IE 8 is more powerful than firefox?

Firefox is better than IE8.... Its so powerful...

 

Yes! I agree with you totally! Firefox is more useful, safer, and faster.

 

Seriously?...people still use IE?...besides my grandma

 

Firefox DOES have a hole. I still like Firefox (and in fact use it everyday, even now when I'm typing up this reply), but it uses WAY too much memory.

The only reason some would see that is if one has low memory (in which the computer will become slow, resorting to using HD memory), or if one looks at their computer status (in Windows, the Task Manager, or in Linux, using top).

Right now, with 28 tabs in one window, 2 tabs in another, and 2 other windows with only one tab, it takes about 309 MB of memory. Not bad, actually. But sometimes, ESPECIALLY in Windows, when in webpages that use plugins, it eats 1-2GB. It's really too much!!!

(And what plugins? Unity 3D is an example.)

I'm looking forward to the Firefox 3.5 release. Hopefully it will be better.

 

IE should be forgotten by all and im saying this both as once being a user and a current webmaster.

It sometimes really annoys me when things on my sites don't appear as they should in IE.

 

Another noob who doesn't know the difference.

Unity3D is third party, as are all add-ons (noob doesn't know the difference). Talk to the Unity people. It's not a Firefox problem if you are using that much.

 

I'm still feel that FF is very good browser

 

I do have some problems with FF, and some are fatal, for instance, could not open any website after a upgrade, even when I uninstall the new version and reinstall the older version, it just happens gain, and I am really sad about this as I think FF is great.

I never have such big problems with IE, but I personally prefer FF.

I hope FF will get better.

 

The only thing that needs to get better is you and your ability to operate a computer. If you can't properly install software like FF, I can't imagine your progress into the future. Especially when Microsoft offers Windows7 without any browser at all and you have to install one.

 

firefox will always be the best

 

I was a firefox user when I have this computer im using.
Well although I like IE. But it slows for me if i use it. It was buggy too sometimes .

 

Ah, there's that "shoot the messenger" hypocrisy that shows how fragile "drhowarddrfine" knows his position to be, isn't it? Reduced to pathetic personal attacks.

And, from reading the intolerant bile flowing from his posts, it's very clear that he's covering his lack of any technical understanding by childishly shoving at anyone who DARES to disagree with him.

Let's simplify my technical position: log in as a LUA and enable any decent firewall & a mainstream antivirus - and I don't care how you configure any browser, you'll be protected from any security flaws, despite Howard's predictable claims of "wrong" and "untrue".

 

i'll say firefox is the best...... ie is nothing.........

i hv been disapointed with "send report" from ie......

 

Personal because it's true! Corwin, you can't even respond to the proper quote much less read. You can't read. Or at least you don't understand what you read. And because you can't read or understand anything, what does that say about you?

Now you are trying to claim that IE is just as good as every other browser because if you load it up with all kinds of armor, no one can get through! Well, if it's so great, why does it need more armor than any other browser? Why does everyone but you know it's the least secure browser in the world? Why do you not know what the rest of the world knows, Corwin? Is it because you're smart? I don't think so.

I also asked you some questions but you can't and won't respond to them. It's the third time I've asked you a question and you don't answer yet you come back with total beligerent nonsense. You have no proof of anything you've said. You can't back it up. You don't and you won't because you are incompetent.

You are a technical fool because you haven't a clue about how browsers work! You think because CSS improved in IE8 that it makes IE8 standards compliant yet you never were able to understand the technical review I linked you to earlier. You couldn't understand what I said about doctypes either and even blabbered nonsense about them!

You are a Windows Bozo. Totally clueless and worthless in this industry and it would be better if you just got a job at Radio Shack sweeping the back room, if they would have you. You have to know how to use a broom.

I've met a few nonsensical idiots on a few forums before and, corwin, you're in the top 5.

 

firefox is in space while IE is looking up trying to figure out how'd they got so high. IE blows`

 

I don't see it as a more powerful browser. Micrsofot can't beat firefox no matter how hard they try.
So, my vote goes to Firefox

 

You simply cannot compare a standards-compliant browser to one that isn't.

 

Explain that to corwin. He hasn't a clue. He looks at the pretty blinking lights and is bedazzled. "Yes, Microsoft. I will obey!"

 

Not worth it, really, Howard Corwin? Try the world. Microsoft has monopolized. We cannot waste our time attempting to change the multitude's taste. People say Microsoft is user-friendly. Wrong. Users are just used to Microsoft.

 

btw, my real name's not Howard and everyone calls me Doc.
