What Browser do you use?
|
 
Almost everyone I meet who uses the internet tells me Firefox is best.
However I've never had any problems with internet explorer and I've been using the internet for 7 years (since I just turned 13, I'm 20 now). I have had one problem with Firefox when I tried it though, I found atleast a few sites that wouldn't work with Firefox and all these sites worked with Internet Explorer. So I choose Internet Explorer because A: I'm still used to it despite its changes over the versions. and B: I have never had any problems with it. I find it weird how my experience of IE is so different to most people who have used it. Curious.
I.E is more susceptible to spyware than any other browser. It also isn't standards compliant, which means that those sites that "didn't work in Firefox" were not standards compliant. Firefox, Opera, etc are all standards compliant browsers. I.E has never been as Microsoft decides to make it's own standards for the internet.

My favorite browser is Opera but I use Firefox too.
I use Safari and IE only when I'm forced to (i.e. on school computers). My dad likes Chrome but it doesn't appeal to me @adrian: Microsoft is in fact a member of the W3C. I'm also unaware of what standards it just "made up". The reason IE is behind the other browsers (in both standards compliance and security) is actually because, after bundling IE4 with Windows 98 to shove Netscape (which was then the dominant browser) out of the market (thus making it pretty much universal) Microsoft just decided that there was no need for improvement because they were already "the best". It came back to bite them in the butt pretty hard; Firefox is pretty much a reincarnation of Netscape.
Hmm I do use spyware as often as I can but I didn't realise I.E was more vulnerable to spyware....
I guess from now on that's enough reason to use firefox; but if I encounter a site that only I.E will run which I really want to get into...I guess I'll have to switch to I.E just for that site. Well, 'you know, I've learnt something today'. 
I've been on Firefox for a few weeks now, thanks to this thread, and it's not bad. It seems faster than IE.
There are some sites like orsm.net (not suitable for work) which have embedded videos that won't run under Firefox. Apparantly the fault of the embedding code rather than missing plug-ins.
