US Gov't Says DO NOT Use Internet Explorer

[Vampyr]

Ummm...IE really does suck, you guys who are defending it. And tabs in one place are NOT the same as tabs in another place. It gets extremely annoying haveing several windows open and chatbox opens. It's confusing and stupid.

And you said that you didnt want these new features because you "liked to keep things simple"...well Firefox is about as simple as it gets. It basically comes as a barebones browser, which is one thing that contributes to it being faster (yes, that's actually true: it is faster.)

IE may have been good at some point in time...but not any more. There are obviously better browsers...doesnt this thread speak for itself in that area?

Like GM said...most people who use IE arent very computer savvy and dont realize that there is something better. (Unless you are lazy, like Ace. )

Of course, if you are really set in your ways...cant really convince you otherwise, and it's no skin off my back.


(Now it's time to warn my parents and brother to stop using IE.)

Yeah, i recomend Firefox, its super easy to use.

As my good freind Ron Bergundy would say, is its jazz baby.

Firefox i think is the best one you can use, its super easy to use....so just get the god damn firefox.. I mean what more do you want? You get a fox...and fire.....put them together and you get a Firefox...what kind of person doesnt want a fox made of fire?

A simple under 5 megabyte download is soo hard to do with a broadband connection. And oh my, having to click the mouse a few times is just so time consuming to do it

Um, what exactly does that mean? One place not in another?

From foxfire website: "View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them."

Exactly the same as the one I use so don't know what you talking about. *shrug*

And is it just me or does it seem stupid to wear a t-shirt of the browser you use? Next thing you know they'll have a foxfire army killing IE users. "Heil FoxFire!"

Understand now? I was making a point that having your tabs in one window is a lot better then having every internet page at the bottom of the screen. Manasecret said having them in once place was the same as having them in another (ie. having them in one window or at the bottom).

And it doesn't use as much memory to have tabs. When you open each IE window, its another chunk of memory used by the browser. With tabs, its still gonna use a little more for each tab, but its not gonna hog as much memory as opening a whole nother browser
