ie needs to scrub this “auto installing active-x” crap, and 99% of malware would disappear overnight. That and stop letting users run/open anything direct from a web browser ever. Ease of use be damned: the amount of spy/malware infected Windows PCs is way too high, all in the name of “user friendliness”.
I’m a Linux user, so FireFox2 is installed and staying. No reason to use anything else as they’re all either non-free or inferior.
i like firefox more than internet explorer, cause after i installed explorer 7 for some weird reason windows started tellin me that my copy of xp was not original :wtf:
^ The Genuwine Windows XP thing. Not sure what that’s all about. Microsoft must be cracking on some folks’ copies of the OS because my dad got it also and he’s on IE 6 still. Then, few months later, I got it on my home PC. Clones would get it for sure unless you have a real copy of the OS.
7 just takes up waaay too much RAM to make your browser text blurry. Sadly, I thought this was fixed. Apparently not. The layout is also the same as the original betas with the address bar up and the menu bar not even appearing. They turned this into an optional feature. OPTIONAL. Also, this and the Windows Explorer are now separate in the 7 bracket: means that you can’t access your C:\ drive folders from the browser.
I’m not as happy with FF2 as I should be. It still has ram issues, I don’t like the fact that some of my extensions don’t work, and I’ve had quite a few random stalls and crashes so far. Slashdot also says that there’s some major security issue with 2.0. I’m still using it, but I’m thinking about going back to the previous version.
i must say that after hearing you guys talk about Opera i followed the link provided and so far i am feeling it way more that firefox and internet explorer, so am sticking to opera from now on:wink:
