Fire away....i like explorer.

Why do you like the code-mangling, security-risking, never-updated, sluggard that is Internet Explorer? How can you?

Code-mangling? Security-risking? Never updated? Sluggard?

For one, i dont have anything to be stolen of, except my name! And maybe a few passwords i could care less about. Code mangling? Er, lost me there. lol. Never updated, i hate updating things, takes a few seconds of my time/wait to do anyways. Sluggard? Thats why i dont use firefox, i always find it crashes and stuff....must be a personal experience?

Explorer: straight forward.

for the first time.
i am scared to even type it. i agree w.the timmy. explorer gets you viruses. unless you.re planning a collection. i suggest you switch to firefox

If you don't like Mozilla Firefox try:

Opera: A decent browser, not that familiar with it.
Netscape: Use either IE or Firefox Rendering Engine, a bit bulky.
SeaMonkey: Internet Suite, with Email, Internet, and more.
Mozilla: Very similar to SeaMonkey

Just don't risk the security issues of Internet Explorer!

lol. timmy gets all dramatic over the e-net. lol.

Andrew, you aren't helping!

Noah,
Firefox is just as straight forward as Internet Explorer, but you can skin it, to make it look how you want it to, you can install extentions to block ads, you can do so much more, and give web developers a break from mangled code.

oh yeah. i love skins. they.re so cool.

=P Skins are for noobs. Btw, yes im a virus collector...i dont notice i have any tho. =P

You said mozilla as another option for a webbrowser....last i checked firefox is mozilla? Hense the name mozilla firefox? Or am i completely wrong?

skins are for the cool. so. u. r now. a loser.
-does an lol-

Ooo, me a loser! ha, no change there. =P

Almost forgot to say, "im hearing this from a guy who wears a pink mask."

yes and what. u.ll learn to love it.

Least its not blue. =D

u kno it.

Firefox is by Mozilla, although there was a Mozilla browser.

Opera is quite good, although some sites apparently don't cater for it...although I have never had trouble with it. I'm currently using version 8.54, although version 9 is out at the moment.

I would offer some more alternative browsers, but you'd need a Mac...

Ha, a Mac...i was using my gma's computer. User friendly you say?

Pm me with details. Anyway, in the face of what has been presented, what say ye?

Pm isnt nessesary...little difficulty on how to view pictures! You have to select the pics u want to view, then press slideshow. OO, pain in the buttocks. I find going to start -->mypics and clicking on a pic is easier. Anyways....

in keeping with all good horror films .. i say .. "Don't do it Noah .. don't go in the house .. the house that MAC built"

OOO KKKK... In the face of what has been presented in this thread, what say ye Noah?

Still using explorer...works like a charm. Macs are outa the question.

You are an idiot. Honestly, Firefox is more stable, faster, more secure, and is so much more useful than Internet Explorer could ever be. http://mozilla.com/
Its right on that front page. Download it. Try it. Love it. Move on, Mr. Security-wise Stupid.

=P Tim's getting annoyed. Oh, my stubborness kicks in. I'll get firefox sooner or later, when i need faster, stabler, more secure browsers.

Just to make you happy, im going to download it right now.

*update!* This post has been written in Firefox. Oh yeah. Your right, it is slightly better. The tab thing is pretty kewl, and when a page is loading on something else it doesnt flip back to that window b4 when its done. (i found that the most annoying on explorer).

finally. we.ve converted another e-net user.

How much does firefox pay you btw?

tabs are pretty much the only reason i bothered switching. Best invention ever.

they pay you .25 dollars every month. so. it.s basically free but you get paid using it. unless i misunderstood your question.

rofl. They actually pay you to use it? I think i misunderstood your ans. Nvm

>_< my myspace isn.t listening to me - throws comp at wall-
yes they pay you. ever month. i.ve made $16.50 already.

Tabs AND Extensions .. are pretty much the only reason I switched .. I hated how IE would offset each new window by a quarter of an inch

that, and the fact that IE stopped loading the "home of the c-index"

uh your joking, right, andrew?

no. i never joke. just lie.

but myspace really isn.t listening. it isn.t accepting my html codes :(

never used myspace. =O

it.s great. but it sucks.

PARADOX! Hmm, that would make a gr8 fractal name...

lol. >_< - unames paradox - -listens to music- -types in new name-

I use Maxthon (which uses IE) and Firefox. Those of you who like Firefox and Sea Monkey - have a look at K-Ninja Samurai HERE Super fast, uses Mozilla engine, tabbed browsing.
I love it :)

It is a pretty cool browser. Opera, despite its claims lacks the speed of the mozilla core.

Gr8, i found 2 things to complain about..actually the first is a user error..but anyways.

1) Why doesnt ctrl+t work to open a new tab? I have to do the file-->new tab instead.

2) I was on the rocketry forum and everytime i want to see a picture on there, it brings up a new window, then it asks if i want to save it to disk or just open it, then I open it, then it brings up the download box, then it opens up my image viewer and i see the picture. *whew*. On the other hand, explorer you just click on the image and it pops up in its on window (1 click). Is there away around this?

you can right click and click new tab ;P
#2. idk ask the timmy person lol.

I was hopping he would be around. =P

he has a bedtime ;P

well thats to bad...i try to go to bed b4 12...

it.s already after 3 in the am for me lol >_< not sleepy yet.

why don't you middle click a link to get a new tab?

What? Right Click isn't enough anymore? Now you have to have middle click?

well .. in todays world of multi button mice .. right click typically brings up menus

I know that! Most people don't use a third button, even though a mouse with a scroll wheel often has a third button, when you click the wheel.

umm...so what about # 2?

I dont know what just happened...ctrl+t works now!

OK...........

2) I was on the rocketry forum and everytime i want to see a picture on there, it brings up a new window, then it asks if i want to save it to disk or just open it, then I open it, then it brings up the download box, then it opens up my image viewer and i see the picture. *whew*. On the other hand, explorer you just click on the image and it pops up in its on window (1 click). Is there away around this?

Is there away arond *points up* that?

Isn't there a dialog box that asks whether to save it, or run it?
Try downloading it.

Explorer: In explorer it just opens a window with the picure (total of 2 cliks and a grand total of half a second)...

Firefox: 1 window asking to open or save 1 other window of firefox thats blank 1 other window to view the picture. So then i have to click a total of 2 times to open it, and another 3 to close bringing it to a grand total of 5 clicks and 2 seconds of my time.

Is there a way to make the firefox's 5 clicks turn into 2 clicks?

I think your computer is wacko.

i think timmy.s a wack job. LOL wack job. i wonder what that is >_< hmm. -ponders-

mmm...thats nice to know.

I think it might be the website, could you give me the address?

Hahaha, it was just the settings being messed up. It works fine now. tools-->options...then you have to say, no download box, automatically open with firefox, then some other stuff.

Sry to bother, works good now. www.rocktryforum.com if you wanted to try.

*edit* the download box still appears... -.- , i thought putting the check in the box saying: do this from now on would do the trick.

I told you your computer was wacko :).

your smily face has a mole/acne/pimple on it. lol

It's called a period.

in that case its called an equal sign, parenthacy (how do u spell it!?), and a period/full stop (if your british, full stop).

What on earth are you babbling about?

Oh nvm

You guys are JOKING right? Comparing IE and Firefox, I mean come on, there is nothing to compare. Firefox wins, IE just SUCKS!

Actually from my experiences in the past...2 days?....IE is better. For "exploring" wise. Just b/c of that one little thing to view pictures.

who cares about that lol. firefox keeps comps alive!

Akashastrega, of course me and Andrew know, but Noah is still in denial ;-).

IE did not kill my computer btw! Firefox is killing me! Though the tabs are addicting. Other than the tabs and the annoying picture viewing, thats the only noticable differance.

I cannot say a single GOOD thing about using IE...
I mean when I get those crazy urges to crash my pc via trojans, spyware and all those other nasties, I get on IE...when I get a wild hair to be hacked, I use IE, when I feel some crazy urge for my pc to freeze and require numerous rebooting, I use IE...but alas, those wild days of mine are few and far between, so I use boring, stable Firefox.

umm sry...never happened to me

Just because of "Dumb luck".

15 years of dumb luck sounds pretty good to me.

woah! I wont edit it b/c that was the worst mistake ever! I said im 15! eeek, im really 16.

Same here, but considering the internet hasn't really been around in its current virus-laden form for but maybe...the last 10...

*twiddles* Opera 9 looks quite interesting....it has widgits.....

Widgits! Ooooo, i have those on my desktop actually (or i think i do). Its one of those things where anytime, (its hidden on top of all windows) u just bring ur mouse to the top and a little little apple looking toolbar pops up. Its actually kinda nice has all my shortcuts on it. I used to have the widget thing where u press f5 or f8 cant remember then another programs fades everything out and has this window of awesome looking things. I should find that again.

Try Flock...<A href = "http://flock.com/download/">Flock</A>. So far, it seems to me to be a speedy little spin-off of Firefox.
