What is your favorite browser Internet Explorer or Firefox (or other) and why? I trying to figure which one is best. Thanks

Posted by: ScottoGato Jun 17 2008, 06:07 PM

IE is the absolutely the worst browser out there. Firefox, Opera, and Safari have surpassed IE as loading faster.

In my opinion, Firefox 3 (just released today) is my favorite, by far. The add-ons for Firefox are legendary.

Use anything but IE.

Edit: Oh yeah, and FireFTP is finally able to work with Firefox 3, which now makes Firefox 2 obsolete for me.

Posted by: ati Jun 18 2008, 10:00 PM

Firefox, for sure.

Posted by: Bellame Jun 20 2008, 04:37 AM

Opera!!!! I use Opera!
IE - is has low defense against viruses
FireFox - Slow!

Posted by: ScottoGato Jun 20 2008, 07:04 PM

I think you're basing your opinion of Firefox from Firefox 2. Firefox 3 is much improved and much faster than Firefox 2.

Posted by: stevs Jun 21 2008, 04:54 AM

For me is firefox, i think is more reliable then IE...

Posted by: MoneySlack Jun 28 2008, 07:35 AM

Firefox.

Posted by: realist Jun 29 2008, 02:26 PM

I actually think Firefox is faster than IE most of the time, I much prefer it.

I haven`t yet downloaded FF3, but I will be doing pretty soon. I just thought I`d wait a while until some of the early bugs are cleared up.

Posted by: makemoremoney Jun 30 2008, 07:07 AM

Firefox is better, having more add ons and better useability than internet explorer.

Firefox!Only last stable relize.
Firefox:
1.Best secure.
2. More addon.
3. Fast work.

Posted by: qaswer Jul 3 2008, 01:50 AM

Do we have something faster than FF? Opera sucks due to it hard to install plug-ins and extensions.

Posted by: steweroad Jul 21 2008, 01:55 AM

FireFox is more secured then IE against the viruses! I am talking about FX 3! So My choice is ForeFox 3

Posted by: powersellersmagazine Jul 21 2008, 02:54 AM

FireFox 3 with all the SEO plugins -

Thanks everyone for your input. I chose Firefox and it is a whole lot better than Internet Explorer that's for sure

Posted by: escalade Jul 30 2008, 03:44 PM

I like Firefox. It's the best! More user friendly and it's faster than IE.

Firefox (except for plugin) RULES!!

Posted by: Hula Jul 30 2008, 06:30 PM

Posted by: Skyree Jul 30 2008, 07:00 PM

FireFox, despite the fact that they did us dirty by changing the way the browser accesses servers in FF3 which broke some functionality about a month ago.

Posted by: creative1 Jul 30 2008, 09:12 PM

I prefer firefox by a wide margin.

Posted by: maxfactor Aug 3 2008, 04:19 PM

To tell the truth IE does too many checks and balances like I am a baby... Firefox lets me do what I want... simple...

Posted by: MrPirate Aug 28 2008, 10:26 AM

Firefox for sure haven't used IE in like forever.

Posted by: buildwealthmmg Aug 31 2008, 02:04 PM

Without doubt, Firefox. If I need IE, I run the IEtab addon for Firefox.

always firefox more faster

Posted by: stimmyvz Sep 29 2008, 10:29 AM

I like firefox more, bacause its more stable, but the problem is that sometimes its hard to see some pages, so that why i still have IE on my other computer that will keep me see everything

Posted by: AllFree Sep 30 2008, 05:01 PM

Using both browsers is better.
One without any cookies or cache for sensitive usage. and the other with all cookies for faster regular use.
In general, FF is said to be safe and secure, and IE is said to be better (faster) for inter server communications. It would depend on the various settings and protocols etc also.

Posted by: AMKRIOY Oct 9 2008, 08:06 PM

Firefox, hands down.

Posted by: aether Oct 11 2008, 10:50 PM

Internet Explorer is more compatible with the things only, but I only use firefox since it is really user friendly(for me anyways)

Posted by: kitos Oct 20 2008, 01:09 PM

i think opera is great browser

Posted by: Little Master Oct 20 2008, 08:57 PM

Firefox is the most secure..thumbs up

Posted by: Jon2887 Oct 21 2008, 11:43 PM

Firefox and its plugins make it a much better browser than IE. Much more stable as well.

I like ff better tha ie, because ff is very fast.

Firefox is what I use. I was told it had better security features, especially when dealing with payment processors.

Posted by: sjames23 Dec 8 2008, 07:19 AM

Firefox is my preference. Seems to move a lot quicker than IE

Posted by: JoshuaM Dec 15 2008, 05:01 PM

Me, I am into Firefox. I find Firefox load faster than IE. And it starts up when I double-click the icon faster too.

I find it lighter than IE. Then again, that's just my opinion!


God bless!

Neither after Russian hackers when calls provide a page with FF malware plugins creep and steal passwords....!!

I prefer and use Firefox. IE is slow. Besides, FF has better protection.

I'm used to IE but Firefox is okay but too bad it's not compatible with CallingID.

Posted by: dinos1 Dec 22 2008, 09:38 PM

I would go for FF or Chrome too.

Posted by: wangjinhk Dec 28 2008, 05:22 AM

Firefox,seems it is safer than IE.

Fire Fox is the best one I have experienced.

Posted by: JMOnline Jan 3 2009, 09:49 AM

From a security stand point IE is at the bottom of the list.
I work in the IT field and have experience with both IE and Firefox from working with my clients.
I have notice those that use IE tend to have more issues with Spyware, Adware, Malware, ect. than those who use Firefox.
Another thing that you may notice and Microsoft is notorious for is they take someone's good idea and make it their own. IE does this with all the other browsers, for example Firefox had tabbed browsing long before IE7. Microsoft saw this and how everyone loved it then they implemented it in IE7.
As for me I have to use both due to the nature of my job, but for my personal use I prefer Firefox.

Posted by: wangjinhk Jan 13 2009, 01:27 AM

My favorite is Firefox,it has a lot of add-on tools to use,that's why I like it.

Posted by: StartYourServer Jan 13 2009, 06:40 PM

I would never choose Internet Explorer over FireFox!

Posted by: grangonzo Feb 18 2009, 01:28 AM

Forever FireFox!

Is the best by far....

Posted by: teddyrocket Feb 18 2009, 03:05 AM

Firefox 100%

But what is this Google Chrome like...?
Any reviews...?

Posted by: livethewayyouwant Feb 23 2009, 11:06 AM

Firefox for sure. Way better then Internet Explore

Posted by: PenguinXVI Feb 23 2009, 12:11 PM

Firefox!!!

Am already sick and tired with IE.

Posted by: ThePlan Feb 23 2009, 02:56 PM

Chrome for me! Love its simplicity and layout. However, its still a little buggy as some sites don't load quite right and I have to go back to FF.

Posted by: 2legit Feb 23 2009, 03:15 PM

Firefox 3 for as it is much faster and safer!

Posted by: zoltrix Feb 27 2009, 10:25 AM

I only use IE if the app or website (microsoft update) demands it.

Other than that i stick to firefox.
If firefox gets to popular i will probly switch to something else...less chance of it getting hacked.

Posted by: eppic Mar 2 2009, 12:35 PM

Why are we even discussing this??
FIREFOX!!

Posted by: vadafac09 Mar 6 2009, 03:56 AM

Firefox because IE is "stupid"

Posted by: tekkiegurl Mar 9 2009, 01:44 AM

i like fire fox than IE. it has given me no headache since i used it unlike with IE

Posted by: eXtreme Mar 10 2009, 05:51 AM

Firefox anytime of the day! I like the interface and the security it provides.. Also add-ons are great thing!

I used to be a fan of Opera few years, but I like Firefox now more than ever!

Posted by: PSiudek Mar 15 2009, 04:36 PM

I used to use Internet Explorer, but after Firefox I don't see how it is even possible to http://make-money-online.profitcruiser.com/ with the microsoft alternative.

I like firefox , but it crash down very fast when i have multiple tabs. I am antiIE, i don't like it at all , not for browsing not for designing

Posted by: MadgeClark Apr 3 2009, 02:28 PM

I find safari, Chrome & Firefox the best browsers in terms of speed. But this also depends on what is your computer's RAM and processor specifications.

Posted by: pallmall Apr 5 2009, 04:55 PM

I'm a IE user have tried firerfox but did not get on with it.. Will try opera because IE gets on my nerves

Posted by: Piper30 Apr 7 2009, 07:04 PM

Looks like Firefox turned out to be a threat over internet explorer in the web browser battle. Firefox really loads sites more quickly and have a cleaner interface, but we still need to make sure that our sites work properly in IE, Firefox and other browsers as well.

Posted by: oberon Apr 13 2009, 03:04 PM

FireFox it is Just love that Fox

Posted by: originalmadcow Apr 16 2009, 10:41 AM

I think firefox has more useful features

Posted by: Atreidex Apr 16 2009, 02:39 PM

It's a simple option: FireFox (or Google Chrome, if available )

Internet Explorer simply sucks. Designers blame it, coders blame it, people blame it. It's one of the poorest browsers ever made. As simple as that.

Posted by: w84dem2go Apr 16 2009, 05:23 PM

FF has a lot more options than IE. I love it that if you close FF with tabs open, it asks you if you want to save them for the next session - that's aweome. Also one tab can crash but leave the other s alone - that s cool.

Posted by: adz1989 May 1 2009, 06:42 AM

I much prefer FireFox over IE. I find FF loads alot quicker on my computer and when I open tabs on internet explorer it uses more PF usage and often crashes/freezes

Posted by: firewolf08 May 3 2009, 03:52 PM

Definitely Firefox...no comparison!

Posted by: gold8 May 3 2009, 08:42 PM

IE firefox very slow

I use maxthon and firefox

I like maxthon because it fast

Posted by: Mamiya May 8 2009, 03:32 PM

Firefox, for sure.

Posted by: vanisk May 17 2009, 11:53 AM

I like Mozilla FireFox, IE has many errors and its too slow it loading pages. But FireFox is as easy to use and its very fast. And also has more addons which can be easily added. Nice Browser. But while using on mobile Opera is the best browser for mobile, but not for PC.

Posted by: JsKnight May 17 2009, 12:38 PM

I use Firefox for years and I really satisfied by this browser and its optionals
Simple the best browser.

Posted by: Randy909 Jun 8 2009, 06:54 AM

Firefox is more easier and better

Posted by: dittoteam Jun 11 2009, 09:38 PM

I think FireFox is faster and I have fewer glitches with it. I hate when a site says something can only be viewed with IE.

Posted by: Bluebee Jun 13 2009, 10:45 AM

Firefox is fast and secure and much better in operation than IE

Posted by: marykingse Jun 29 2009, 04:26 AM

Posted by: 5220xpress Jun 29 2009, 04:51 PM

firefox is best,because of high speed,more stability,security and many features.

Posted by: eric83miller Jul 1 2009, 12:32 PM

Firefox is much better than IE. Faster, more secured, more addons to personalize my web browser.

But if i have to choose the best out of all browsers, I would say Opera 10. King!

Posted by: Runnerek Jul 6 2009, 10:29 AM

IE is sometimes very slow so I prefer to use FF

For me it is the best at the moment.

Posted by: -wataru- Jul 8 2009, 03:02 AM

I prefer to use firefox because of its security and its features but I do sometimes use IE for some important sites

Posted by: Scottiepatton Jul 19 2009, 11:15 PM

Firefox 3 has lot of features which opera and internet explorer lacks in and also its third party browser which has its own benefits but if one is really intelligent he may never face a problem regarding downloads and surfing.
with some of really best addons for smart browsing:

Posted by: InvestigatorPat Jul 29 2009, 05:28 PM

Firefox's wide array of plugins are what make it most appealing...anything you could imagine beign added to the program is probably avalilable as a plug-in. for instance, on my new full-HD monitor most websites only take up less than half the width of the screen, so i wondered if there was a split screen plug-in for Firefox. Sure enough within a few minutes i had it running. Adblock plus is my favorite, loads sites much faster and gets all the crap out of the way.

Posted by: p911ruf Jul 29 2009, 06:38 PM

Firefox is definately the way to go for the speed and also security. Infact I think firefox the browser is more appealing then IE

Posted by: al2fenrir Jul 29 2009, 08:24 PM

I prefer Firefox. It's more secured compared to IE.

Posted by: PolarisOutlaw Aug 13 2009, 01:43 AM

I use Firefox, I think it's more faster and better than IE.

Posted by: Ascente36 Aug 13 2009, 08:39 PM

FireFox, there's a reason firefox has captured more of the browser market than IE despite the fact that it's freakin bundled with windows!!!

Posted by: mrpaisa Aug 13 2009, 09:50 PM

I think Firefox is faster than IE most of the time. So, I much prefer it.
Firefox is better, having more add ons and better useability than internet explorer

Posted by: haek Sep 5 2009, 01:58 AM

I use Firefox and Opera, they are great.

Posted by: Stock999 Sep 6 2009, 01:00 AM

I vote for Firefox.
It's settings are much easier and much clearer even for not-professionals in programming.
It is safer because any not allowed content may be blocked easily.

I suggest to use also NoScript addon .

Internet Explorer of course. No installation, no download. Ready on Windows

Posted by: topnotcher Oct 17 2009, 10:25 PM

Firefox any day anytime , IE is useful only if we run patches on windows daily and keeps updating.

Posted by: Smoky89 Oct 18 2009, 12:17 AM

My favorite is fierfox. i got used to it a long time ago... explorer seems so old....

Posted by: makemuchmoney Oct 20 2009, 10:54 AM

....simply....firefox! with so much usefull application!

Posted by: shawon Oct 21 2009, 11:57 AM

Obviously FIREFOX... speed, connectivity, security everything is superb and far better than IE

purely firefox!

i forgot to use i.e. after get used to use firefox.

firefox is burning hot

i.e. is frozen ice.

Posted by: blackbeauty Oct 24 2009, 05:40 PM

FIREFOX 4 SURE.

Posted by: escaflown Oct 24 2009, 06:20 PM

I choose FF because it have many addons and itu safe enough to surf the web rather than IE...

Posted by: Drticzka Oct 25 2009, 06:16 AM

I use Firefox, because IE is a mark of insecurity for me

Posted by: longfellaz Oct 25 2009, 06:18 AM

I've used FF for years with no problem.

Now it seems to freeze up and not respond quite often.



Anyone else having this problem?

Posted by: Warpticon Oct 25 2009, 07:40 PM

Just a note...IE is a pretty poor browser in my opinion, but Firefox isn't the only alternative. I've been using Opera since '98, and it keeps getting better and better. It's my primary browser. I also use Firefox, Google Chrome, and even Safari on occasion, all of which are very solid browsers.

Posted by: Ocufeon Oct 30 2009, 01:56 PM

Firefox and Safari are the best imo; IE sucks

Posted by: CountingCash Oct 31 2009, 05:47 PM

but I just heard that certain toolbars only work with fireFox

anybody else ever hear that??

Posted by: JaysSavingYourMone Nov 2 2009, 03:33 PM

I actually use them all. Certain websites make me have to use them. Netflix online movie viewer (showtime channel) will not play in anything other then Internet Explorer.

I like Opera browser because it runs low on the memory and is a very powerful browser. Firefox is the god of all browsers in my personal opinion, however Google Chrome has just been released. As with anything that Google touches it will be more complex while being as simple as can be.

Google Chrome hogs your memory though. At least on my computer.

To answer your question, I would personally chose Firefox. You can not really go wrong with this browser. I hope this helps.

Firefox!!!

Posted by: bogdanel Nov 5 2009, 11:31 PM

I'm using Firefox since version 2.0, and I never had any problem with this browser. But my job forces me to have all main browsers installed

Posted by: kovalsky Nov 6 2009, 11:00 AM

Firefox is more suitable for me. It has so much valuable plugins.

I use IE only for compatibility checking

Posted by: Outrun3 Nov 7 2009, 11:39 PM

agreed 100%. Firefox absolutely walks all over the rest of the browsers.

Posted by: fong528 Nov 8 2009, 07:55 PM

I use Firefox and sometimes IE 7. But I heard that Google Chrome is pretty good.

Posted by: livethewayyouwant Nov 30 2009, 11:24 PM

I like Firefox I think it is the best browser out there! Explorer is horrible they use to be on top.. But wow how times have changed!

Posted by: Reilly22 Dec 2 2009, 12:18 PM

Yes, FF for me - but only really because it's on my computer and I'm in the habit of clicking on it. But I've probably developed the habit partly through hearing that it's better than IE!

Posted by: thebeachworks Dec 2 2009, 12:31 PM

For me IE has become completely useless. Recently I joined a site that only works with IE8. I do not have this version so I went to the Microsoft update to download it only to discover there is no IE8 update for win2000. Way to go Microsoft!!!

BTW, Firefox is a much superior browser anyway.

Posted by: nassy112 Dec 9 2009, 11:36 AM

I suggest firefox more fast

Firefox is a lot better than IE. Once you start using firefox, you won't be able to go back to IE

Obviously firefox. sometimes loading speed of IE makes me cry..

Posted by: probafix Mar 8 2010, 02:55 AM

Firefox is really best...its speed and downloading...

My favorite browser Is Firefox ,it is faster to open.

Firefox and the add ons are essential for security. No script and the Liberty reserve add on are key for transactions with PPs.

Posted by: Nathan2525 Apr 27 2010, 03:52 AM

Firefox all the way
There is so much more you can do
and all the plug-ins are awesome. I personally use SEO quake
A tool I couldn't do without in my business

Posted by: Shalbaal Apr 29 2010, 07:20 AM

Firefox hands-down. The Liberty Guard application alone for security makes it my #1 choice.

Posted by: earlyriser Apr 30 2010, 02:26 AM

I don't use windows anymore (unless I am forced to), but I wouldn't use IE if you paid me. Far too many vulnerabilities for me. I use safari or firefox on my mac and I use Opera 10 on Linux. Opera 10 is fantastci. You can download your torrents in your browser, use it as an email client in your browser and it is quick.

Posted by: strokem May 6 2010, 01:39 AM

Firefox better!
IE is quite slow.

Posted by: SuperMoneyGuru May 15 2010, 09:08 AM

DEFINITELY firefox. It has more capabilities, it runs smoother, it has many useful add-ons, etc.

Internet Explore is terrible in my opinion.

Posted by: JasonJJ May 18 2010, 05:50 AM

explorer is the past...

Posted by: dpacmittal Jun 19 2010, 09:58 PM

Wow! This topic is so lame. How can one even compare FF with IE. IE sucks as bad as any browser could... it deviates from standards, we have to code specially to make a site look normal in IE. IE just sucks.

This topic would've been more meaningful if it was Chrome vs firefox or safari vs. firefox.

Personally, I hate IE. Firefox all the way!

Posted by: VirtualAssist Jun 22 2010, 12:48 AM

while it looked as if Mozilla's Firefox browser was destined to become a huge threat to Internet Explorer in the web browser wars. Firefox has continued to slowly but steadily eat away at IE's market share, and for good reason. In many ways it was just a better overall browser than IE 5 or 6. Enter Internet Explorer 7. With many of the same features that helped spark Firefox's popularity as well as its intimate coupling with the Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft's newest browser offering has raised doubts as to whether Mozilla's market share can continue to grow at its current rate.

Both of these browsers have their own respective appeal and deciding which one may be right for you can prove to be a daunting task. This article attempts to make things a little easier for you when decision time arrives.

IE is out of competition anyway. The real choice is between Firefox & Chrome. For internet marketers, firefox is the best because of various adons like Rank checker, SEO toolbox, video-download etc.

Posted by: mellymell Jun 22 2010, 12:58 PM

I have to agree with you. Internet Explorer is out of the competition. I haven't tried Chrome, and have no real intention to. Firefox works for me, so I'm cool with it. One disappointing thing, though, is that when Firefox 3 was released, I started getting crashes, which I NEVER got with previous versions. Granted, it still fairly stable, especially compared to what IE used to do; but still, it's not the same Firefox that it used to be.

Still, IE's reputation is so badly damaged, I don't think that even with their newer features, they still stand a chance with anyone but the everyday surfer. Anyone who understand the Internet, or makes their money online has all but given it up.

Firefox is more reliable than Internet Explorer and definitely faster but I personally prefer using Chrome.

Posted by: Eric80 Jun 28 2010, 04:37 AM

i never liked Explorer and when i got told about Firefox i thanked the heavens.
i just love the addons you can add and have McAfee Site Advisor as something to keep an eye on the dodgy websites

Posted by: Eric80 Jun 30 2010, 12:49 AM

try Firefox and Google Chrome
should use IE if for some reason you cant use the two above

Posted by: kentbax Jun 30 2010, 02:19 AM

why internet explorer?

Posted by: trevormharris Jun 30 2010, 12:20 PM

I hate internet explorer that this is dead to me LOL, it crashes way too much.

I like Firefox much better because it doesn't crash as much and the add ons are much easier to handle.

But I've been using Google Chrome the past few months, because of how fast it is. It's really quite amazing.

To understand how non-standards compliant IE is, just use the acid test.

http://acid3.acidtests.org/

IE = 20/100 (you will see failures, but allow the test to finish)
Firefox = 94/100
Opera = 100/100
Chrome = 100/100

Opera and Chrome are the most standards' compliant of the four above. I use Firefox because the plug-ins I use with Firefox are not available for the others, yet.

Microsoft thought that the industry would follow them into their non-standards' compliant, proprietary technology; as always, when it comes to the Internet, they had and have it wrong.

for me
without a question Firefox
Firefox role

Posted by: hyipnews Aug 12 2010, 06:33 AM

Firefox is ahead of any other browsers both in matters of security and matters of convenience. So my choice is clear.

Posted by: scott Aug 20 2010, 08:03 AM

Firefox is my all time favourite browser than the IE.

Posted by: jhh4412 Aug 26 2010, 07:55 AM

My choice is firefox and I had more comfort.

Posted by: cpplus Mar 20 2011, 11:55 PM

Mozilla Firefox is the best one.

Posted by: PollYCastelanno Mar 24 2011, 08:07 AM

Firerfox is the best !! i am using it more than 3 years + its safe and hasmany updates!

Posted by: JohnBe Apr 7 2011, 09:11 AM

I've been using Chrome for quite some time now. It is lightweight and very fast. I don't like FF for the simple reason it is a resource hog, but admittedly it is way better than IE...but for now, it will still be Chrome.

Posted by: sanjug May 4 2011, 06:34 AM

I am using Firefox and it has lots of ad ons and more reliable than I.E. I am using it from last 5 years

Posted by: Tom100 Aug 29 2011, 02:07 AM

Only use Firefox and Chrome.

Posted by: brosenak2 Oct 2 2011, 10:55 PM

I use the same, but I also use Opera sometimes. Google Chrome took over for a while for me, but I started using FF primarily again recently. I thought FF really took some influence from Opera with the new interface and set-up with the tabs and how the bookmarks and such work now.

Chrome is awesome for app's and interactivity with the internet.

Posted by: brokenblade Feb 27 2012, 10:10 AM

I gave up on Internet Explorer a long time ago. If it came down to that or Firefox, I would use Firefox.

Posted by: getbizzy Mar 2 2012, 06:49 AM

I believe Firefox is better than Internet Explorer, my reason IE is always hanging when you open various tabs (IE 7) which i just downloaded

Posted by: NameNick Mar 14 2012, 11:14 AM

I use firefox because it has no errors while surfing, like IE. And firefox has plugins(they are useful sometimes)

Posted by: rokyee Mar 14 2012, 01:53 PM

I Love FireFox :D
But i also use Chrome and sometimes IE (because some sites don't like other browsers)

Posted by: NameNick Mar 15 2012, 06:36 AM

There are people who do not understand all details about browsers and go to the Internet just for few minutes. They use only IE and they are more then 10%.
By the way, Firefox has integrated antivirus system. When you download something, you can see check for viruses.

Posted by: drossano Mar 21 2012, 02:08 PM

firefox or chrome, no question

Posted by: shinelight Mar 26 2012, 09:06 PM

Firefox brings no errors and browsing is smooth. Though the best is google chrome.

Posted by: Ninilgr Mar 29 2012, 05:14 PM

No questions here, Firefox for sure, or Chrome. But IE is the past, each year is used less, and is for some reason.

Posted by: philt Jun 24 2012, 02:47 AM

I use both Firefox and Internet Explorer, as they both have advantages and diadvantages, depending on what i need at the time. now and again i use Safari.

Take care

Easy to answer just Firefox, and nth to add more..

Posted by: ethun Oct 2 2012, 06:25 PM

Internet Explorer is the most boring browser I have ever experienced. It is ridiculously slow. I rather like firefox and google chrome. But, I like chrome most for it's interesting features.

Posted by: CashBloggerGirl Oct 16 2012, 08:39 AM

I'm definitely a Firefox girl. :D For me it runs more smoother and faster, plus I love the addon features. Internet Explorer on the other hand is a little slower, especially if I open more than one tab. I only use it if it's REALLY necessary, which isn't often

Posted by: printingray Oct 18 2012, 12:34 PM

Firefox is much better than IE in every aspect and I more rely on it while working and so on.

Posted by: Rhyker Oct 23 2012, 08:19 AM

IE blows ... lacking an extension/plugin based system.

Posted by: dimdim23 Oct 24 2012, 07:09 PM

In windows 8, IE has better performance, but Firefox is still best web browser in many polling :D

Posted by: Jerome15 Oct 25 2012, 06:56 PM

i prefer firefox than IE, used to be a firefox user but shifted to chrome

Posted by: DollarSignDaily Oct 26 2012, 10:01 AM

You're right. I'm also Firefox' fan

Posted by: cheito Jan 8 2013, 04:24 AM

Google Chrome is what I use I love it! Its so fast

Posted by: Centralius Jan 9 2013, 11:34 AM

I have preferred Firefox for day-to-day use up to now even though I tend to get more Adobe Flash plugin crashes. Now that I'm using Windows 8, I think I may go back to IE at least some of the time. It's fast and has built-in Flash support.

Posted by: cloudsiah Jan 11 2013, 01:36 AM

I would prefer to Chrome and Firefox than Internet Explorer after using 3 of them for many years.

Security - Internet Explorer has been well-known to be prone to hackers and security problems, especially in cookies issue. Hackers have always been happy to develop softwares to hack on IE or Windows all the while. Firefox and Chrome are much secure.

Speed - Firefox is fast in speed. Chrome has the similar features too, but is much faster. Especially in loading Images, Chrome is the best choice.

Memory - As compare to memory usage, Firefox use up a lot more memory when a lot of tabs are opened, needless to say on video website. So if you are using an old PC, this can be a problem for you and can slow down your PC entirely and can even freeze your PC. Chrome and IE in contrast, has a better memory management.

Add-ons- IE is a proprietary product, which means very little community are creating add-on or extension to expand IE functions. Everything has to depend on Microsoft development skills. Firefox and Chrome has very large community to build the core software and add-ons for entertainment and explorer functions to reduce work loads of users.

Plugins - From experience, many plugins sometimes don't work in Chrome, like Java plugins. However, it is not guaranteed that it won't work, so you still have to test it out if you like Chrome. I have not yet encounter Flash plugins crash in Firefox yet, but is always better to test it out. Because all our settings and software installed in Operating System is different, sometimes it can be conflict to the plugins without knowing.

Community - Firefox has been a very big community, but Chrome should be bigger, because it is backed by Google's Linux Community. If you are running your Operating System in Linux, Chrome or name as Chromium in the open community, will be much more secure to use.

There are pro and cons on all explorers. Ultimately, you have to decide which gives you a better feel at the end of the day, so that you can surf net in a comfortable zone. It also depends on what you really need, security, speed or add-ons? So if you are want a more stable solutions, you should have these 3 explorer installed, and use 1 as default for daily use. When your default is not function properly, then your can use the other one as backup plan.

Hope this can be a guidelines for your decision.

Posted by: wispbusiness Jan 16 2013, 01:39 AM

Definitely Firefox is the more reliable and stable of the two browses. I tend to avoid IE like the plauge. It's pretty much the worst browser ever invented.

Posted by: gata Mar 2 2013, 02:01 PM

IE is the worst browser on market. no doubts.

Posted by: golduser02 Mar 3 2013, 10:03 AM

Internet Explorer was a the leader at one time but now it has gone down real bad.. It keeps hanging and its security is bad. It really cannot keep its hold on users any more. Fire Fox is user friendly and better in features and add-ons. Its security is also pretty good. Among the two FF wins. But Chrome wins in the race of browsers any day. Better features, Better stability, Better everything. !!

Posted by: bob seavey Mar 22 2013, 03:31 PM

Neither! I had issues with slow connectivity, viruses and my Java and shockwave not responding properly. I now will only use Google Chrome and haven't had an issue at all.

Posted by: shane1234 Mar 22 2013, 04:15 PM

It has to be firefox. IE is terrible in my opinion.

Posted by: Bradford Moultrie Mar 28 2013, 03:35 AM

Fire Fox is built for marketing, having addons like Imacros which allows you to automate your marketing strategies and makes it easier to complete long tasks. so, yeah, Fire Fox way better than IE.

Posted by: Ie76 Mar 30 2013, 05:31 AM

As we say, IE serves to download but i prefer OPERA ( for passwords ) it's more secure

Posted by: Kensei Apr 5 2013, 05:55 AM

Comodo Dragon. It's based on the chrome source code, and is modified by the company that has the best Firewall on the web. It's also free, and synchronizes your history and saved passwords/acc with your google account.

IE if I have to choose between IE & Firefox ... however I use chrome

Posted by: beejays53 May 8 2013, 07:42 AM

Why all the hype about Firefox?I find it slow and has issues when loading sites.I use Chrome for almost everything,but still use Firefox when I need add ons ,such as the Seo add on which displays the page rank in a Google search,imperative when doing keyword research.
