What do you think is the best browser. Post the good attributes of it :)

IE RULES!:

1. Faster than Firefox

2. with a taskbar its nearly perfect

3. NOT VIRUS PRONME

4. Does not crash often

5. Userfriendly

6. Default

You do honestly have no taste in browsers :)
This is the best way to explain, and it compiles

program New;
{.include SRL.scar}
var
  FirefoxSpeed, FirefoxSecurity, FirefoxUserFriendlyness,
  IESpeed, IESecurity, IEUserfriendlyness, Firefox, IE: Integer;
  FirefoxExtraBoxes, IEExtraBoxes: Boolean;

procedure KillMySelf;
begin
  WriteLn('Killed myself');
end;

procedure DoCheck;
begin
  if(IE > Firefox)then
    KillMySelf;
end;

procedure SetupTrueStatements;
begin
  IESpeed:= 30;
  IESecurity:= 10;
  IEUserfriendlyness:= 1;

  FirefoxSpeed:= IESpeed * 2;
  FirefoxSecurity:= IESecurity * 2;
  FirefoxUserFriendlyness:= IEUserfriendlyness * 1000;
  FirefoxExtraBoxes:= false; //fx MSN box or Google
  IEExtraBoxes:= true;
  
  Firefox:= FirefoxSpeed + FirefoxSecurity + FirefoxUserFriendlyness;
  IE:= IESpeed + IESecurity + IEUserfriendlyness;

  if(FirefoxExtraBoxes)then
    Firefox:= Firefox div 1000;
  if(IEExtraBoxes)then
    IE:= IE div 1000;
end;

5. Userfriendly (firefox is moreso than ie)

6. things that are default almost always suck (for example, windows comes with wordpad as the default text editor, does that make wordpad better than word then?)

7. TABS (so you dont have to have 10 windows open all the time)

6. no, even microsoft admits that ie isnt very secure :p

7. everyone else <3's tabs :D

YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR MOPAR :p. Norton is the best and Ie is good

1. I know more people who like IE :p

4. Oh that link…. soo does firefox, its just that firefox stops it. If you allow it to run :p

5. Skip this one too

6. Where :p

7. why? i always found them annoying

EDIT: Darn, Ie just crashed again… ITS STILL GOOD

<3 IE
<3 Firefox

I use both equally, and they are both good :)

i <3 tabs and mouse gestures

Firefox is muchos more user friendly, and with tabs, it rules the world!
Have found that it crashs on certain sites, but ive found IE to be just as unstable

How about Opera owns all :)

Hehe, mopar I guess I have to much time, was waiting for my mom to finish diner :)

on all points any default browser and so on sucks ! big time :)
Norton sucks! big time, worst layout ever, AVG rules it ..

Lets get something clear: 1. Norton Rules, it has realtime protection nad gets rid of so many viruses :) Small portable, etc.

Okay

Right now Firefox seems to be in the lead…. didn't you guys ever use IE :p YOu guys are traitors !:p

I don't like ie because

A. 20 windows and 5 downloads open slows your comp down.
B. No tabs.

I like firefox because

A. 1 window for firefox, 1 for downloads.
B. tabs.

Firefox only crashes if I do somthing stupid so it lags and I try and exit.

I used IE when I had dile-up. God a slow internet connection is bad enough, but having IE crash everytime your doing somthing important is worse. :(

norton sucks balls..symantec works 5x better(same company…but i have corparate version).
oh yea windows sucks. opera is good too, but not as good as ff.

wait, i have systematic now. IE RULES

I seem to have both. :confused:

Sorry sdcit if it sounds like we are all picking on you but…
Norton is not small and portable by any stretch of the imagination. I think the hands down winner for a small footprint and highest protection rating is NOD32. Not free, but worth the $24 / year. My little laptop cant afford heavy cpu usage by the virus protction, so just before christmas I had done extensive market research for the best virus protection.

Check it out here

lol, i now use systematic :). Hm…. NOD32 you say…

So whats your favorite browser flyboy :)

firefox > opera > * > ie
got it?

From: sppt
firefox > opera > * > ie

couldn't have said it better myself ;) :D

um firefox is better

1. IE is faster than my ass! And only my ass! My hart beats faster mwahaha! IE OWNED!
2. IE SUCKS cause it was made my MyAssSoft
3. IE Sucked my dick and i didn't like it
4. IE is worser cause my mom uses it and she sais that all things that suck are good only 4 her
5. IE gives horrible massages
6. IE doesn't find any good pr0n :(
7. Firefox finds better pr0n than IE :D :D :D

Mozilla Firefox all the way. Don't use Internet Explorer, it sucks and is not safe. If you don't like Firefox, then use either Opera or Avant.. :p

For me Firefox is way faster than IE, btw. Also waaaaaay more safe. I once made a mistake with IE, I entered to some noob serial site and in a second or something, my computer was full of shit. Which got installed to my computer by pop ups. It used to be always so safe with Firefox so that's why didn't knew it would do it with IE :rolleyes: I started using Firefox like 3 years ago, and there is no way back. Sometimes I have used Opera too. But IE never again. Until they make it safe to use of course. But not even then, I think.

<33 Mozilla Firefox
</3 Internet Explorer :mad:

um firefox is better
thats all your post needed to say. Please grow up and talk like a mature human because your age is showing and its not a good thing. K THX Bye

my avatar says it all now :p


firefox is still in the lead. I sitll dont see whats so good bout it

Opera Owns all,
Too many things to list..

K Thx bye <3 Pwnd

IE is the way to go…..sure FireFox had tab's but IE will be getting them in the next update and IE has a ftp thing also so ithink IE wins overall.

Uhh… Mouse gestures? Save link as .txt
Save document as .txt save any word as .txt….
I doubt Ie has that,

OPERA IS THE FASTEST!!!!one!!!111!!

I don't see how my age is showing, however your age is. I put detail to support my idea, while all you have to say is "please grow up". So you just Pwned yourself.

And say thank you for me correcting your post :D

No offence, but all you said was how IE is like your ass, and Firefox is faster than your ass…

They weren't very supported arguments.
But anyway, I don't want to get in a flame war here… so I'm out.

ie sucks balls…

FireFox<3 - its ok
NetScape<3 <3 <3 - awesome, faster than all, never crashes, its just awesome, but i use both fairly equally

From: Blizzard

um actually thats built into windows, not an IE thing :p :rolleyes:

Looks like firefox wins again… there is a reason for that you know. :)

(If your face looks like this :confused: the reason is… FIREFOX IS BETTER :p)

fire fox and ie are about equal in my book

There is nothing to debate about.

The Majority of this site, and probably many others would agree. Fire Fox wins.

End of story.

Ok here we go with my reasons for why Firefox owns the shit out of Internet Explorer.

1) Internet explorer is based on windows explorer and is not very stable for cruising around the internet. People have immeadiate power to access your files and anything else they want on your computer via ie because it is VERY UNSTABLE

2) Firefox is updated weekly, has real time protection against spyware,adware and virus's. Has an inbuilt pop up blocker which stops 99.9% of pop ups. and all these features as i said before are updated weekly. Let's look at Ie for a moment. Ie gets an update what every 2 years? It has NO protection against adware, spyware, or virus's making it dependant on third party programs (Sorry sdcit but this topic was about which browser was better not which antivirus was better, without your AV you would be smashed with so much spyware if Ie didnt crash the spyware would crash you). Ie's pop up blocker sucks ass literally. I dont think I've seen it block more than three pop ups out of 100.

3) FIrefox even unconfigured through those little confusing about:config tweaks is 10 times faster than ie. In ie my max download rate is beetween 24 and 110 kb/s in mozilla i get over 500 kb/s.

4) Cpu usage wise. FIrefox is more economical. My firfox uses a little over 20,000k where as ie with the same page loaded is using 45, 536 k. (I just tested it now.)

5) FIre fox is more user friendly with an option menu which is easily read compared to Ie's scrapy one which is all over the place. It has tabs which saves you on having 20 million windows open all the time (also saves on cpu usage) and one download window which can track as many download connections as you want it to onstead of limiting you to 3. Oh and firefox actually HAS an advanced editor of about:config making it totaly customizable, so that advanced users can do even more with it. [ On a side note someone said that the next Ie update would yield tabs, this just shows that everything microsoft did'nt produce first, they copy later].

6) Firefox has a built in java generator which you can enable so that you don't have to always have that stupid JRE icon running 24/7 <3.

Thats all I can think of atm.

Oh and by the way sdcit. Norton AV really does suck ass lol. Even symatec isnt all that great. Mcaffee is the next most horrible AV but it does a better Job than norton does by around 600%. Get AVG or NOD32 they really are the best.

Fire fox loads windows for me in almost less than 1 second.

Also, I just opened IE once and it crashed. IE * 100 < FireFox.. ;D

Face it, If Microsoft even use Fire Fox over IE, there own creation. It must mean it's better.

I like firefox, just beacuse its not MS. But I also like Opera. I only use IE as a very last resort!

As a general rule I like open source projects… But I use BOTH firefox & IE

Reason I use IE:
Some sites like my city's municipal web site only runs on IE. (they have interactive maps for town planning)

Reason I use Firefox:
Bill Gates doesn't own it. I hate 'big brother' looking over my shoulder :p

What do you think is the best browser. Post the good attributes of it :)

IE RULES!:

1. Faster than Firefox

2. with a taskbar its nearly perfect

3. NOT VIRUS PRONME

4. Does not crash often

5. Userfriendly

6. Default

1. Firefox is faster.
2. Taskbar?
3. I'll let you think about that one.
4. Nor does firefox.
5. So is firefox, if not more userfriendly. It's customizable too ;)
6. Sure?

firfox is way better!! faster and dosent give u porn tool bars and dosent give porn pop ups when u go to download progs at crack sites lol

It doesn't take 33 people to prove Sdcit wrong.
Different browsers work differently on different computers.

If you have a good firewall and anti-virus system then theres nothing wrong with using IE, although personly I prefer to use firefox.

ant Mozzila and firefox thre same?

There are a billion reasons why firefox is better. And in this case, it can;t be a matter of oppinion since IT JUST IS BETTER.

So instead of listing all the reasons I believe firefox to be better, I'll post just one:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/
Owned.

IE is standard, and I don't like standard.
FireFox is made very easy to use, as we're some bunch of 6 year old kids…
Idk, I use them both eaqually, but I think Firefox is the better one.

Internet Explorer isnt a Web Browser

This is not written by me.
I am merely mirroring a document which seems to have disspeared from the internet.
It was released as Public Domain by the author.

Internet Explorer is a substandard HTML renderer programmed and bundled by Microsoft as compensation for the outrageous cost of Microsoft Windows. I will not refer to it as a &#8220;web browser&#8221;, because Internet Explorer does not actually qualify as a &#8220;web browser&#8221; according to the HTTP standard; this will be explained in more detail later.

The stated purpose of this website is to explain in an understandable form why use of Internet Explorer should be discouraged, and why it is pertinent to upgrade to any real web browser as soon as possible.
If you&#8217;re ready to ditch Internet Explorer now, skip to the bottom!
Why Internet Explorer is Harmful to You, the End User
Internet Explorer Violates Your Privacy

Internet Explorer keeps an archive of all of the websites you have visited. This archive is completely invisible and cannot be deleted by any normal means. If you thought you could get rid of it by clearing your history or deleting your cache, you are wrong. It is kept in a folder which is segregated from the main filesystem, but it is there!

To discover Internet Explorer&#8217;s secret little cache, go to Start -> &#8220;Run&#8230;&#8221; and type in &#8220;command&#8221;. A black box (terminal) will come up on your screen. Type in the box:

attrib index.dat /s
(if you don&#8217;t get any results, type in cd \ and then the attrib command)

You will get a long list of encrypted files inside hidden folders; for example, if you&#8217;re running Windows XP, you might see

C:\DOCUME~1\YourName\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\

and so on. (The rest of this walkthrough also applies to XP users.) This is a hidden folder inside your Internet Explorer History that tracks the URLs you&#8217;ve visited. Now, cut and paste that (change YourName to the actual user name that came up) to your Internet Explorer location bar, and try to open up that directory. Isn&#8217;t that interesting? It doesn&#8217;t seem to exist! Go up a directory to C:\DOCUME~1\YourName\Local Settings\History\ and you&#8217;ll see your IE History without that directory in it. Now here&#8217;s the clincher: go to C:\DOCUME~1\YourName\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\index.dat &#8212; you will be asked whether you want to open a file in this &#8220;nonexistent&#8221; directory with Notepad! Opening it won&#8217;t do much, by the way, as it is encrypted and very large.Even if you didn&#8217;t follow that walkthrough, it is urgent for you to know that Internet Explorer is keeping a backup of all of the websites you&#8217;ve visited, even if you&#8217;ve tried to get rid of them by clearing the cache, clearing the History, purchasing cleaning software, etc. I will not tell you how to delete this cache, because it&#8217;s too complicated and out of the scope of this essay. More information is located at Microsoft&#8217;s Really Hidden Files.
Internet Explorer is Dangerously Insecure

Internet Explorer is prone to many vulnerabilities which are much more frightening, allowing hackers to launch files on your system or transfer your files to their hard drive. It is proof enough that Windows XP comes with an &#8220;auto-update&#8221; program so that its users can download and fix vulnerabilities as Microsoft gets around to them. Note also that Internet Explorer goes through entire &#8220;service pack&#8221;s in order to close large numbers of security holes.

This shouldn&#8217;t make you feel more secure because &#8220;Microsoft is on the ball&#8221; or some such crud. This should make you scared, because it means that the people who wrote Internet Explorer did not have security as their main concern, or didn&#8217;t notice obvious security holes while they were programming them. To get a list of Internet Explorer&#8217;s currently unpatched security holes, visit PivX Solutions. Remember that when you browse the Web with IE, someone might use one of these major vulnerabilities to compromise your system at any time.
Internet Explorer Barrages You with Ads

Ah, yes, pop-up advertisements. The scourge of the Internet. I suppose even the people who put them on their websites hate them; they exist for the sole purpose of gaining your attention.

But guess what? If you didn&#8217;t run Internet Explorer, you wouldn&#8217;t be seeing any pop-up ads at all.

Internet Explorer excluded, all modern Internet browsers have high-tech pop-up blockers which prevent websites from shoving advertising in your face. They allow you to open useful popup windows while specifically excluding unwanted ads. And why doesn&#8217;t Microsoft do this? Well, they don&#8217;t say, but I would suppose that they simply don&#8217;t care. They own the Web browser market, so everyone uses Internet Explorer whether they like it or not. In fact, people sometimes purchase pop-up blockers for use with Internet Explorer, so that they won&#8217;t have to part with their badly written, insecure, bug-filled HTML renderer.
Why Internet Explorer is Harmful to Webmasters

Internet Explorer is bad for people using it. But it&#8217;s also bad for people who make Web pages&#8211; imagine having to program for this monster.
Why Internet Explorer is Not a Web Browser

HTTP is the protocol for the World Wide Web. It provides requirements that all Web browsers must meet; if browsers developed their own protocol instead, communication between computers would break down and the Internet would collapse into anarchy.

Internet Explorer does not follow the HTTP protocol.

When a server sends a file to you through HTTP, it identifies the file as a Web page, text file, picture file, movie, or other type of file. HTTP uses the Content-Type header to do this. The protocol for HTTP/1.1 states:

If and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the recipient MAY attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its content and/or the name extension(s) of the URI used to identify the resource.

Internet Explorer does not follow these rules; it guesses the media type of every file it receives. Even if I send it a file with &#8220;Content-Type: image/jpeg&#8221;, if Internet Explorer thinks it&#8217;s a text file, it will open it like a text file! If in the future Internet Explorer starts identifying its Content-Types incorrectly, this will cause a huge dilemma with webmasters. Because it does not follow this clear protocol, Internet Explorer cannot be technically identified as a &#8220;web browser&#8221;.
Internet Explorer Does Not Support Standards

The World Wide Web Consortium standards allow web designers to make pages that are easy to update and change because of the nature of the HTML, not having the design, but instead having a linked Cascading Stylesheet with the design infomation. This approach has many benefits for the end users by allowing different stylesheets for when the page is displayed on a page, when it is printed, or when it is viewed on a handheld device.

Internet Explorer was one of the first HTML renderers to add support for CSS, but since 2001, they have not added any new support for CSS. While their support was comparable in 2001, the other web browsers (such as Mozilla and Opera) have been adding better support with fewer bugs. With Mozilla and Opera&#8217;s support, designers will be able to code faster and easier. It will allow designers increasingly more stunning and dynamic layouts. But with Internet Explorer&#8217;s current buggy incomplete support and no updates in years, this is a a thorn in the side of webmasters.

(this section with thanks to moronicbajebus)

There are Other Options

You don&#8217;t have to use Internet Explorer to view the Web. Let&#8217;s look at some of the better Web browsers available today.

* Mozilla Firefox, based on the Mozilla code described below, is a free, fast, and standalone browser that can replace Internet Explorer easily. I recommend it the most of these alternatives. For more information, visit

Firefox Help.
* Mozilla (Netscape) from the Mozilla.org team. Mozilla is a secure and free replacement not only for Internet Explorer but also for Outlook Express and Frontpage. It&#8217;s easy to use and open source&#8211; it will always be free and never include any adware or spyware. There are actually two options for downloading Mozilla: you can download the full suite or use Firebird above if you don&#8217;t want the extra options. You can also download the Mozilla-based Netscape, a modern version of the browser which sparked the birth of the World Wide Web.
* Opera from Opera Software. This Web browser is unique because it is the only remaining Windows browser which costs money. Its time-tested features include tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, and pop-up blocking. You can try it for free, or register your copy for $30. For more information, visit the Opera Software website.

Spread the word: Internet Explorer is unfit at any speed.


Ownd!

uhm… FF owns the hell out of you :D

FireFox updated today, for me atleast. I get an update atleast once a month.

In the 3 years my mums had IE, it hasn't updated ONCE.

Firefox rules and all, but when it comes down to it i have both and i prefer IE because it can run certain active x controlls that firefox cant, when firefox can do this i will u it, but comeon, firefox doesnt evan supprot ftp :p

In the 3 years my mums had IE, it hasn't updated ONCE.

Well yes… If your not including the weekly updates on exploits :p

I swear, there is constantly windows updates with fixes to internet explorer, and withina week a new exploit is found. Terrible.

In total, since version 1 of firefox, there has only been something like 70 exploits. Which is low, comparing to the thousands of exploits in IE.

Anyways, this sums it up: http://www.flexbeta.net/main/articles.php?action=show&id=32 (Worth a read!)

SLixor, firefox has controls over activex in it's options.

FireFox -> Works on *NIX systems.
IE -> SUCKSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!@!!!!

I think he's trying to tell us something here.. Can't quite get my finger on it..

:D lol this is going off topic, we started which is best and ended up comparing IE and FireFox

FireFox is the best with Opera in a close second.

firefox is awesome!


see IE loses.

lol yeah firefox with opera as a close second..

well it depends what your doing hehe got ya ,IE is good for games a.k.a runescape and other online games but fire fox poowns for looking at mulipate*(shitty speller(even that tis still wrong lol))web pages

lol, firefox ownz for runescape :D

<3 adblock

One of the overcoming reasons for Firefox is it's extensions ;) Way better than IE's. <3

There isnt a spot to chose ie on the top or it would prolly lead

From: Sdcit
Lets get something clear: 1. Norton Rules, it has realtime protection nad gets rid of so many viruses :) Small portable, etc.

Okay

Right now Firefox seems to be in the lead…. didn't you guys ever use IE :p YOu guys are traitors !:p

<3 Fire fox! although it does crash on certian sites.. and lacks some active x control. So i use IE for certain sites.. if any of u play ijji gunz then ull know what im talkin bout.. =]

FIREFOX r0x my s0x :D Seriously though.. IE is really bad… its awesome if you dont know what happens underneath…But it keeps a log of EVERYTHING you go on. And no its not history. Its hidden in program files somewhere.. i forget where, if i find out ill post so you can see. If you have IE, get firefox, may be slower on your comp but it has no spyware :)

EDIT: Not in program files what am i on about…Its in your C: Then WINDOWS;)

IE is not a virus
viruses sometimes cause your computer to crash
….okay IE does that
viruses cause the user to think their system is too slow
….okay IE does that as well
viruses thrive on a lack of security
….okay, so does IE

however, viruses are well written, tested programs with great support
IE is not
therefore, IE is not a virus, it is a BUG


in conclusion
1: FireFox Is The Best
2: IE is a worthless group binary which would rather crash than display pages
3: GOTO 1

by the way, thanks for dragging this back up :p

Lol, I think this is pretty clear…
IE 6 votes! Firefox… 64 votes ^^ Pwned :)
FireFox <3

Whoever voted for IE should be shot.

Firefox is the best. :D

What's the difference between "Mozilla" and "Firefox" ? Mistake?

By the way, Sdcit. Norton is such a fucking hog on the computer. It really does suck. I used to have it for about 3 years. I got rid of it when I found out about Kaspersky, which is The Best firewall out there! :D

1. Faster than Firefox - OMG LOL Wrong

2. with a taskbar its nearly perfect - Wrong

3. NOT VIRUS PRONME - Wow, wrong

4. Does not crash often - …

5. Userfriendly - Firefox is more user friendly

6. Default - ?


Firefox wins.

Firefox > IE

IE totally copied FireFox with the tabs in their new version. My friend's computer downloaded the new IE automatically, then when he tried to use it it crashed every time :p and he was a fan of IE until I secretly made firefox his default browser (shh don't tell it was me)

Also, back in the day (it was a wednesday btw :-p) I used IE and then when I finally switched over to firefox (I see the light now!) my parents asked me to "fix" their internet browser as well.

Firefox owns IE!@

(oh and for the record, wordpad > word. lol.)

Seven reasons why IE sucks
1. It has the worse HTML renderer in the world (even lynx is better at passing the acid test)
2. It is only available for WinShit systems
3. It is created by Micro$h1t (VERRY IMPORTANT!!!!111!!!!1!, I use Linux at my PC)
4. It is closed source (opensource rocks!)
5. IE 7 is very ugly
6. It hasn't been updated in four years, when IE 6 came out. Now people begin to use FF, and what'll they do? They update IE!
7. Many more reasons….

FIREFOX w00t !!
I love firefox its like firefox1.0 is ie 7 lol its soo much better,
i love it ots soo organised and the layout and the custom addond areamazing

Google Chrome ftw. good for slow and fast innynet connections, even though it sucks at everything else. IE does not support all…idk..but it doesnt, and its slow. firefox takes forever to open and load. opera…never tried it.

Lol wow just noticed too. Lets let this die out…

Google Chrome

From: P1nky
Google Chrome

Grr P1nky ;) But I agree Chrome. However, IE is a lot better than what is once was. Used to take ages to load a single page back in the old days. Now its doing its things and is average or +

Mozilla and firefox were the same last i checked lol.

Firefox is amazing. IE is sluggish to me . Just my opinion.

Google Chrome comes in a close second

I always use google chrome. Never tried firefox or mozilla

I have used Firefox, IE and Chromium(it's a bit like Chrome) at different times. I was going to stick with Chromium, but then there were rumors that google collected your information with their browser, so I thought I'd rather eb safe than sorry and moved onto Opera. Never had any problems, and it works faster than Firefox.

Seriously ? Opera, Ive tried it once. It was OK. Im going to try it again.

ie9 is the best

Google Chrome. Beats everything, hands down.

Dafuq is Chrome?

Google Chrome is my favourite by far!

Firefox!
Just remember to clear your cookies, history and all that stuff once in a while so it remains fast ;)
