stop using internet explorer.

[martyr]

THIS BUTTON IS A LINK DIRECTLY TO THE SELF-EXECUTING INSTALLER.

please.


you know it'll be good for you.


besides, i want to switch to .png for my avatar, and internet explorer doesn't know how to render transparency correctly, because it sucks.

if you refuse to switch, post your reasoning, so that i'll know why i hate you.

[I Hate Pants]

UUUUUUUUUUUUGH! Too lazy to download. Another day perhaps

[Squeeky]

I've had the fox since 0.7a

Gotta fucking love it.

I didnt think it got better, until I discovered extensions and themes around 0.8. Dear god

edit: I'm a Mozilla whore. Thunderbird for the win

I need to get a Firefox shirt.

[martyr]

it's 4.8mb and self-installing. you can do it, and you'll be glad

[Triggar]

I hated it the first time I tried it.

Then I saw my professor using Mozilla, and I went to the computer lab after class and tried it. I liked it.

When I came home, my friend Gavin had a link in his AIM profile to Firefox, and I clicked it retardedly thinking it was Mozilla.

Downloaded and installed Firefox, wasn't sure about it at first. Had to configure it.

Now I LOVE it.

LOVE.

Highly recommend it.

Netscape? NETSCAPE?

Please, for the love of god, switching from Netscape to Firefox would be like going from a 87' Duster with no wheels to a Lamborghini.

[Kyonye]

so give me details on why i should switch?

[Angel_of_Death]

Laziness, and I don't have any problems with IE.

Tried, tested, and true.

[ChronoSphere]

I've been using mozilla since 0.8.
Why switch?
Tabbed browsing
the best fricken popup blocker known to man
You can get RSS readers for it
A lot harder to get spyware on your machine by websurfing on Firefox.

[martyr]

summary: internet explorer is bad.

firefox, a free open-source browser, is smaller and faster.
it has built in google search and popup blocker.
it has extensions and plugins that allow you to customize it beyond squeeky's wildest trips.
it lacks the security holes that ie has (and microsoft admits and announces).
it can display .png images correctly.
it uses tabbed OR windowed browsing - surf with one window or many
it has "copy image location" on the right-click dropdown from a picture


there's more.

edit: lazyness does not qualify. that link goes straight to the file, you worked a lot harder making the post about how lazy you are than you would have by just installing it.

[martyr]

there, i've fixed that first post for you "lazy" types.

[Squeeky]

Firefox is the my favorite program in existance. I'd pay $50 a year to use this browser. No joke. It's that good.

It's got everything and more

STFU. If more people keep saying that, they're going to start charging .

I dont like the way pages look in firefox, besides that firefox probably has more holes than IE, the difference is FF isnt used as much thus hackers and asshats dont try to find holes. Once they do then it will be just as hosed IE
