TechTV Arena: Browser Wars: Firefox Vs. Internet Explorer

[NYCity99]

I use both browsers. Truth is, I prefer IE.

From the keyboard shortcuts to

the tabbed browsing. IE +1

The ease of personalizing my links and organizing my favorites. IE +1

Viewing source if I must. A mere right click/view source. IE +1

Arranging toolbars and the icons. IE +1

I simply find it easier to use. Peace.

I'm gonna go all nerd tech-debate on you:

IE has had tabbed browsing much longer than IE, and IE loads a new page every time you open a new tab, slowing it down. Favorites: Firefox lets you bookmark a page simply by clicking a star! IE opens the source in a notepad window, whereas firefox opens it in its own browser, where the HTML syntax is highlighted. Toolbars are the same with FF.

Peace.

[NYCity99]

It's simply my opinion.

Try as you might. You won't sway me. :)

Adjust the preferences, no more new page.

Adjust the view, clickable plus sign to add to your favorites.

Etc. Etc. Etc. Yadda Yadda.......

The ONLY real advantage for using Firefox over IE, as I can tell, is that less viruses are written to attack it. But as it's popularity grows, more hackers will exploit it also.

Peace.

FF is faster. Period. Lol. You're fun to nerd-tech-debate with :P peace. and maybe more secure :P

[NYCity99]

No doubt, for now, it's certainly more secure. Faster? We just got 6Mbs download and our IE is rocking. So is Firefox.

Peace.

[Cyberbeastproduction]

You just have a rediculously fast ISP. Lucky you :P im jealous

[NYCity99]

If I were a rich man, I would sign up for their 16.0Mbps. Although at what point is it fast enough? So far, I'm happy with this speed.

Peace.

Theres some speedtest website. probably speedtest[dot]com but im not sure, its wierd though, you have to choose a speed mirror.

[NYCity99]

There's tons of speed test sites.

A google search proves that! :)

[Cyberbeastproduction]

lol speedtests reveal my slowness :)
