web browsers

What web browser do the people here at met use? I was curious, because I use a little of IE and a little of Firefox.

IE. Firefox's integration with Windows is nonexistant, but then integration frequently leads to shared security vulnerabilities....

Why are there two Mozilla options in that poll? Isn't Firefox a Mozilla product? (Or did I totally miss that concept..? :? )

IE has been running uber-slowly on my computer since the service-pack-thing was installed and so now I ise Firefox : DDD. I love the tabbed browsing feature because it doesn't clutter up my taskbar (isthatcaleldataskbar? Where the buttons and windows line up next to the start? =X)

[Eric]

Yeah, Mozilla is the complete package, Firefox is just the browser.

I don't care much for tab browsing. I just use two monitors. :)

[Star of Sorrow]

tabbed browsing is awesome.

[Dmytrin]

Mozilla, cos I like the Mail program.

But now I'm using Safari (Mac)

[M Yui]

always wanted to try Mozilla ^^; but I've been lazy...

[Totchi]

I use IE, but I've been wanting to try Firefox. They say it's good...

I just use two monitors. :)Why don't you just rub it in some more, huh? Well, my monitor's a widescreen, so I'm getting there. ._.

I've been using Firefox for over half a year. It likes to crash on me, but not for any of my friends. I also don't use any extensions for Firefox, much to the dismay of one of my close friends.

[phlyRy]

actually...what's useful about firefox is that it prevents popups and has tabbing built in.

[Eric]

SP2 blocks popups and the Google taskbar has blocked popups forever...

[phlyRy]

yeah...i was in a rush when i was making my post. i was going to point out that there are things for that for IE, but you have to download it additionally (which is good if you are particularly lazy or don't know what you're doing). personally, i think the extensions for firefox are what made me switch over. i like being able to zoom into an image or make the text larger (i.e. i don't like strain on my eyes) of course these features tend to "break" websites. of course, IE's better in terms of plugins and fancy features.

Firefox. Best features would be the built in pop-up blocker and tabbed browsing. Also has nifty plugins to enable right-clicking regardless of the script of the page (finally! I can open a link in a bloody new window without being harassed by javascript popup accusing me of stealing -_-). It might be a little slower than IE, but that might be just my slow comp in general.

[M Yui]

doesn't Netscape also have tabbed browsing...? I haven't used it in a while, but... I thought it did? o.o;

[Urd]

doesn't Netscape also have tabbed browsing...? I haven't used it in a while, but... I thought it did? o.o;Yah, Netscape has tabbed browsing as well. I have no idea as to when exactly it was integrated, but I've seen it in action.

[Eric]

For me, speed is critical. *shrugs*

[Yurika Star]

Firefox + Many extensions.

[H PoP]

I like using firefox knowing I don't have to worry about another trojan or adware, or installing the latest IE security update...

FF never crashed once on my comp and I like how it handles d/ling now. :D

[phlyRy]

i have a friend who had crashed firefox actually...

[Eric]

I don't know about Firefox (or later versions of Mozilla) but Mozilla crashed like no tomorrow on FreeBSD.... POS.
