Forums - Microsoft - Firefox finally takes the crown as number 1

I use firfox right now. Mainly for ad block. I want to switch to something else though as firfow uses alot of memory on my machine. I haven't tried chrome yet maybe I will do that.

Hey guys! With E3 right around the corner and the 3DS version getting closer, I thought I'd share with you we Smeags and I have planned for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. League. It was based on the old Brawl league with some improvements that we hope will provide a faster pace and allow players of all skill levels to enjoy competitive Smashing. Tell us what you think, we are open to ideas that might further improve our future league.

But seriously, if you dare critique any of it Smeags will ban you for high treason.

Super Smash Bros. League

  • 100pts for every player who joins
  • You can challenge only people who are within 3 ranks of you (Ex. if you're in 5th place, you can issue a challenge to users ranks 2 to 4).
  • Once a challenge is issued, it must be retained for at least 24 hours (once that period has passed without an answer the player may choose to remove the challenge and challenge someone else)
  • Challenges have to be accepted within 3 days (or else you'll suffer a 2 pts penalty).
  • Once the challenged user accepts, both players must battle within that 3 day period (plus a 24 hour extention). Any player who does not show up (whether it be the challenger or the challenged player) will suffer a 10 point deduction
  • Challenges must be made public in the League thread as well as accepted challenges.
  • Matches will be a best of 3 rounds, 3 stocks, 8 minutes, no items (subject to change).

Reasoning/philosophy

  • Everyone starts on equal footing
  • The points distribution favors activity/challenges since you can gain points quicker by challenging someone then by waiting for a challenge.
  • The lead the top player can amass isn't too big since he can only gain a maximum of 5 pts per challenge and can lose it pretty quickly but a dominant player is still rewarded for his exploits.
  • On the other end, lower ranked players don't lose pts too fast and can regain a few positions quickly with some wins.

On my old laptop i use chrome as it uses less ram then IE or firefox.

Firefox user here.  Hardly anyone I know that has any PC knowledge still uses IE.  Most I know use Firefox with a few leaning towards Chrome.  I have to use all 3, including Opera for my job, and Chrome is pretty cool, I admit.  I may switch over to it, but IE is just annoying.


wtf. Your opinion may to not use IE but wow that is like saying if you knew this then you would do this. What an absolute joke of a thing to say.

I know about computers, I know a lot of my mates use IE that know PLENTY about computers. Stick to your own generalisations.

Knowing "plenty" about computers doesn't cut it; If you're into hardware, you don't necessarily know about software. IE is a pile of crap; it's slow, buggy, unsafe and a hell to program for.

In europe according to Statcountrer. They say its due to Chrome taking Marketshare from IE while FF maintained its postion making it number one. LINK

Its because IE doesn't come with copy of Windows 7 in Europe that these browsers are even close to IE. General public doesn't need to switch browsers from IE as it does basic browsing fine.
