Dec 30, 2007

Yea, which is why I use Opera.

do i really have to say?

A sig like that is a bumpersticker. Do you know what I do with people that have bumper stickers? I punch them in the face. (Or, just ignore them, whichever is easier)

I'm not defending firefox, but don't make baseless claims. I'm not going to disagree with what you said, but stating that with no evidence just makes you sound stupid.

Firefox and Opera are both great in my opinion. The only thing making me reluctant from switching over is extentions.
Firefox's extension system is awesome. You might not believe it - but everytime I tried to look for a certain function, someone's already implemented in extension form.

IE has a similar plug-in feature, but it's absolutely horrible.

Firefox = awesomeness

Opera = speed

IE = ...
Crappy implementation of standards?

Added Opera to the polls options.

Thank you.

And because of yours and some other posts I think I might upgrade to Firefox3.
And yes, of course, thanks to everyone who voted/posted!

That is like saying "I hate anyone who has anything remotely similar to a wireless mouse. If they do, I will murder them by sending a MYZR? or atemjin 707-J, which ever one is available."
Nothing wrong with that, huh?

Firefox of course. The usefulness of Adblock plus (among hundreds of other addons) is just amazing.

Why do people like to discuss browsers?

Content is important, not the media.

gh0ul · Dec 30, 2007

It's all about the add-ons! i just love the customization for firefox.
I just cant go back to IE after converting

Pimp'n out your Firefox.

phoood · Dec 31, 2007

I would definitely use Opera more often if it had the same hotkeys and quirks as FF.

As for the mentioned security holes in firefox, that might be understandable. Sofar, I think the number of IE6 users far outnumber the IE7 users (companies, schools, etc already have IE6 patched up with the usual security measures)

jtroye32 · Dec 31, 2007

Firefox hands down. ESPECIALLY with Firefox 3 on the way.. Beta 2 is awesome (fixes which greatly improve speed, stability, security and memory usage).

ZAFDeltaForce · Dec 31, 2007

I use Firefox as my primary browser with Opera my secondary. I mainly use Firefox because of the extensions, themes and the fact that I've used Firefox for a long time now and am most comfortable with it

RAM-hungry Firefox is not much of a problem when you have 4 gigs of them

Firefox 2 clone, but it uses way less CPU and RAM (50% sometimes)

Netscape is gone(will be gone Feb 1st).
