Freepers are pretty intelligent. Any of you still use IE?

I only use IE again because Firefox has been doing nothing but f'n up and crashing on me everytime I have tried to use it in the past couple of months. And yes, it is the latest version, so I don't know what the problem is.

I still hate IE though.

Nope. Firefox.

I'm using IE7 Beta and I like it so far. It's much faster than Firefox and I like the tabbed browsing.

Microsoft has an ego problem. And myopia. Yes, they should have shed the millstone around their neck a long time ago -- but ego, just won't let that happen. IMHO, MS's days of market dominance are numbered. They are slow, stodgy and arrogant. It will catch up with them at some point.

Firefox. Tried Opera, much faster, liked it a lot. Just wish it had easier extensions like FF.

I have a better idea. Everyone should give up Microsuck and migrate to Linux or MacOS X.

Nope. Safari on Mac OS X. Occasionally run Firefox on Mac OS X as well. Still stuck with IE on Windows at work though, and I hate it.

Microsoft has always been know to steal all there ideas from someone else. And that includes tabbed browesing. Mozilla/Netscape were the real pioneers of internet browsing. And they were the first to give it away for free.

I've used firefox ( primarily ) since this sorry incident:

...and I'll admit a sentimental fondness for Netscape. In fairness, MS seems to have tightened up the holes in Exploder recently, but I use it only for sites that insist on it.

I was a confirmed Netscape fan until it began crashing and bringing down Windows. I tried everything--including wiping the disk and reloading Windows and Netscape (a fresh download) and it kept crashing and bringing down the system. Trying to get support from Netscape was like asking questions of the Sphynx. So finally I gave up and installed IE. I am very happy with it and see no need for alternative browsers.
