Yeah I use Firefox mainly, good browser, the only problem is that it isn't great "out of the box", you have to install a load of plugins and I'm afraid that will set off some newbie users (and the Mozilla Foundation'll need those if they want to seriously challenge MS). As an alternative I use with IE, it has tabbed browser windows and a pop-up/ad blocker too. |

I user firefox. It definetely requires some tweakage and some plugins to be really badass. The poor support of javascript is also a problem. In fact, the javascript support (or lack thereof) is the only reason I still use IE. btw, I was checking my webstats lately.... In January, 91% of the users of Clankiller.com were using IE So far this month, the number has dropped to about 75%. Ditto for last month, so it's not an anomoly. Across the same period, the users of 'Mozilla' have grown from about 1% to about 15%. IE is doomed. Especially with the next major version not destined to ship until 2005 at the earliest (and only with a new O/S, to boot). I predict IE will lose market dominance by then. |

Well i guess that's why IE got a little revamp with the new service pack, i still use it, but that's because well... it works. I don't really need anything else, it's now got a popup blocker and active X detection (to stop them damned install things) so it's not to bad. |

ignorant, wierd....uneducated. Whatever. Seriously, you guys should try something other than IE. Try opera, or firefox. The incredible speed of page loads alone will make you a convert. The addition of mouse gestures (something I scoffed at, then fell in love with), the lack of popups, tabbed browsing, and the disappearance of most adware/spyware/malware is just icing on the cake. Seriously. Try it for about 2 weeks without using IE. That'll give you enough time to get used to the new interface. You'll never go back. |

lol. 
what satis says is true, with IE, using both adaware and spybot i'd be clearing off quite a bit of crap every week, these days it practically a thing of the past. also with the right plugins you get a built in download manager, addblocking, google searchbar, etc. |

Ok using firefox. One thing is for sure, its not faster than IE. Pic's take a longer time to load. Cool thing I like is the tabed windows. So far other than that, same shit different browser. Ill keep using it though just to test. |

i found this out elsewhere so i'm not taking credit. but type this into your address bar: about:config Hit enter,now you get a page with a bunch of settings from firefox. Search for following and change accordingly: quote: - network.http.max-connections /change value to "64" - network.http.max-connections-per-server /change value into "21" - network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server /change value into "8" - network.http.pipelining /change to True, this will give faster download speeds - network.http.pipelining.maxrequests /change to 100 - network.http.proxy.pipelining / change to true *not sure if this makes a difference to people NOT using proxies.... this give a bit of a speed up imo. |
