Phoenix Network Forums

.. thus being slower for those without the resources..

i've done some "mods" to my Firefox and usually i have like 10 tabs open and i have 7 extensions installed...when i'm using it, it takes up like 50-75MB of RAM, when it's minimized, it usually takes up around 3MB of RAM

Could you send me the mods please? send them to [email protected] :D i really want to see them work.

Firefox definitely ...

Fast, free (MPL), multiplatform and above all advanced support of W3C standards ..

i use firefox because it is open source and i can use it even on windows and there is a lot of extensions for FF

Only FireFox because is stafe, secure and have very functional plugins

Mozila firefox is the best one. I can do everything with mozila There is good addons for firefox.

I like Opera the best since it seems to have a smaller footprint than Firefox. I have my gripes with IE, but with a good firewall and antivirus software, I feel safe to use IE. Even in some instances IE has a smaller footprint than Firefox, especially if you have alot of extensions running!

Does anyone here at phoenix network log the user agent strings of the users? It would be interesting to see some usage stats.

On Slashdot, the useage of IE has gotten so low they're not even all that concerned on supporting the browser.

Whouldn't surpise me bro, IE has become a well know security risk for many
online users, but rest asured there is still allot of non-tech savvy people who
use IE.

I use Firefox for many months now, and I back it without even a blink!
It's more stable, customizable, more secure.

I would definetly have to say firefox. You can customize soo much. It has an excelent database of plugins, themes, extensions and the sorts. You can find almost any type of neat extensions for it. It's really an awsome browser and it should def replace IE.

Main problem is there are allot of sites online that only support IE
and there are some that refuse to accept IE is no longer the superior/main
online browser.

IE works fine for me, never had a reason to change. I have tried firefox but it had no extra features that I wanted and it seemed a little slower for me than IE. IE does have the advantage that some parts of it are loaded at boot time as they are part of the OS.

Both have security issues so the usual IE bashing stuff abut security dosn't wash with me
