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.
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!!!! - Billy Bob |

You are a funny guy. \o/!
The initial release of Firefox was on November 9, 2004. According to the statistics gathered by w3schools (Browser Statistics). Not including the stats gathered for the release of Firefox 3 (and Firefox's Genus World Record of 8,002,530 unique download in twenty-four hours) Firefox has 41% of the browser market share which almost doubles any single version of Internet Explorer. Although the summation of all versions of Internet Explorer exceeds that of Firefox, you have to remember it is the default browser on all versions of Windows, distributed by 95% of all computer manufactures. Out of that 54% of Internet Explorer users, how many think IE is "good enough," and thus do not even try Firefox? Out of that 54%, how many users do not even know of Firefox's existence? Do to the previous questions, it is no surprise IE is in the lead. However, what is surprising, is that 41% of all users who surf the internet, will go out of their way to download a third party software to replace the default crapware FORCED upon them. Whats more interesting, if you look at the trends, Firefox is becoming MORE popular while IE is becoming LESS popular. Do you actually think, if Firefox was installed by default along side a fresh installation of Windows, Internet Explorer would even exist? Quote:

I could negate all your points, and I could go on even longer about your comment regarding Open Source software, but I'll just let them alone. Lastly, according to Zimbrablog (And The Winner of the Browser Wars is…. » Zimbra :: Blog), Firefox renders pages TWICE as fast as Internet Explorer. Not to mention it uses twice as less memory: (http://lifehacker.com/assets/resourc...mory_test1.php). I could list a lot more than eight reasons as to why FF > IE. However, as for me, I am happy using the minority browser, even though it uses less resources, is faster, and more secure. ![]()

Of cours fire fox does not come with microsoft that would be like KFC (owned by pepsi) selling coke products. The Open Sorce comunity is not dead, it is acualy growing in popularity. I use IE but only because my proffesors do and i need my sites to render corectly for them. That is only a precaution of course all of my sites render well on both browsers. Sites not rendering corectly in one browser and not the other is usualy due to programmer stupidity. Also the working in one browser and not the other works the other way around, some sites work well with FF and not with IE it all goes back to the developer. I am asuming when you say that FF crashes more and it has been scientificly proven you are refering to the statistics? if so you should know that statistics can be made to say whatever you whant them to say. And let us not forget that most of microsofts technologys were stolen from other people. It was not copied from MS if it was then they would not render diffrently and firefox has a lot of security precosions built in. Also i belive most people now adays (that are good with computers) use FF, I attend a university were most the majors involve computers and most all the students use FF in one way or the other.

Everyone has their own opinion and I find that most people like FF better once they use it. For you to like IE better is odd but your choice. I can't stop laughing when I read your post to respond to your points individually.

When I code webpages, they always work better in FF than IE. I have never had an issue where FF doesn't display a page the way I want it to. There have been MANY counts on which IE has not rendered it properly, and hence I have to write extra code to compensate.

Oh, certainly - FF leads the way in terms of extensions. IE has a few plugins, but nothing like FF's extensions - and of course, it's all open-source...
