I use Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2! (if you couldn't tell)

G3K · « **Reply #1 on:** August 28, 2004, 12:50:37 AM »

<3 Firefox.

Andi · « **Reply #2 on:** August 28, 2004, 08:55:25 AM »

The whole Mozilla Pack. (The normal Mozilla, not Firefox)

dark_phoenix · « **Reply #3 on:** August 28, 2004, 01:21:29 PM »

firefox is the best! i dont see why you wouldn't want to use it. no popups that popup continuasly, and a handy tab. (even though mozilla and opera have that too) the cool thing about opera is that you can just right click and move the mouse right or left and it will go forward or back a page.

G3K · « **Reply #4 on:** August 28, 2004, 01:36:46 PM »

Yeah, but Opera is a commercial browser. Even Microsoft hasn't lowered to that level.

Anatol · « **Reply #5 on:** August 28, 2004, 01:45:11 PM »

hehe. They'll find a way to force a commercial one on us someday.

I use Internet Explorer. Why would anyone want to use a different one when Windows already comes with one?

Andi · « **Reply #7 on:** August 28, 2004, 02:20:44 PM »

Internet Explorer has:

no features like
-popup-blocker
-cookie manager
-password manager
-download manager
a lot of security holes
no skins
intigrated spyware
(I heard in SP2 they have changed a bit at it, but SP2 is the LAST thing I'll install.)

Anyone else wants to go on?

Conway · « **Reply #8 on:** August 28, 2004, 02:34:35 PM »

Integrated spyware? That's the first I've heard! O_o

Lemeri · « **Reply #9 on:** August 28, 2004, 03:08:10 PM »

IE is SpyWare, but it's what I use anyway.

Andi · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2004, 04:14:05 PM »

IE uses for the "Related Links" Button a service called Alexa. This software stores everything you enter in forms, where you go in the internet, your IPadress and some more things, even if you don't use it.

Anatol · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2004, 05:44:39 PM »

Mozilla's also so cool cause you can download different extensions for it.

Andi · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2004, 07:30:24 PM »

I had one which enabled mouse gestures like in Black & White.

Conway · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2004, 09:30:57 PM »

I've just downloaded and installed Mozilla, which I am currently using. It certainly has more features than IE, but the whole Java environment can be a bit annoying. And is it my imagination, or does stuff seem to load faster in Mozilla than in IE?

Andi · « **Reply #14 on:** August 28, 2004, 09:32:24 PM »

Java environment?
Anyway possible it loads faster than IE.

DragonsLover · « **Reply #15 on:** August 29, 2004, 05:40:46 AM »

I use Internet Explorer. But your browers are interesting.

Anatol · « **Reply #16 on:** August 29, 2004, 04:30:41 PM »

Oh no! Now IE is beating Mozilla!

Yeah, the user interface in Mozilla seems to be Java based. I could be wrong, though.

Andi · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2004, 06:23:24 PM »

I'm not sure, but I think you are wrong.

G3K · « **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2004, 06:29:16 PM »

I think it was programmed in C++... could be wrong, though.

Oh yeah, a point worth considering; the part of the United States government responsible for computer security recommended that people switch to Firefox because IE was so full of security holes.

Andi · « **Reply #20 on:** August 29, 2004, 06:41:21 PM »

The "German Federal Armed Forces" (Stupid word. But there was no other in the dictionary for "Bundeswehr") also switched to Linux because of too many security holes in MS products.

If I would be programmer at MS, I might be somehow depressed.

Conway · « **Reply #21 on:** August 29, 2004, 06:53:19 PM »

Hmmm . . . Interesting! What's the difference between Mozilla and Firefox?

Andi · « **Reply #22 on:** August 29, 2004, 07:02:34 PM »

Nothing. Firefox is more designed as a single product. Mozilla is the whole suit. I hope that's right.

Conway · « **Reply #23 on:** August 29, 2004, 07:48:30 PM »

Currently browsing in Avant Browser.

Here's a cool page!

hydraboxdog · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2004, 12:33:04 AM »

Why doesn't everyone use Firefox? In my opinion, Firefox is the best. I used to use Internet Explorer, but it is slow and brings me a popup every time I open it. X_X

Lemika · « **Reply #25 on:** August 30, 2004, 05:23:30 PM »

Internet Explorer 6.0.

... Unfortunately.

Lemeri · « **Reply #26 on:** August 30, 2004, 05:49:42 PM »

If you get a pop-up, just use ALT+F4 to kill it. They aren't that much of a problem, and IE works fine for me. I switched to IE rather then Netscape because so many sites only load in IE.

Andi · « **Reply #27 on:** August 30, 2004, 06:34:54 PM »

Currently IE has mor html functions. If you use IE it's also easier to use the buttons for the text format. Mozilla has in that direction too less functions.

G3K · « **Reply #28 on:** August 30, 2004, 07:28:25 PM »

IE supports DHTML.

That is reason enough not to use it.

Conway · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2004, 07:33:23 PM »

I must be really behind! What's DHTML?

G3K · « **Reply #30 on:** August 30, 2004, 08:03:35 PM »

It's an extension to HTML developed by Microsoft which allowed basic animation... unfortunately, only Internet Explorer supported it, and its abilities were so restricted that it became pointless but insanely popular among badly-designed websites.

G3K · « **Reply #31 on:** September 03, 2004, 10:19:09 PM »

Something for all you IE lovers.

Conway · « **Reply #32 on:** September 03, 2004, 11:01:59 PM »

I really shouldn't be laughing at that! (lol!)

Anatol · « **Reply #33 on:** September 04, 2004, 02:36:04 AM »

I like it...very tasteful!

Andi · « **Reply #34 on:** September 04, 2004, 07:18:43 AM »

Hehe! What do you think about a career as an anti-MS artist?

Anatol · « **Reply #35 on:** September 04, 2004, 01:36:10 PM »

Here's a frightening thought! (Don't let it keep you awake at night.)

Lemeri · « **Reply #36 on:** September 04, 2004, 02:26:02 PM »

I'm having a breakdown....

Oh and G3K, don't confuse me with an IE lover. I hate IE more then almost anything. I just use it because all the sites I like only load under it.

Lemika · « **Reply #37 on:** September 06, 2004, 06:03:27 PM »

Yeah, I despise IE as well. And I think that's funny.

The User Interface of Mozilla and Firefox is done in XUL and JavaScript, NOT Java. B)

Conway · « **Reply #39 on:** September 17, 2004, 05:30:50 PM »

Okay okay, I was wrong!

Liebatron · « **Reply #40 on:** January 12, 2005, 12:20:29 AM »

I don't use firefox because it's slower than a dead slug. not just a slug, A DEAD SLUG!

dark_phoenix · « **Reply #41 on:** April 09, 2005, 02:21:22 AM »

I think you meant to say Internet Explorer is slower than a dead slug.

Astral`Lemming · « **Reply #42 on:** May 08, 2005, 09:59:33 AM »

I have officially been converted. I use Firefox now, and I can safely say it rules.

Mr. K · « **Reply #43 on:** May 08, 2005, 10:29:57 AM »

I switch to Firefox! Problem is, my parents don't like it. They are slaves of IE.

drumnbach · « **Reply #44 on:** May 08, 2005, 02:59:37 PM »

I use Space Bison 2.0

AstralLemming · « **Reply #45 on:** October 03, 2005, 04:54:28 PM »

O-kay. That is bizarre.

drumnbach · « **Reply #46 on:** October 04, 2005, 09:12:08 PM »

It's a proxomitron reference. When you surf the web, your browser details are sent to various servers. But you can obfuscate such details with various HTTP header editors. SpaceBison is one of the ready-made headers that comes with the HTTP editing software, The Proxomitron.

Of course, once you delve into it, it is easy to code your own HTTP header editors. Mine's called the Drumnbachomitron; a name that will surely catch on.
