Like I said, I don't need a bunch of new options. I like the simplicity. And tabs in one place are the same as tabs in another place, to me.

to put it bluntly, its a pile of ****.

Your mom!

not to mention Opera and Firefox are faster than IE, much more customizable.

How do you notice that? I never notice how long IE takes to load a page, unless it's a slow site.

google searchbar adds spyware. and popups never bothered me much either but its so much easier just never seeing a popup again (even on porn sites). i NEVER get a popup on firefox and even if i did it wouldnt open a new program. just a new tab that i prolly wouldnt even notice anyway.

It's spyware that you don't have to accept. Just change the options. And thus the rest of your argument is NULL!!1!

plus sometimes when using IE it can install stuff on its own with out telling you. even with turning security up.

Since when? I know you're probably right, but I don't have all these problems that everyone mentions. Or at least if I do, they don't ever bother me or my computer.

I just don't get what everyone complains about. I use Norton anti-virus, have hardware firewall, run Ad-Aware every blue moon, and I'm happy.

hehe. thats what they all say about tabs till they actually use it for a while. Theres a reason why every browser has em now, and even the new IE will have em. its simply.... BECAUSE THEY'RE BETTER.

and the simplicity thing doesnt make you sound like you tried firefox at all..... its bare bones. all the extra options you download the ones you want. they dont come with it.

Your mom!

pwns yours.

it depends on what your doing. but they way they operate, opera and firefox and programed smoother with newer code. most sites i personally wont notice because i have a 4mb/sec connection.

but i've used it on a dialup at work and timed it on the same page, and firefox will do it faster. same with opera. they just tend to pop the pics up faster.

the program itself is basically spyware. it installs others that you dont know about even if you change the options

i was happy too untill i gave the others a solid chance. same with most people. i didnt switch cuz i had a problem. i switched cuz i wanted to try something new... i stayed because its better.
