The FF and IE battle will always continue I guess, but it seems most agree that either of them are better than AOL explorer.

And Blaat thusly states the blatantly obvious :wub:


AOL should be destroyed, sued for massive use of spyware, false advertising, blatant preying on those who are unfortunate enough to not know enough about computers and therefore will believe whatever they're told, for issuing the most awful service in the world, the most unreliable service in the world, and primarily for actually making people PAY for such service (or lack thereof).

All who use AOL should instantly, at this nanosecond, request a MAC code to transfer to another provider.

None should ever use the browser, either, which is basically IE only trolled with spyware and with a disconnection every time it crashes or you close it down.

I can't speak for Netscape or Opera, but FF pwnz IE.


The only Mozilla that AOL explorer does pwn is the one who posted this thread.

Opera is ok, Firefox is my favourite at the moment though if IE7 is better then I will switch back.

AOL as an ISP sucks.

but AOL as a content provider [ Webtv, webradio, shoutcasts, ect ect ] is actually quite good, and most people wish that they could just get a cheap AOL for just the content it provides.

Only need to have all those options because Firefox sucks and you need to tweak it so much in order to make it work half as good as IE :shiftee:

Of course, how bias...you have tu use about config to make the thing actually perform...then you compare it to untweaked IE.


Atypical bias ;)

What is funny is that I have DSL and FF Bon Echo, and my browsing has never been this fast. EVER.

When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.

I'll have to agree with you there. FF might not start up as fast, but it sure as hell loads web pages faster than IE.

@ Fenring: ?! You mean after three days of browsing regularly, I can get it to go even faster?!
@ Komataguri: I haven't tweaked FF at all... I got it because I didn't want to walk into the spyware infested deathtrap that is known as untweaked IE... I don't even know how to tweak browsers, so I went to the one thing that sounded good. That happened to be FF. And I happened to come across FF Bon Echo, so I downloaded that. ;)

Technically it's not tweaking cause it's all built in. ;)
Even then, IE needs third party addons to make it remotely usable. Not what I call better than anything... besides, if IE is great, why are more and more people turning to alterantive browsers?

Well, I haven't tweaked Firefox at all, I don't make use of tabbed browsing, but I sure as hell always use FF over IE now. For one thing, it doesn't eat up space with temporary files like IE does. For another thing, the spyware you have to clean every three seconds, Koma? That's IE's fault. The worst I get (and it's very rare) is the odd cookie that I can easily clean. Even our old friend WinFixer has difficulty...since I can just kill Firefox.exe process. Not like IE, where even if you do kill the process it's already started installing. FF is much more secure.

because the vast majority of FF users are under the age of 20, trying to look "cool" by being different....even tho they ain't being diference since everyone i using it to try to look different.
