  • fire fox is good but ie is way better

  • Nice video, but buggar being diplomatic about whether IE sucks or not. It's sucked forever and the sooner it's dead and buried the better.

    Buggar also the features IE offers, they're more than offset by the innumerable security holes that regularly leave MS red-faced and, by the beards of the Internet Gods, the countless development hours lost because it doesn't conform to the w3 standards (Acid3 test anyone?)

    IE's got marketshare because it's installed by default. Kill it today people.

  • Meh, both the same innit.

  • whats IE ? never know there was a Iexploder. I have never use that program. I have cd of FF so there is no need to install IE.

  • been usg FF but now it keeps hangin and if i open IE7 and FF3.6 to say tvcathup IE seems alot faster.it is easy to move bkmrks arnd to folders outside the IE brwsr which i want to do bcause I have so many. and somtimes use Toolbar on the taskbar. Could u help me,I want to make IE my default again but even though I have gone to IE internet optns/prgrms/make IE default clicked y and when first opens. gone to Start/Com defaults and clicked no to default in FFox it is like there is code in FF to st

  • Firefox dont recognize my servers with its flat name on the network while IE7.x and IE8.x can fastly open my intranet pages , dont know why and i dont care much , viva IE8 !!

  • firefox is retarted ie8 and chrome are the best

  • Ian--great video! I just switched from IE8 to Firefox about 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Why did I wait so long? (I'm 41 years old and have been using the Internet since 1996/1997). I have no idea...guess I was trapped in a "Microsoft-only" mentality (stupid now, I know!).

    I also enjoyed your YouTube video for AdBlock Plus on FF (only 2 weeks using it and now I refuse to live w/o it!). Keep up the good work!

    P.S. Love your accent! Very mellifluous and sounds great on mic.

  • Did this guy really just reference wikipedia four times as an accurate source??

  • This video is bull lol. They both have ups and downs. I personally like both. Firefox doesn't show myspace layouts and stuff the way that they actually are supposed to look. My layout and some other peoples layouts don't show up right and neither does the music players but Firefox is quicker. But with IE EVERYTHING works right just a tiny bit slower.

  • Every other browser is measurably better then IE. I use opera myself, its laughable how terrible IE is.

  • I don't wanna change by browser the one I have is perfectly fine. What does it mean ''modern browser''?!!! Mine probably isn't more than 2 years old, which isn't exactly ancient

  • Internet Explorer 8 has improved significantly. Along with Google Chrome Frame, and Norton Toolbar, it' a great browser.

  • Its kind of hard to update internet explorer with BigBrother programs monitoring our calls and activities. They slow down our computers.

    Frankly with them on browsers and other funtions we dont get much of a option. So let the developers work with old tech.

  • i work for microsoft...and we have agreed that we have many improvements to make for ie8...but the crash rate is very low, and it has a decent speed. We still recommend the use of ie8

  • The Awesome Bar: name win

  • I'm not going to convince you to Firefox or any other web browser. But please, don't use Internet Explorer. Version 8 is also far behind others!

  • I'd rather use Google Chrome or IE8 with Google Chrom Frameowrk. I stopped using FF for some reason.

  • ie8 faster than firefox for me...

  • videos on youtube sometimes dont load with firefox and google makes me use their shitty browser

  • Trident (internet explorer 8) < Gecko (Firefox, Epiphany, Camino, etc), Presto (Opera) < Webkit. (Safari, Omni Web, etc.)

  • fire fox it great! but it is really slowing down... maybe the 3.6 will save firefox there running the beta right now

  • I'm happy with Firefox, since it has NoScript and Adblock Plus. I guess Internet Explorer is just for the less technical savvy.

  • Most websites look better in ie 7 and 8.

    But hey whatever makes you happy!

  • That would be because most websites ignore web standards and program in a way that favors InternetExplorer.

  • Seriously. Internet Explorer is WAY better. AND you never listed a SINGLE bad thing of Firefox.

    Mr. BIASED

  • Yes, what you said proves IE is better then Firefox........... He is biased, but have you used Firefox?

  • Yes. I have. It sucks cause you need add-ons for almost every stupid thing.

  • hey this video is biased. the guy in here is just talking about the downsides of the ie and not the good sides. you don't hear him talking abotu the bad sides of firefox..... totally biased. and if you remove this comment, that just proves that this video was biased. i want an equal fight.

  • yep, I'm biased - I rather laid that out at the start of the video. I'm a firefox fan and I'm not a fan of IE, I've lost too many years to pain with IE since 5.5.

    in fairness - the video was (pretty much) accurate for the ie8beta but when ie8final was released, MS had fixed some of the omissions. that makes this video rather dated.

    btw the only comments I delete are those that tend to use naughty words or say nasty things about other people. thick skinned, me.

  • Hey, after the 64 bit update, IE 8 is unusable, unless some one is happy with text based surfing. You tube doesn't work, as flash is not compatible with 64 bit browser and even Microsoft Silverlight doesn't work, as I have to watch netflix on other browsers. Basically, the updated IE 8 is not good for anything but text-based surfing...and it is almost impossible to go back to IE8 32bit or IE 7...I have Windows 7...and man, all the programs run so much slower with Windows 7 even with 4G ram.

  • Internet 8 sucks, internet 7 is better so how bout u compare those 2. To me firefox is my regular browsing,but i havnt figured out how to make a home page?any help there?

  • @Asulaydyingcrying

    drag the URL to the home icon

  • thx i just not used to it. and ie7 has fewer bugs then ie8. Tech places dont use ie8. I gotta say though, firefox is better than ie by a close range

  • Comment removed

  • Firefox owns alot better then IE!

  • Opera owns Firefox

  • I dont know whats wrong with your IE8, mine tells me every subpage and info on what it was about just like your firefox, think you guys just need to learn how to customize your browsers.

  • Firefox has AdBlock Plus. That's enough for me to switch.

  • @StrifeCND I TOTALLY agree!!

  • BAYYYYYYTA

  • This is a great piece of information. I've been convinced to dl Firefox on my new laptop. Thanks

  • I seamed to have acquainted with Safari 4,

  • I avoid using Internet Explorer whenever possible. I prefer Firefox because Internet Explorer was based on other browsers.

  • I used IE only to download Firefox. Afterwards I never used IE again.

  • thats funny

  • bwzamie configure Firefox Options  "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" & also set in about:config "browser.sessionstore.max_resu­med_crashes" to 0 & that's it :)

  • So Firefox Its Safer

  • ive had that problem myself

    its got to do with the computer, not firefox

  • @bwzamie I just switched to Firefox about 2 weeks ago and it has not crashed on me once...conversely, IE8 crashed on me at LEAST once a day for the past year. (FYI I'm using a Dell desktop with Intel Core2 Duo running @ 2.2 GHz and 2GB of RAM).

  • This video is so biased towards Firefox it is useless to watch.

  • I second u said "I am going to try to convince you to switch over to firefox." i stoped watching.

  • err... Microsoft?

  • i use internet explorer today but before firefox becuese of idiot lozer cheat engine crash my firefox

  • Well to see which is the best internet browser it depends on security and searching fast

  • firefox as all kind of cool stuff you can download and add to your firefox so you make firefox personally like exampel many have installed adblock that make you able to block commercials and such things

    FIREFOX FOR LIFE!!!!!!!

  • the only reason to use IE is to download firefox

  • LOL true

  • I'm doing very well with internet explorer, I actually seem to do the worse with firefox out of everything else I've used. It takes longer to open, and longer to open pages with, or without the about:config commands. Following IE8, are google chrome and opera, in my oppinion.

  • lol at using wikipedia as a reputable source. what is this, high school? (jk, actually wikis are USUALLY not that bad)

  • Awesome video I am a Firefox user it is more user friendly than IE also more secure since I have been using Firefox I have had no problems with Malware spyware ect...with including the add on "NoScript" I have been on a mission to get friends and family to switch over to Firefox for a more secure web browsing experience, but a lot of people are afraid of change also not aware of Internet Explorer's vulnerabilities!

  • firefox is much better I used to like ie much better but then i tried ff more and it shits all over ie.

  • firefox eats chickens

  • You can get a virus on any browser. However IE is more exploited. FF has more secure addons unlike IE. FF is faster than IE, easier to use and freely modded. IE8 fails, good fight Microsoft but this new 'innovative' browser just steals from other browsers. Call that innovation, more like failure.

  • IE is fine with malware if you don't go visit sites that look like porn and stuff. Secondly, IE is the fastest depending on what type of computer you use so speed is an opinion.

  • IE is the slowest browser on the market. You fail.

  • ie6 was hideous, ie7 was a nice refresh, although somewhat tricky to get used to (after firefox. after using ie7 from ie6 its a pretty small learning curve). I havent tried ie8 but im liking ie more and more as microsoft takes its cues from the other browsers (opera, firefox, etc)

  • Stumbled therefore Firefox :D

  • I tried getting a family member to switch browser.. She thought if I switched browser, you would switch the type of Internet to see. So she, and many, many others think Internet Explorer is THE INTERNET, and is therefore afraid to switch, because they cannot comprehend the idea of a browser.

  • IE isn't that bad at all.....I've used it all my life and tried all the others they were ok.......

    IE works perfectly if you have Vista.

    Google never copied off of anything. It was the first company for internet.

  • Yeah, Internet Explorer 7 is so user friendly, and easy to use. It's practically made for Windows Vista, but I think it runs a little smoother on XP.

  • You fail, rofl. Use something else, honestly if you think IE is better than Firefox you really are stupid. I do not care if you've used it all your life. Use FF for 1 hour and explore the addons capability. Hell half an hour with it on YT makes IE blow. This is one of those 'stupid' things if you use IE you either haven't used FF or you a IE fanboy.

  • Idiot, we all have our own opinions.

    I'm fine with either but since i've been using IE all my life exept for a few times quite ovbiously I would never use anything else.

  • You have no idea how IE is so vulnerable to attacks malware, Trojans, spyware, and ect...... Using 3rd party software other than Microsoft is always more secure I even use Mozilla's Thunderbird for my E-Mail needs vs Outlook Express or Vista's Windows Mail all the hackers in the world always try to corrupt Microsoft's software. Microsoft is a "marketing" company they don't give two shits about internet security or PC security it's common sense Firefox is free IE isn't you pay with Windows

  • In anywhere IE is not vulnerable If you were people who use IE would be infected. I check weekly for spyware and I have none even though I see many crazy websites somehow from this website and i've even been to a website that will hack your combuter but IE blocked it. I've even gotten to a porn website somehow idk that opened up lots spam and I was fine from malware idiot. Secondly, IE works fast and fine for most people so your computer must be mac or either a computer made 20 years ago.

  • Nope my pc wasn't made 20 years ago I have Xp Pro SP3 Running a .2.2ghz Pentium 4 Cpu 2 Gigs of Ram ATI 128MB graphics card. Plus No MAC here and A pc from 20 yrs ago won't load todays pages. I am sure I could find some type of spywear in your pc maybe you just aint looking in the right areas IE sucks you can use it if you wish to when my pc is running smoothly and you get a Rouge Anti Virus malware messing up your pc then you might consider something else.

  • ...You know what? You're stupid. 2 gig ram? lol 4 gig for me, 190 MB graphics, no wonder your computer is siuted for firefox

  • Uhhh no, don't get confused, you can get a virus through firefox, happened to me last year.

    To be save you need noscipt addon.

  • bril review really helped, but how do web producers have to make thier websites run on IE6???

  • Comment removed

  • on a side note and im not looking to piss off macfans is safari was stated to be one of the unsafest browsers in windows.

    i like using google chrome...a bit better the home screen really does it for me

  • how about the memory it takes?

  • it's been fixed also there is a neat little config feature in FF that IE don't have to tweak FF. FF is updated regularly IE isn't only once every couple years FF is updated at least every couple months.

  • Best part I didn't know before I watched this video 6:04. Thank you for creating this video.

  • You're very welcome - the Keyword Search in Firefox is super-useful, I use it for wikipedia, imdb and amazon all the time!

  • Maybe because IE8 is not finished yet.

    IE7 requires wga... which it sucks

  • Very nice video

  • I like Mozilla Firefox 3 and Opera 9 the best.

    Both sites claim to have some of the best internet speeds and security but I don't know which one is right. Internet speeds are similar for both but Opera opens quicker which is important because my computer is slow :( but it doesn't have many good add-ons.

  • firefox is much faster on my computer no matter what, i have IE and it is not really fast, of course ff is better because i can put add-ons :)

  • check the italian viral videos about explorer 8 . tag: explorer otto

  • Comment removed

  • Just to be clear - this video shows an early Beta of IE8, this video Does Not reflect the state of the final release of IE8 which has more features than the beta shown here. Just show you know.

  • both IE8 and firefox 3.0.7 rocks

  • Anyone who thinks that IE8 is better than Firefox 3, doesn't know how to use a computer properly.

  • they both are good for me mostly ie8. FF works slow on my pc

    P.s. 3.0.7 is the latest varsion for firefox

  • IE 8 beta 2 is the best, i hate mozilla firefox, the new IE is so fast, and it looks way cleaner

  • aguante firefox

  • Very good video. It taught me some handy things.

    Thanks!

  • Stop watching porn and pirating software and you won't get viruses. Firfox sucks.  IE8 is the best.

  • whaha IE8 the best, IE is just a copy of netscape. And when Netscape stopped they started copying firefox and opera.

  • Firefox is based off Netscape

  • Wrong again Firefox is a build trough of netscape, they did not copy a thing. While Microsoft is still copying from firefox, opera and now even from chrome.

    Just one giant recommedation for every one who wants to browse fast and savely Get OPERA

  • IE8 is like 4x faster and it looks a lot better which is all that i care about. Firefox is overrated.

  • :::IE8 Advantages (VISTA) over FireFox 3:::

    1) "InPrivate" safe mode, this helped you maintain your online privacy and data.

    2) IE8 uses lesser memory than Fire Fox 3

    3) IE8 especially beta 1 has newer security updates

    4)Smart Screen Filters, this checks a download for any malware or virus a Great Feature!

    5) IE8 Has a feature that allows you to check the Publisher of the file you are downloading.

    FireFox is over exaggerated!

  • yea lesser

  • Thank You for your contribution and research, I feel though you intentionally mislead or avoided certain aspects that give IE 8 advatage over Fire Fox 3.

  • jacek533 - thanks for the comment. I made this video using IE8 beta1, beta2 (just released) does indeed improve the nav bar...I guess I ought to consider making a new video.

    re. 'protected mode' - I've not read particularly good things about it, as chris832 says it isn't all it is cracked up to be.

    Personally I think that the Firefox team prioritise our safety far more than the MS team...

    Thanks both for the feedback.

    Ian.

  • IE8 (beta 2) also has the "awesome bar" like firefox.

    firefox is not as safe as IE8 under vista because it has no "Protected Mode".

  • Rubbish I work in IT department I can see who is browsing what, Protected Mode is not what it says it is, I'm also a website admin I can still see you. I still recommend Firefox at this time better health for computer, your computer will love you for it.

  • "I work in IT department "

    Yes, cleaning the floor you mean... fool your sister....sigh
