If you know what you're doing, then you do not use IE...


"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."

People with windows who format their PC twice a year, for performance, say those things
My last windows ran for near 3 years, till I got a new laptop.
Had all sorts of browsers, but IE was fastest in starting up and loading pages
You just have to know how to deal with all those add ons and such ^_^

Re: Laptop Issues, help needed. . .
we've never formatted our PCs (well, except a laptop whose hard drive failed), and we've found firefox to be superior to IE in any and all ways... especially in security...
There is a reason that the majority of those that know more than minimum about computers use other browsers than IE...
We also use Opera and enjoy that as secondary browser (it too is very quick, and can be set to even quicker mode), but we've not tried Chrome, so we cant speak for that one...

Re: Laptop Issues, help needed. . .
we remember having fun a few years ago in school, since we discovered that the student accounts there did not have limited enough accounts... the registry editor was accessible... so IE6 went from being "internet explorer 6 provided by [school name]" to "internet security hole provided by the devil"

Re: Laptop Issues, help needed. . .
Yup ... both programs nowadays spam you with updates, firefox aswell as IE etc
What version we @ now ? and how many holes were fixed ?
Oh well .. both IE and FF have large support, even IE has many things to prevent many unwanted sites and sorts ... but realy, cerrtain sites may occasionally load a site a second sooner, but it just depands on processing power, line speed and how well your PC is running.

I am not people. Ignore that other one when he's in this kind of mode, it's odd.
Anyway. Just don't use a browser. Jack your brain into the internet directly. Beats 'browsers', 'search engines' and all that stuff.
