I'm noticing IE is slower than Firefox which unnerved me a little but if its just a natural thing thats ok, I don't require it to be lightning quick for my usage.

Cin Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I prefer FF's interface, and I do find it faster, plus it has alot of the add-ons IE has and more. <3 FoxyTunes, controlling my music player from my browser screen is very handy.

evilhorus Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Safari would be between IE and Chrome/FF imo It's not good But it's not as shitty as IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solemn Silver Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 [quote name='Łyra' timestamp='1321769204' post='5654503'] FireFox + avast! Pro Antivirus are way better. ;D Except for the avast! updates, every 5 seconds you hear, "Avast virus database has been updated!". ;P [/quote] avast ye matey another update*shot* I really should get firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Gourmet Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I use chrome, mostly, since my pages are right there in front of me. Click and go. The download manager is neat, as well. Firefox is a nice little commodity off to the side if chrome acts weird. As fer security systems, avast is good fer me, along with other free systems. Paying for security? *Pfffffht* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Pudding Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 TC sounds like my mom. She's used to be like "You visit all those flash game sites and they give us teh virus!" When in actuality it was my sister downloading all her music off of Limewire. Man, I'm glad I haven't shared a computer with my sister in about 5 years.

J-Max Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Google Chrome is amazing but it can't do YCM properlly. So I often main Google Chrome and have my Firefox as Backup. IE is way too easily expoloitable by Hackers. Also Firefox loads most of the page BEFORE showing it. This reduces load times a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Good question Rag. About 10 Years ago. Then my PC had a BSOD and someone recommended Firefox to me. Never looked back after that.

[/quote] Interesting me, the only reason why I ever switched back to firefox to begin with was like 3 years ago when my computer's IE java got screwed up due to too much viruses, and could not be corrected without a complete OS reinstall, which I didn't have the original CD, so I had to switch to ff in the meantime to compensate, then I got used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just by browsing a few select decent sites using that (default) browser instead of Firefox? *Has just had the fear of several gods put in him* I just really fear downloading anything at all at the moment. Especially given the opening post. Dammit. I just want a computer so I can write and share stories, why do people have to be so malicious and spiteful to make these damn things?
