All of us are Firefox users! Except for Dogmeat. Because he's an IE LOSER!

I ran firefox for a few months and there were some piddley little things I liked about IE better.
I've never had any of the problems with IE most people have because I'm smart enough to only allow cookies and shit from sites I know, not anywhere who wants to puke one on my disk

In fact, I preferred it for the longest time...that is, until I realized how much nicer tabbed browsing is. Ive been using firefox for about 6 months now and I dont think ill go back to IE unless the new one has some major changes.... *cough* tabbed browing *cough ...oh and some image linking updates |

the ie currently in beta has tabbed browsing. i'm personally not a big fan of it and turn it off no matter what browser i use. they got this thing at the bottom of the screen called the taskbar that already does that
 plus i like to be able to view multiple webpages at the same time since i use dual monitors.

i'm surprised that the fact that ie runs anybody and everybody's activex controls hasn't been mentioned.
it's like a slut. a filthy web browsing slut. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

QUOTE (impala454 @ Apr 5 2006, 08:42 AM) Ie doesn't spawn multiple processes I dunno, maybe I'm blind, but this looks like multiple processes to me:  I can do it with even more IE windows open if you'd like. Oh and just so it's clear, the reason the Firefox process is eating so much memory is that there is a video playing in one of the tabs. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
