Cobra Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 Firefox will be dead soon enough, due to the fact that it's barely holding on to it's 5% market share. Once IE7 hits, that open source garbage will come to an end. I always browse faster with IE as well as have higher test speeds. It's not just me though. It's all 90 - 93% of us. well, i for one am gonna ride the wave for as long as possible, friend. thats what surfing the internet is all about.

MUff1N Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 In all honesty...I hope to god that Mozilla stays around for ever I absolutely "HATE" IE, and love my Mozilla Browser Suite! I'm able to do so much more with this, especially in the customizing department...IE is so limited in that respect.... One mans "Garbage" is another's Treasure... Just try (at best) to cusomize IE like this... http://client.webshots.com/photo/160758288/160758505LEwuUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philp Posted March 20, 2005 CID Share Posted March 20, 2005 In all honesty...I hope to god that Mozilla stays around for ever I do too. The competition will make both of them stronger and make the hackers have to work harder to exploit weaknesses in both systems. I personally use IE6 because I'm used to it (kinda like no one wants to change fron AOL to a real ISP after the free trial period is up ). One thing I want to know is, how much of the Windows OS is Firefox relying on? It's a relatively small download so it's hard to imagine it being a "stand alone" browser.

bumblebee Posted March 23, 2005 CID Share Posted March 23, 2005 Firefox will be dead soon enough, due to the fact that it's barely holding on to it's 5% market share.

It's all 90 - 93% of us. interesting...my experience is exactly the opposite...once you get the invasive IE completely purged from your system. Plus anything but IE is more secure, in general more easy to configure and doesn't support a company that doesn't deserve our support. Lots of droids will always preach the company line thou... IE 7 will no doubt plug some of the security vulnerabilities that have required sometimes weekly patches to be installed (some people like inflicting pain on themselves) but the "big brother" atmosphere of IE and Microsoft will no-doubt continue. bumblebee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted March 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 23, 2005 If you completely purged IE from your system, you must be extremely vulnerable right now without being able to gain full access to Windows Update. How are you getting your patches and what not? Mabey you didn't completely get rid it after all huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUff1N Posted March 23, 2005 CID Share Posted March 23, 2005 Do you work for MS or what dude? LOL Btw, you can get their "critical" update from their download center without having autoupdate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
