The title says it all!
Both the new, oh-so-super Firefox 3, and all the previous versions of Firefox have been big disappointments, especially compared to the new great versions of Internet Explorer (I'm thinking of the versions from 5 to the latest release, 7) and I'm sure version 8 will be just as good as the previous ones, if not better!
Internet Explorer IS better than Firefox!
Okay, I admit that the first versions of Internet Explorer wasn't the best, but since version 5, like I mentioned, it has been absolutely great. I've made a list of the reasons why I think Internet Explorer is better than Firefox, which it
is.
- Firefox copied Internet Explorer, as Internet Explorer was here way before Firefox.
- Firefox does crash more often than Internet Explorer. It has been scientifically proven in various tests. I can't remember the URLs to the tests. But it has been proven!
- Internet Explorer comes FREE with Windows! Firefox doesn't.
- I tried using my plug-ins from Internet Explorer in Firefox, and none of them worked. The conclusion is that plug-ins work way better with Internet Explorer!
- Firefox doesn't render CSS properly. It doesn't even have support for great tags like, <!--[if IE x]>, where x represents a version-number. Internet Explorer does!
- Internet Explorer was made and is still being maintained by a BILLION-dollar company! Firefox was made by a group of people who had this ideology called open-source. The whole idea about "open-source" is long gone, but the Firefox-people refuse to give up.
- Many websites do actually only work in Internet Explorer! If you load them in Firefox they look all stupid, but not in Internet Explorer. It renders it perfectly!
- Firefox is trying to update (or at least checking for updates) every time it loads. It would be way better if the updates just came as the normal Windows-updates, like Internet Explorer. Then the user would be without all this "there's a new update" from the browser all day long.
I know that this thread probably wasn't necessary, as I know most people are using Internet Explorer, at least at all the Windows-forums I've been active at earlier. I just wanted to convert the last Firefox-users out there. Fortunately, there's only few of them left.
Like I said, do I think that most of you agree. But comments are appreciated anyway!!!!
