Razor512 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 microsoft doesnt understand what update and upgrade means. look at most of their programs, IE went downhill after ie6 ie7 uses a lot more memory and cpu usage and lacks many of the features of ie6 like ftp support (in ie6 i can open any folder and access one of my few ftp servers, ie7 removed this ease of use all microsoft has been focused on the past 6 years was eye candy and not performance or functionality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeks like us don't care about eye candy just features so we'll use something that can add features... Firefox come to mind it has so many addons it's a much better choice, when was the last time your mom/dad/sister/grandparrent needed a feature that IE didn't have?

SomeoneE1se Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm going to say no to adblock Did they have a problem and ask you to fix it? People can browse the web without ad block and end users don't even notice or think there's something they can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 we all could use IE but firefox has more advanced user features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 firefox has more advanced user features Does that equate to "Allows me to control the browser. Remove control away from the pages I view." or some thing to that effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor512 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 firefox has many good features like grease monkey, for some time I have been making a grease monkey script that will allow hak5 to better fit different screen sizes by changing the fixed sizes of the forum to a more dynamic look where it will size it's self based on the size of the screen and not just a fixed size designed for 1024x768 was able to do it by saving one of the pages and editing the code the only problem is getting grease monkey to apply those changes to each page in real time cant do that with IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bugg3r Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Version 8, as of now is the worst ever... i know it's only in Beta stage (as i see it.. the whole Windows thingy is still in beta...) but from the quick review i did on it.. it seems that not even MSN, MS's home site looks right in it... i had to Emulate IE7 to see it right... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 ...sigh... concept code -- it does what it should... kinda.. and only one way alpha -- crashes all the time but does what it should mostly... buggy beta -- crashes some times... some bugs... memory leaks... ineffective code... insecure code charley/gamma/delta -- almost never crashes... few bugs... better/faster code RTM -- SHOULD be safe fast "never" crash and bug free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
