To FireFox.

Internet Explorer has crashed on my computer for the LAST TIME.

I mean, really, how is it possible that an internet browser can fail THAT badly? IE is almost as bad as Safari. Almost, but not quite. And besides, FireFox comes with the ability to download little cool plug-ins and whatnot. Now I can finally adblock Marlboroman's sig.

This thing is great.

The real question is, are you going to continually bash people that do use IE? That's an add-on to Firefox, right?

I use both.

If people want to use IE, fine. I just got tired of it crashing every time I opened up a new tab.

I switched to Firefox when IE was complete shit, and even though IE7 is decent now, I'm too used to Firefox.

Oddly enough IE has crashed very few times on me, lthough Firefox used to crash constantly. FireFox is a great browser, but the zealots who bash iE at everychance ruin the whole idea for me. I personally stopped using firefox when iE got tabs, only thing made me even try firefox

i used mozilla originally, then ie got tabs and i couldnt really care less so i was using that again, then i started getting bizarre errors while using ie probably related to spyware and switched to firefox (and deleted some spyware), and im still using it now. firefox loads a little slower on my computer than ie, which is the only drawback i notice. my firefox is pretty much default, maybe i can set it up to run more in the background and load faster, but its not that big of a deal to me anyway. in general im happy using firefox for 90% of my browsing, and its always good to have another browser like ie handy if u get the rare compatibility issue. ABP, the ad blocker is excellent, thats definitely a point in favor of firefox.

Well, Firefox Crashes MORE for me, plus, when I click on it, it acts like it's loading the entire internet, takes forever to actually load up. Plus, it has an update about every 45 seconds, which is nice I guess, but annoying.

I use Firefox if IE can't do a specific task, then and only then.

So for me, no thank you.

I hate the IE7 UI with a passion, didn't like Opera's either so I went for Firefox.
Nice and simple and customizable. Ad Block Plus alone is reason enough for me to use this browser

He said he tried firefox because it had tabs and IE didn't, then switched to IE when it got tabs.

tabs are fail
I alt+tab between windows, it's faster than my mouse and lets me use both hands. tabs are pointless if you do that.

I'm immune to these web-browser nazis, you'd be better slagging me off for being heterosexual than for using IE. (Like the 2 gay guys and 2 straight women on my team do!)

Wait, just to clarify, you want me to Alt+tab between windows, and the Ctrl+tab between tabs in some of those windows? And I suppose you want me to navigate the pages by tabbing through all the possible links and Shift+tabbing back again?

No thanks, my mouse would get lonely eventually and murder me, it's quite possessive.

Don't be an idiot. You said alt tabbing between windows is easier than mouse clicking between tabs. Use one browser and control tab between tabs.

Gotcha.

Point taken, but I Alt+Tab because not all the windows I switch between are browser windows, it might include winamp, windows explorer, or any other window. If I was only using a browser than I would probably Ctrl+Tab.

Thus: Tabs are as useful to me as a vagina on a teaspoon.
