Thy Geekdom Come Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 [quote name='Paladin D' date='Dec 14 2004, 10:43 PM'] I have both IE and Firefox, but still prefer IE over it. [/quote] I have both and I prefer Firefox. Much faster, much cleaner, the tabs rock, and the skins are pretty cool, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thicke Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) I use Firefox almost exclusively. I only use IE for two things. First there have been a few company websites where I have tried to submit my resume and it didn't work because the site had non-standard code that would only work with IE. Second, I check my websites every now and then with IE to make sure the people who haven't gotten with the program and still use it can see my sites OK.... BTW - I also use Thunderbird as my email client and RSS feed reader.... Edited December 15, 2004 by thicke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeds Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Firefox! When I used IE, I had SO many problems with spyware because IE is very insecure and most spyware designers make stuff that exploits its loopholes. Now I have no problems with it. Get SpywareBlaster by the way, especially if you use IE. It prevents the bad stuff getting onto your machine in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have no problems with it. [/quote] A) IE's security has improved since Windows Service Pack 2. B) IE has been and still is the most widely used internet browser, so majority of designers make spyware/adware specifically for IE. If Firefox was the most widely used browser compared to IE, designers would turn their focus to Firefox users instead. Though if Firefox does become the dominate browser in the future, spyware/adware will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeds Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 IE is still awful, though. Go onto any tech geek type forum, and anyone with a spyware problem is immediately told "Using IE? Stop!" Yes, that's true, but Windows computers come with IE already installed as the default browser and not many people actually look into alternatives like Firefox. So I think spyware designers will continue to target IE for the forseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
