Someone using it? Is it better than I.E. Explorer and Netscape? Please, write here your considerations. \/\/. |

I'm using it, and yes: it is better than IE and Netscape. That's not only an opinion either, it's an objective fact. |
||||||||

Do it |

(btw: I just fucking used the tags for navigating quickly, and it's great!) |

using Firefox too. it's good and better than IE at work we've had some problems with Firefox, when switching a flash with a video inside from normal size to bigger so that it covered part of an iframe. The part of video directly over iframe lagged, so the iframe had to be switched off and back on by javascript. The video didn't lag in IE and Opera. |

i doubt it. and yes. get firefox. |

I'm a firefox fan. I'd recommend it. That said, be careful with extensions. They can turn it into a memory hog and cause it to crash. Extensions are a tainted gift. I need to work through mine again to see which is causing the problems. Probably the fact I have so damn many. Some of them are things which should be built into the core though. I tested out opera on my Pc the other day. Loads pages a lot quicker than firefox. |

i do like it, windows should be so flexible to personalize with extension like stuff these nerds propagating it piss me off however also when upgrading you can looe bookmarks (i now use the backup plugin for that, as well as those searchplugins) |

i'm on os x and using it. it's my favourite browser so far. only a few sites/plug-ins don't work, then i have to use either safari (which has become incredibly slow to load, and then loads for no reason and for ages all the time... i had to force-quit it all the time... don't know why it does that now but it's barely usable anymore) or internet explorer (which i stopped using months/years ago, too many bugs - i just miss being able to go through a page by entering part of its title, that was great...). extensions are very nice too. |

(the message conveyed by this post is that firefox is my favourite, but every browser has its bugs and downsides.) |

im quite sure over 75% of users here use firefox. it's best there is imo. ie sucks bad. |

I'm currently using both FF 1.5 and IE 7 (beta 2).... the beta is quite similiar to FF... but i like the user-interface in IE7 a lot more compared to FF. IE7 renders CSS a lot faster than IE6, but generally still tends to do it even faster, althought we should not forget it's still a beta with a lot of bugs. however, if you're using IE6 today, Firefox is an better option. according to xltronic's statistics covering a week back: 1. Firefox 53,01% 2. Internet Explorer 32,50% 3. Safari 7,38% 4. Opera 5,17% 5. Mozilla 0,93% 6. Netscape 0,49% 7. Camino 0,45% 8. Mozilla Compatible Agent 0,03% 9. Konqueror 3 0,02% however, only 50% of all Firefox-users are having the latest version, so please upgrade.... it's recommended to switch from FF 1.0 to FF 1.5. you can upgrade your old firefox from here: |

if you haven't you might need to get to turbocharge safari. I used Firefox for half a year (before I fixed the safari thing), but I wasn't all that excited about it to be honest. But compared to IE its the best thing in the world. |

Vlari set me up with that safari fix thing a while ago, and it helped but it's still not that fast so I switched back. I'm the 0.45% using Camino. I tried Firefox but I'm happy with Camino now I've worked out how to make it the default browser (actually I cant remember how I did it). Its simple and fast, it doesnt play windows media but it offers to open them in WMP so thats fine. Firefox seemed like the same thing but bulkier |

haha, it didn't work out for ya? oh well :) |
||||||||

well it made a huge difference but not huge enough. please dont laugh at me because your browser is better than mine. |

it wasn't at your expense, don't worry |

I'm finding IE7b2 faster than FF right now. |
||||||||
|
|

kicks Firefox's ass. Fast, small memory footprint, secure, already has most of the practical functionality that Firefox gets through extensions... |

giginger: it depends on what website you're checking... sometimes IE7 is faster to render a specific website, and sometimes FF is the winner... it looks like FF seems to handle/render the JS/CSS-combination a bit faster. oh well, it's still early beta - but one thing is for sure, IE7 will screw up a few websites using IE-hacks.... so redesign/check is needed. i've seen sites which renders correctly in IE6/FF but is a mess in IE7. more work for the web-developers.... |

Check site in FF, then IE6, then IE7. Good use of conditional commenting. My site looks fucked in IE. |

yeah, can't wait for beta3... since we're in the middle of developing xltv2, it'd be kinda interesting to know whether a few css bugs will be solved with the final release candidate OR if we have to use conditions to serve a corrected style sheet for each browser. i'm prepared for the worst tho ;-) i was kinda surprised ClearType was enabled by default in IE7, and it took a while before I got used to it, but now websites looks so much prettier with ClearType on... w00t! |

you'd be an idiot to still use IE.. don't know about the security of the new IE beta that phobs is going on about, but it still can't be very trustworthy. |
||||||||
|
|

it's NOT recommended to install the new IE7 Beta 2. although it's publically available, it's only recommended for web developers. but I bet the final IE7 will take back a lot of FF users. |

I always wonder why internet web page browsers generate so much heated discussion on the internet. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ lol monkey boy karl pilkington and his perfectly round head |

IE7. It's what I use. Works a treat and saves me fucking up my computer. |
