See - the more its used the more likley it is to end up just like IE

I use FF now mainly, but only because I like the session saver plugin and tabbed browsing.

I use it because I'm hip and cool. and I want popular kids to notice me....

but mostly because all that spam shit that floods IE never shows up on firefox.. so i can look for porn with ease... err i mean so i can research for my school project...

As firefox gets as popular as IE you will get teh spam on your rawr sites as well.

I like IE7

Hamma · 2006-01-26, 01:17 PM

Yea I will prob switch back to that once its out for good, I wish it had session saver like the firefox plugin

You have used IE7? Where did you get it?

Rbstr · 2006-01-26, 03:54 PM

Leaked.

Does IE7 render PNG's correctly now?

It depends, but I'm not going to switch back, unless it offers features above and beyond firefox, there's no reason.

Ghryphen · 2006-01-26, 04:33 PM

yes it displays pngs correctly.

Is it as obtrusive as IE6 when it comes to secruity stuff(like the popup blocking and download alerts)?

Does it integrate with Windows security center, or MSN, or windows spyware scan thing, make them automaticaly turn on, or require them to run, or anythign like that?

Doesn't seem to have anything on Firefox feature-wise at all, to me it looks like almost carbon coppied from FF, especialy in the new interface.

Ghryphen · 2006-01-26, 05:46 PM

Why wouldnt it be a carbon copy? It is what people want in a browser....

I don't remember what IE6 does, ie7 has optional popup blocking, not sure what you mean by download alerts.....

Opera FTW.

Bad choice of wording, in IE, you have to have an individualy window for each download and no history or way of organizing multiple DL's. In firefox you have the downloads window, and you can cancel, restart, and look at past downloads from it.

Ghryphen · 2006-01-26, 09:16 PM

Oh, no ie7 doesn't have that, though it isn't something I would miss.

Hamma · 2006-01-27, 07:02 AM

I dont like things that keep a history of where I go and what I download

OneManArmy · 2006-01-27, 11:17 AM

thats just because you don't want jenny finding that "special" pr0n....that east african deep jungle special.....
