Truth is, if it wasn’t part of Windows nobody would use it. Hopefully Europe will stop MS from forcing it onto all Windows users with Windows Update.

Why don’t they just join forces and become one ruler of the browsing world?! You know? Isn’t Sony and Microsoft finally putting their heads together with the playstation/xbox (blueray) situation? It’s not like they still can’t be freaking rich, right!? It all goes to the one thing… Who’s got the most power? Well.. the answer really is…US damnit…the consumers… and aren’t we always right?! So let’s just tell them that it would be a lot nicer if they just pull together on this so we can view and download their cracks alot easier and faster….

Ok…enough bs… for one session.

I’m using Opera on Windows. Opera is for people who want small and fast browser with a lot of features out of the box. IE has the fastest startup time on MS Windows machines, it is good when you want to check the web on the rush. Firefox is my favourite browser on Linux. Every cat has an attitude.

(Microsoft) Web Slices = (Apple) Web Clips

I have to say i really like the Activities contextual menu looks really useful…However I think I’ll wait for Firefox 3 when they finish with the betas

I hope they make it more usable, i find it really difficult to find anything now with IE7. Firefox is so easy to customise, i just couldn’t live without it.

Opera is much faster, but speed isn’t everything. I can see both sides of the IE FF argument, but I would have to side with Fire Fox users for these reasons. Firefox has a built in spell check, built in pop up blocker, nice crisp look, may more customizable. Sure you can add a pop up blocker for Internet explorer and get enhancements. But, Firefox comes equipped with everything you need! Internet explorer is fine to use if you are at your business and have no other choice; but any other time I would go with Firefox. Opera is for people who trip on the speed of an internet browser, but i would rather use IE7 than opera. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, if everyone was supposed to like just one browser than there would be that JUST ONE. But everyone likes different things and should just stop arguing.

I don’t care what they do to IE, I still won’t use it because it’s HIDEOUS.
