with the current default theme we have, I think it'd look better grey-scaled....maybe that's just me...

I mean in overall browser usage dominance.

It's taking small chunks out of I.E's users monthly. =D

I considered greyscaling it but it's not a big deal since I'm not going to leave it up there forever.

Great idea in any case, and the color image doesn't look at all bad. I must say that I've been using Firefox for quite a while now and it beats IE hands down!

yeah, I figured as much, especially with the new 'theme' being coded.

used IE...found firefox...used both...IE won. Nothing against Firefox, it's a perfectly viable browser, and it's not microsoft(which is probably the main reason it's popular) but I don't see what features make it stand out and make it so much better.

I've never had a problem with IE other than it being microsoft...in the end laziness beat over the hate of microsoft i guess : \

true, but SP2 was an entire update based largely to improve IE security and usefulness-wise, so it is actually 'ok', as in not super bad on it...

not to mention it's a web browser it is not built to be a virus protection software that's what virus scanners are for, and it's not built to be an overwhelming privacy shield...that's what encryption is for...

that being said the reason i parted with firefox has more to do with compatibility with a few of the web sites a frequent.

I.E has a loophole, M$ take months to sort it & patch it...

Firefox has a loophole, next day the patch is waiting...

Kinda makes you wonder....

A web browser should stop as much malicious code or whatever as possible that is contained on a website, not allow it pretty much free access.

SP2 may be "all singing & all dancing" but it still causes many issues, I myself have not & will not install it yet till it does what it is supposed to & does not cause issues & has been run in for a while & the major FUBAR's don't show up.

After the serious security issues the other month I do not trust I.E to do what it is supposed too, that & it does not even show webpages as they should be shown. I will stick with the web browser that does exactly what it says on the tin & does it well.

Firefox also blocks popups. Believe it or not, that's one thing I didn't notice when I d/l'ed it last month, but I was at a friend's house showing him some of the websites I frequent, and was flabbergasted by these goofy little windows saying my internet wasn't fast enough, or asking me if I was satisfied with the size of my current, natural penis. Firefox, I love you so much.

like i said that's what SP2 is built to do( for both the popups and the limiting malicious code)...
as for the free reign for webbrowsers...both firefox and IE gave me a trojan that luckily my virus-scanner caught.

after saying all this I don't really 'like' microsoft and I love open source, but I just don't think firefox lives up to the great hype i hear from everyone.

Give it 3 months & service pack 2 will be getting hammered & be as usless as before you added it if you were brave enough to risk installing it.

HAW HAW!

As if people needed any more reasons to flock to the Firefox banner!

http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-5378366.html

All you people using any Windows system below XP will have to pay, yes pay for the SP2 upgrade so you can use I.E "safely".

Now that is just wasting cash.

Micro$oft never fail to amaze me on how cheeky than can be.

& in other news...

I.E may be getting ready to take a double kicking in the browser war (Which it is losing more punters by the day) cos....

Google browser anyone?
