What web browser do you use? I'm just curious, because, as most of us on this site have to be (please dont flame me for this) -gulp- geeks, I would think that you would have enough sense not to use IE, but switch to something safer, like Netscape of Firefox.

I personally cant stand IE, It's unstable, leaves you prone to immense hacking, and (not a lie) my dad won't let me use it for those reasons. I use Firefox and I love it! Please comment on this.

[EDIT] Sensible comments please

I use Firefox, and IE whenever there's something that Firefox isn't compatible with (like quicktime files).

I use Firefox unless there is something that's not compatable and requires IE. I normally don't have problems with Quicktime movies.

If you install QuickTime or QuickTime alternative, any Mozilla browser will play any files that QuickTime can.

Firefox except when I have to use IE.

Does anyone know why it is impossible to uninstall IE? Isn't it illegal or something to not be able to unistall it?

I use IE, Opera, and Firefox depending on the situation.
2005-05-08, 4:30 PM #26
I use IE, but Firefox looks far more interesting... But I can't change now, I'm on the family PC, but I'll change to Firefox when I get my own PC.

Until a better browser comes along, then you'll all switch to that and moan about how Firefox was always so terrible.

Doubtful.

I always griped about IE, but hated the bloat of mozilla. I just got a chance to change.

But whatever.

Agreed. Firefox and IE are very much similar.

Though FF has a few nice features that IE doesn't, like tabbed browsing and also better security ratings, which is why I pretty much abandoned IE.
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

I almost exclusively use Firefox on a Linux system. Which can sometimes suck, as I can't get streaming video. The mozilla-mplayer plugin doesn't always work right.
