Mozilla Browser
« on: July 4, 2005, 12:34 AM »
Does anyone else use this browser?

If so I would like to hear comments about it, I am currently using it, mainly because of what i hear it is better than IE. So far it is running pretty damn quick and smooth for me.

If you're talking about Firefox, then I use that.  I like it a lot better than IE, although I still have to use IE for Yahoo! mail and some other stuff.  Still, Firefox is a lot better than IE for most web pages.

It's as big as a house on walking legs,
and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

I use it and like it.  Sometimes I run into sites that it doesn't read properly, though.  It's a decent alternative if you don't like IE.

If you don't use Mozilla Firefox for your web browsing (at least over IE) you are really missing out. Not only does it do a better job of loading pages, it allows you to web surf in ways not conceived before via the use of extensions and applets, which are easily available from mozilla.org. You can do tab browsing, load external links or thumbnailed imagery into a new window/tab,  and zoom in/out of large images. There are many security features as well, including the ability to filter out ads & scripts, prevent sites from loading software on your machine, and of course block popups (built in feature). Since I started using Mozilla's suite of web browsers about 2 years ago, it literally pains me to use anything else. Start using it, you won't be disappointed. Then again if you don't use it, you'll be a schmuck like JJ.  ;D

I just started using Firefox a couple months ago because IE kept screwing up on my computer. I have had very few problems with Firefox and I really like being able to "tab" pages into one window. It's definitely something to at least try.

Appreciate all the input guys, ill use it for a while instead of IE. But so far I really like it, no problems what so ever. Another question I have is about how secure it is if i were to check my bank online. I know i should just go to the site and find it on my own, but i prefer to have someone elses opinion, someone who uses it alot.



                           Thanks

it's just as secure as using IE, likely even safer since IE has so many bugs in it that are utilized by the types who would spy on your online transactions. if you were comfortable using IE to check your bank account, you should feel just as comfortable using Mozilla
