Title: Mozilla Firefox
Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 03:29:20
I have just downloaded it and been playing around with it for quite a while.

My only regret...not downloading it sooner. It is so much quicker than IE and has many more useful features.

For those that don't have it you can download here:

http://www.mozilla.org/

you can still keep IE as well so no worries there

I use Avant mate, it's the mutts nuts. It's tabbed browsing is far better than Firefox.

Avant has the same security risks as IE as it is only a skin for IE but it has a built in pop up blocker and a shed load of features like history cleaner and tabbed browsing. Too many to go into here and I don't want to give them too much free advertising.

just downloaded opera and it can over complicate things. If you want it without ad support you have to pay. If you get used to it, it could be better i spose...

I will stick with firefox as it is safer (security wise not chav wise) than avant (avant still uses IE)

I use firefox. People always say IE is shit but the only advantage I can see that Firefox has is tabbed browsing. (which is brill)

IE's pop-up blocker leaks quite a bit. Firefox's seems more stable. Tabbed browsing is obviously a great benefit. Firefox is faster (for me anyway). If you download extensions it does slow it down but you get more features

Yeah same with me, I normally use firefox but only because of the tabs, apart from that there's not really much in it.
