Of course, everyone loves that sound adaware makes when it detects a new spyware item.

What sound?...Oh wait I don't get that sound, because I still haven't got any spy-ware or ad-ware. :D

Then of course ya'll will bring up tabbed browsing and all that bullshit...and then get all pissy hissy and say "FF pwnz0rz"...then launch nukes at all the IE users because ya'll <3 FF.Then...the world goes into a nuclear ice age and all of humanity dies.Well some...the rest of humanity gets mutated into humanoid bunny rabbits...
 
Extensions...themes....RSS feeds...Adblock (an extension that deserves to be mentioned as a firefox feature)...more security....tabbed browsing, ect...

Cmon tron you know you want to download it.

www.mozilla.org

Oh btw firefox has now surpassed 50 million downloads.
 
^_^! I've finally got all the Opera plugins working
Now i can use this instead of FF

Use opera!
(Does anyone know how to change the new page location?)
 
I ain't switching guys...so just stop.

Already have an ad block...lavasoft ad-ware and sp2 has it built in.Themes I don't need or care for...extensions that I probally won't use...tabbed browsing I don't need because I rarely have more then 4 or 5 websites up at once.Security...well I haven't got any spyware/ad-ware/virus/worms yet.

I don't think any of us really care. We'll just crack back and relax, revelling at the thought of our superior software.
 
Speaking of Firefox, how do you use Adblock? Just installed it, now what? :eek:
 
I don't like tabbed browsing... I like holding shift and opening about 10 different windows. I'd like to use Firefox more though, but it has too many quirks. I use Firefox/IE almost an equal amount.

Isn't there a list I can just import to block a list of ads? Sure someone linked to one before.

Probably, but it's more fun to do it yourself, you get the satisfaction of going.

"HAHAHA i see you ad, but not for much longer, welcome to obscurity!!!"
 
Both, but i am slightly preferring Firefox for the security, but seeing that a lot of websites don't work on Firefox, i chose Internet Explorer. Once ie7 comes out, there will be no point in using Firefox apart from "wow, i am so cool, i don't use Microsoft".
 
Firefox. Although I was kind of suprised by how many more of us use Firefox than IE. I think the penetration rate in "normal" society is something like 9%. We're just ahead of the curb I guess. Take that, Society!
 
This poll's probably useless since everyone could by lying. Get someone to check the website stats and see what the proper percentages are.

Why would someone lie on a poll like this?

And not just one person? Everybody?



Tinfoil hat?
 
Both...But mostly firefox.
I use both because sometimes firefox says connection refused or something and Im too lazy to find out how to change the settings, so I just switch to explorer whenever I need to :)

Oh and...sprite :p
 
by, Hellboy. By!


Firefox!
 
teh internet should be explored only by Internet Explorer, you heathens

You don't even know what features ie7 will have, how can you be sure? And I don't know a lot of websites that don't support firefox, and all those that don't are porn sites with ActiveX viruses.

the "features" that IE7 will have are going to be the same "features" that microsoft products always get. Everyone else calls them "bugs", "glitches", or "massive, gaping security holes; dear god make it stop, my brain is bleeding!!!!11"
 
IE7 is gonna have so many security holes in it, you just know thats going to happen, and that every hacker out there will see it as a challenge to be the first to discover each and every one. I'm sticking with Firefox

The ones that don't work are typically back-water hobbyist sites with coding errors that IE somehow ignores. For these rare situations, I personally use the "View this Page in IE" extension (http://ieview.mozdev.org/).
 
Hehe, I remember the first one of these poles with about %30 people using firefox or somthing..



I love it! :cheers:
 
:dozey: I voted IE, of course everyone knows it's WAY better than Your Weakness: "Firefox"... :naughty:

LOL!! NO NO NO! I'm j.k, I actually use both but I really did vote IE because it looked like they needed my support. :sniper:

-michele :p

I have been to quite a few sites that have had major problems with Firefox and a lot of "we do apologise but your browser is not supported by our website". This would be either video streams fail to work at all, adverts and flash banners that are misplaced, websites that just won't load properly. Not porn sites, but main sites such as www.launch.com, www.wwe.com, www.hsbc.com, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

That's because those websites have been dragged together in frontpage or something.

And no, that IE is so forgiving of a missing closing tag or whatever, isn't a good thing at all, it encourages people to make shitty sites.
