Which one. I use internet explorer by force of habit, but I am trying to use firefox more. I just need to learn the features.

Explain why you use the one you use.

At RedHat, we use nothing but Mozilla software.

Our OS is RH Enterprise Linux also.


Microsoft is garbage!

i use to use maxthon because of the easy of just sliding your mouth left or right while holding right mouse button down but now I use foxfire, mainly b/c it saves my passwords, which EI does too, but it saves http: at the top better as well. I just hit "f" up there and it goes to IA's forums.

P.S.- tabs are the shit!

i particularly like firefox because it has tabbed browsing and that works great on macs (IE may by now too, but haven't touched it in a couple of years). firefox seems to crash less and also protects against pop-up's better. and (unlike older versions of IE) it's compatible with transparent PNG images which is sometimes useful for web design.

I use the hell outta firefox!! Have been for about 3 years or more now! I love the features of it. Comes with a pop up blocker among other things

LINUX IS THE SHIT!!! lol I'd like to get a copy of redhat. But, When I moved to GA, I gave up my niec computer i built haha. (gave it to my dad so its easier to keep in touch daily) Now i'm using a 30 dollar Thrift store rebuild lol. Not complaining though! It runs AIM, Firefox, Frostwire, and Photoshop! lol So i'm quite happy!


Someday i'll have a better one with Linux...Best OS i've ever used

Firefox.

Tabbed browsing, information auto-fill in, built in pop-up blocker, not near as much spyware gets through, customizable skins, PIPELINING!!

IE 6 I believe. I kinda like things and stick to them. I only recently upgraded my AIM. The only thing I would consider upgrading to is the new IE, but I have heard bad things about it, and oddly enough, I didn't like the tabbed browsing. I had FF for one day, and went back to IE.

Also, as lame as it may sound, I don't like doing what everyone else does or has lol. With most things. Like Ipod, FF, etc.

I use IE especially now that IE7 is out. The tabbed browsing is the same as firefox and IE7 has much better pop up protection and security then before. I have had no issues since downloading IE7

IE7 does everything and more then firefox does ;)

...don't make me fucking cut you.


You have a higher chance of going to a website with a IE vulnerability than a FF vulnerability. Therefore, from a security standpoint, you should use Firefox. Also, IE are some dickriders, they took tabs from FF, and I just hate Microsoft.

actually if you use IE7 i would go to say its more secure then FF and definitely needed if you any design/development work considering more 70% of the world uses IE; my biggest complaint about IE7 is the ftp use = null. you have to use explorer which is kinda annoying!

but on my mac i use FF b/c its most update to date browser
