US Gov't Says DO NOT Use Internet Explorer

[Jonbo298]

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..

That's because there are still sites that are either A) Poorly coded or B) Think IE is the only browser used out there

And I do know that for some sites I have to use IE. But I blame poor coding for it. But I'd say about 98% of the time, I don't use IE.

Oh yeah, and its called a monopoly to your "I wonder why..."

You have to figure out a new email client that, as the article states, has nowhere near as many options.

As Null said, it doesn't come with an email client. You choose whether you want it or not.

Y'all seem to ignore all the downsides of Firefox.

As said, every browser has its downsides. With Firefox, they don't outshine the good side to it for me.

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.

As far as I know, I wasn't trying to make it sound god like. We were just stating its basically the best alternative to using IE.

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.

I like having like 10 tabs or so open at once. Especially when visiting GT after an extended period. I just middle click a link, then click more until I'm done and then I start reading through each link I clicked. Also helpful for when you use Google. Open multiple sites in one browser rather then having to right click and choose open in new window (annoying to me IMO)

And like I said, I've never had security problems with IE before.

This problem could've become a MAJOR attack if they didn't track down the Russian server fast enough. Some more popular servers were already infected with the virus and redirecting people to the russian server without the people knowing and downloading the virus. So be happy that they jumped the gun fast enough to pull down the Russian server before this could've been possilby the largest internet attack (from what they made it sound like and from what I read on how it was being distributed)

So what are the advantages of switching from a browser I have no problems with and does everything I want already?

You have your opinion. I have mine. Take a look at MyIE2 as Null mentioned.
