which is better

As far as security Firefox. The addition of extensions make it one of the best browsers out there. It is not without problems however.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opera is now free, and is also a good choice.

firefox for me and most of the staff members at more "advanced tech forums"

firefox

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can find extentions that are supirior then IE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you are more secure then IE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any flaws are fixed with the shortest ammount of time (unlike IE which waitied about 14-18 months to release a jpg vunerabilty bug fix)

Kinda off-topic, but some of you may find it interesting (and probably relate to it)..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My sister was searching the internet for some insurance quotes tonight and to her disappointment, hardly any of the scripts on the Aussie sites would work properly in FireFox. She asked me what to do and I told her to try IE ("Will it be secure?" she asked, proving that I've taught her well) and surprise surprise, they worked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2005 that's really lame.

problem is MS has never in my opinion followed the rules for new tech and waiting for it to be certified in browsers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they just add what they want to make it non standard..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and because they do this and there browser is the most dominant everyone uses there scripts and such that work on in IE

Without a doubt Firefox is better ;) Supports web standards, more secure, skinnable, many great extensions, tabbed browsing, faster, simpler, yet more customisable, open source, the list goes on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and Biox, good work with your sister ;) And yeah that sucks. Email them and/or report the sites to tech-evangalism.

only downside with firefox is the sound on rs dosent work but tabed brousing and cusimization is far better than that.also most of the music on rs isnt that good so just make sure ur not being atacked when brousing on other sites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i can also say that my entire family uses firefox now and i somehow erased ie on my computer lol

I like firefox better. It's updated much more frequently (you won't have to wait 6 months for a vulnerability fix :roll:) and best of all, it uses TABS. lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, some things don't work on ff. "This page cannot be viewed in any browser but Internet Explorer" etc. But oh well.

Nothing wrong with firefox its the fault of idiots who dont follow coding standards when making website.

That's kinda what I was getting at..

You might also want to try Opera. Another free browser that's superior to IE in many ways, and for a lot of people, better than FireFox.

Now you see here, stranger..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This here's Firefox country, and we don't like your kind 'round these parts. So hows about you pack up and move along?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Nah, Opera is ok, its safe and fast like FF).

In my opinion anything's better than IE. Firefox/Netscape/Opera/Mozilla/Safari you name it. When I use to use IE my Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus found something every week. Now using FireFox I get nothing every week, rarely something in a month. Firefox also has some nice Themes and great Extensions like NoScript and CustomizeGoogle.

Oh man, here is another Firefox - IE topic that will probably end up turning into an argument like the last topic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For me I use IE. Never had a problem with it and been using it for 7+ years. :D

I generally use FF most of the time. However, it doesn't seem to handle right-clicking on Java applets (like RS) correctly. It shows the normal right-click menu for the page in addition to the RS one, but I can't use the RS one without also triggering one of the normal options. Therefore, I use Opera for playing RS and FF for almost everything else.

Allow javascript to replace the context menu in Tools > Options > Content > Enable JavaScript > Advanced.

Tools -> Options -> Web features? Perhaps it's been renamed content for 1.5?

Indeed it has. Good catch, Cameron :)

Firefox definitely...although playing runescape with it lags...but my compy is slow anyways. The thing i like about firefox is the variety of extensions, like Remove It Permanetly and NoScript.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The thing is will IE 7 be better than FF?

FF if I had to choose one of those, but I use SBC, now with TABS! :oops:

lol! I personally prefer Firefox....never used Opera, I will have to try it

I use Firefox for 99% of my web Browsing. But to play RS I use Opera, it just seems to work a little more smoothly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also use Linux so that may be a little different. Haven't had a windows pc in over a year, even my laptop runs Linux.

IE is not that bad as long as you know how to set it up securely and have good protection apps on your pc. A good firewall is always a great idea.

Firefox is better, but you can't really play the full game with Firefox cause of no sound
