craigevil Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. Proud member of Affliction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mementh Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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) The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!!

biox Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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.

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 The following statement is true.

Vape Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. Where the bloody hell are you?

bjbj1991 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezcake Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

Greatsilverwyrm Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

Guest andyizcool Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsback Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dacicus Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyrules89 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 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? dude i got pked and lost my full zezima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigevil Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 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. My Firefox info: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Firefox/1.0.7 (Debian package 1.0.7-1) Extensions (enabled: 17, disabled: 0) * Copy URL + 1.3.1 * Mouse Gestures 1.0 * Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.7.1 * Feedview 0.9.7 * Show Failed URL 0.1.4 * Toolbar Enhancements 0.16.2 * InfoLister 0.8.2 * FlashGot 0.5.9.91 * User Agent Switcher 0.6.6 * Sage 1.3.5 * ChromEdit 0.1.1.1 * Tweak Network 1.0 * Bookmark Backup 0.3.3 * AniDisable 1.0 * Flashblock 1.3.2 * NoScript 1.1.2.20050901 * Yahoo!
