Why do people still use IE? Do they want viruses or what?

I don't get why you want to use IE occasionally even...like...why?

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Because Fox on demand only lets me use IE.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

firefox is faster.. but it is a lil screwy.

 

Use Process Tamer to save your RAM. I love firefox, but many people have noticed (Me in particular, since I have under 1 GB of ram) that it eats ram.

Still, I would never go back to IE.

Firefox 3 should be using less memory overall, especially when it's running for a long time. Firefox 2 used to suck up memory when running for more than 30 minutes.

Also try the other browsers, at least for a while, and then use the one you like most. We should be grateful there's a handful of free alternative browsers and we're not locked in IE. Opera, Safari and Firefox are the most popular and each one is different. I really love Firefox and depend on some of its add-ons.

Well if you really need to occasionally use IE then you can still use Firefox you just need this plug-in:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

"IE Tab - an extension from Taiwan, features: Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox..."

It lets you open IE tabs while using Firefox. You can easily switch between IE/Firefox tabs to if you need too. I've been using it for awhile now and it works great(and you don't have to bother actually starting up IE!)

FireFox FTW!

I'm suprised how much faster it loads (like .01 seconds) instead of .1 seconds.

Some sites use activeX controls that only work in IE.
