Capt Snow Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Just switched my moms computer over to firefox, after her active x controls were all set to enable all activity, and 80 different exe's installed themselves into her computer.

Capt Snow Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Luckily, They weren't Spyware or Trojans, or worse. Whatever they were, they were really easy to get rid of, and the computer is fine now. Damn IE, the cause of the worlds problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade102384 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 i also think firefox kicks ass. IE is good but its popup blocker sucks. i dont use firefox but i used it for a week and i enjoyed it, its easier to use and it offers more security than IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvester Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 good, glad to see more peeps try a non-IE alternative. for a second i got nervous thinking this forum was going to be 'dumbed-down' to low level browser standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acro Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 FireFox only. I test a lot of browsers (IE Opera, Avant, NetScape,...) and FireFox is for me the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worshipper pa Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I have used Opera for years now. FireFox seems to be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheyda Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I use Firefox, but sometimes when you have a window with a scrollbar within the site you're viewing (hope you can figure out what I'm talking about) it doesn't work and the javascript that changes the colours of these scrollbars doesn't work, either. In IE they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acro Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hmmm maybe, but I only don`t want a virus,... on my pc I have all updates, spybot, ad-aware, karpersky, thunderbird and of course FireFox. And you have cool features like table-browsing. FireFox is simply better then IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quasicartes Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Mozilla is faster than IE, and it can be tweaked to make it faster! How can you tweak the other browsers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
