Firefox

[soccr743]

Ok so I downloaded opera to test its flash capabilites out: (R2 Dizzy arrows same song as the first IE and Firefox test)
Opera [30-33fps]

Wow that is much slower then Firefox or IE... So completely worthless...

Tested with P4 3.0 ghz HT 800mhz FSB, 512 ram, and no other programs running at the time

Re: RE: Firefox

I have nothing against IE. I used it exclusively until I started messing around with CSS. I tried K-Meleon out, and was impressed. I learned about Firebird, and threw IE away. I'd also imagine that Macromedia (read: satan) would want their IE Flash (read: spawn of satan) plugin to be as fast as possible, considering that most people (read: bastard sheep) use IE.

olol im witty

Opera is better. It does everything Firefox does, only it looks better and the mouse gestures don't suck.

Opera's interface on FreeBSD is ugly as hell and feels clumsy. I want something that makes use of my QT/KDE widget style and properly uses antialiasing. This probably wouldn't be an issue if Opera was released as a dynamic binary, instead of statically linking to an old version of QT. Previous versions of Opera were completely unusable for me. I really couldn't care less if Opera was commercial software or not; I'll pay for software that I find to be decent. I would gladly buy a copy of Opera if they fixed this problem.

Hooray for Konqueror.

RE: Re: RE: Firefox

soccr, I'm sure that won't be the case when you release it. I got the regular FFR faster in Opera than I did in IE.

Spazz - That progress bar owns. I have a 4mb line, so loading time is essentially 0, but there are times you can see it's trying to grab an image from a server that will not load and fix it. This was the case with an FFR user's signature. It was trying to load from a server that had no bandwidth and would never go. So anyway...

--TIME TO AGREE WITH KENZYA--

Why did everybody ignore Kenzya... His post was simple and to the necessary point:

I think the main message here.. is that no one should be using Internet Explorer.

There are OBVIOUSLY better choices out there than IE. The basic thing we have to do is MOVE EVERYONE AWAY FROM IE. Get that piece of crap browser out of people's houses. DO IT. This is why LD keeps making topics and advertises.. it's so much better than IE and people need to realize it.

Stop whining about which non IE browser is better because you can't win. The differences are MINOR between what other browsers have been said.

(Edited slightly)

With windows, you can't uninstall IE. But you can block access to it! In "Program Access and Defaults", there is an option for "Browser". In IE, uncheck "Enable access to this program" and you'll never see it again.

RE: Re: RE: Firefox

I've learned today that I have issues with pronouns. Yay juniors honor classes. So I now hate that paragraph.

Seriously though, anybody who makes a point in FFR is either mocked or ignored. I've even done that before, so I'm being a little hypocrtical. Yeah..

RE: Re: RE: Firefox

Yea, I will admit, we need to get people away from IE period. Opera is ok I guess, but FF stole my heart

RE: Re: RE: Firefox

I am using IE right now and I am having no problems and it is sweet. Why move away?

When was the last time you ran Spybot on your computer?

[flypie743]

It's my laptop and it doesn't have spybot. <3 IE.

[Pennybags]

1. Last time I checked, a laptop was still a computer.
2. If you use IE, you really need to have Spybot on your computer.
3. If you ran Spybot on your laptop, there is a good chance you =/= <3 IE

[flypie743]

No...I meant by laptop-that I have it on my home computer but just got my laptop and don't have it on here and really don't care if I have it on here or not. No I will always <3 IE. And I don't want Spybot on here just because I have IE =/

[Pennybags]

I tried. Don't blame me when you're laptop becomes overrun with spyware.

[GuidoHunter]

I use IE, and I love it. I'm with Flypie and soccr on this one. I have absolutely no reason to change, as that would involve work.

Pennybags, I was curious about all this spyware business. I can't remember the last time I ran Spybot, but I know it's been over a year and a half. So anyway, I just ran it, and it didn't find a goddamn thing related to spyware. A couple of tracking cookies (whoop-dee-shit), a couple of files that the visualization company who works with the games on AIM put on there when I accidentally started them up, and a couple of WMP updates. Nothing of harm was found, and I use only IE.

IE 4 life.

Yeah, that reminds me of the computer illiterate teachers in my school. "OMG, WHERE IS THE INTERNET? FOXFIRE? WHAT'S THAT? OMG GIVE ME MICROSOFT BACK."

But hey, if you're going to be a rebel .. A'ight Jigga.

[flypie743]

Yeah...I only use firefox to browse forums on my home computer. But on my laptop IE is fine for me. =/

Refer to this topic, flypie. It was the dawn of my conversion.

This topic applies to any Die-Hard IE fanboy/girl out there.
