But the article says you still have to use IE..
Firefox doesn't work for everything, including all websites. Interesting that IE does, I wonder why..
When switching to Firefox, you have to spend time finding all the plugins again and reinstalling it all yourself.
You have to figure out a new email client that, as the article states, has nowhere near as many options.
Y'all seem to ignore all the downsides of Firefox.
I've been using Firefox for about a week and, yeah, sure it's nice. But it isn't God like y'all are making it out to seem.
Like I said before, to me, tabs in one place are the same as tabs in another. Y'all may love it but I don't care. In fact, I prefer the tabs to be hidden as they can be with the Start Menu.
Speed increases and memory saving is a joke. For speed, maybe if I was still running a Pentium 2 machine with dial-up I'd notice, but with the computer I have speed is a miniscule improvement, if that.
For memory, I checked with XP how much memory each new window of IE takes and it's so little it doesn't matter. Maybe when I have 30 IE windows open while playing Half-Life 2 with Photoshop rendering and SETI@Home churning data in the background, I'll fire up Mozilla instead.
Seriously, though, I rarely even have five IE windows open, let alone more. Whenever I'm doing anything memory intensive such as games I turn everything else off anyway. So again, the movement of tabs doesn't matter.
Something I kinda liked but what I don't remember anyone mentioning (
) is the Download Manager. It helps me remember what I've downloaded; but even then I think it's cumbersome and gets in the way. I can take care of my downloads myself.
And like I said, I've never had security problems with IE before.
So what are the advantages of switching from a browser I have no problems with and does everything I want already?
A bunch of wasted time. Get off your high horses.
