blinkI noticed these days that most people are turning away from intenet explorer to others like opera,mozilla fireworks etc
Do you think this is because of the various virus that has been attacking internet explorer in the recent days or they are just tired of it and they want to try something new? AS for me i use internet explorer molliza fireworks and opera,but till now i cannot tell you which one is better.

I think it's because Mozilla Firefox is much faster and easier to use, I moved from Internet explorer to Firefox and find that Firefox is really much faster compared to Internet Explorer. I use anti virus so I don't know if it is really attacking my computer when I use IE.

I don't think anti virus will attack your computer but it will protect it. confused

You have written as "Fire Works". It is "Fire Fox". People mainly shifting to FireFox, because of its speed and many other facilities compared to Internet Explorer. If 'IE' is making these standards, people will come back again.

yeah thats the answer. IE has not been customer friendly. by this i mean that the customers (we) don't get the best out of the IE that we et thru microsoft. they are not innovative. so people keep moving to the ebst they find in the market.
i belive Firefox seems to have speed and lots of add ons which can be best used. i also like netscape.
Do u know? the good thing about these two brosers when compared to IE is that the cache is written in indirect form. that is, if u receive a hidden exe file (might be a virus file) along your attachment and you download the attchement then, it will first be stored in Temporary internet explorer directory. but it will be written as cachee****.*** which can be read only by the broser. by this the initiation o fthe virus file can be prevented. thus preventing virus explosion.

I have heard that Firefox shall be faster and much more easier to use than IE.
I have tried Firefox 2 times,but I didn“t like it.
For me,IE works much better

Hi my friend, happy

I only use Internet Explorer when I do my PTR sites. I seem to get more offers accepted by using IE. I don't use IE much because I just don't like it. thumbdown

It seems real slow and I'm always getting knocked out of it when I'm working on something. I use Opera as my main browser and use Firefox some of the time. The only problem I have with Opera is sometimes I have trouble downloading things. Other than that it's great!

Happy MyLotting,
Char

The reason I am turning away fron internet explorer, is because it keep shutting off on me, and it always does it when, I am in the middle of something here on the internet.

myLot reputation of 85/100. alpha7 (812)   ranked 1,689 out of 10,573 in internet  3 months ago

Hi,i prefer firefox 10 times more than the mozilla firefox because it is easy to use and also user friendly and has many features compared to all other brrowsers. internet explorer just hangs my computer every time i opens so i prefer using mozilla fire fox. and the main feature i love is it helps you to recall all the tabs that were opened while you are switching of the computer. and if your computer turns off by mistake or by some problem while you opens itt again you will get tabs back.and if you use ie. hackers are behind you. be careful. anyway have happy my lotting. best of luck.
