FYI: Opera was the first browser with tabbed browsing.

Using firefox with non-FF sites = Download the IE Tab extension.

Is there an option to make some webpages open in IE instead of opera for IE only site?

allynfolksjr · « **Reply #34 on:** July 02, 2006, 12:31:00 pm »

Since I've ran into exactly zero IE specific sites that don't run in Opera, I fail to see the use in such a "feature."

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #35 on:** July 02, 2006, 01:07:00 pm »

yeah it depends of if you visit ie only site or not.

Ok, who voted IE? I'd go with intsa-ban on there IP, Email, and Username for life, both here and on IRC.

...What's so wrong with Internet Explorer? Or are you just guilty of blind hatred against anything branded 'Microsoft.'

Ever heard of the word "irony"? ^^
Granted, IE is not da best, but it's still a widely used browser, since Windooze comes with it.

@ xlibman: ADVENT froze for you? Wow thats what firefox did to me

I like advent mostly because of its lovely programable proxy list, making it ohh so easy to hack my stupid ISPs "safe blocks". Lame. One time my ISP blocked ticalc.org because of "criminal conduct". PATHETIC!!!

allynfolksjr - No, infact I am probably one of the most Mircrosoft-supporting people here, IE is just not there forte, shall we say. IMHO, VStudios is an excellent piece of software, along with Office, and XP.

Spelli - Yes, i know someone did it just to be funny, but my statement was sarcastic as well.

rivereye · « **Reply #42 on:** July 03, 2006, 04:05:00 am »

that is the problem here, it is a little hard to convey sarcasm in text.

The only problem I have with FF is when Im opening up a .pdf I hate those! cant do anything til it loads all the way, even if its only 6 megs it takes too long for some reason.

A few things must be said here, but I do not feel like gathering up all the information to back me up here. IE has been slow and unsafe for a while, but with the changes made/being made it will prove to be a powerful browser. I have always went with voting for Firefox, for I enjoy using it and is quite comfortable. But the one who I believe to be the greatest here is Opera. Opera has made several innovations that other browsers adapted later on, one being tabbed browsing as stated above. But beyond that it has many useful things such as widgets, which can be added in Firefox but those are extensions (which are close in resemblance).

Over all, it looks like IE will be ahead of all the other browsers in the future as Microsoft is a bigger company and it comes standard with all PC based systems. Firefox and Opera are wonderful browsers, but it lacks the force behind it (ie. the money). Most people do not know that there are better browsers than IE or if any had exists, as those people do not seek a better browser. Now Firefox looks like it is bigger now as it has been free since the beginning, as opposed to Opera, but now that Opera has become free it looks like it will be used by many more than before.

The last thing I think needs to be mentioned, for those who have not heard, is that Firefox has been purchased by Google. And for those who do not know, Google has become a big competitor to that of Microsoft. So now that Firefox has been placed in the hands of a powerful and well known company, it will be spread more appropriately (as far as I would think).

All in all, the choice comes to the users preference. I do not care what anyone uses, nor do I care what one says of any. Use what you want and that will be good enough to me, but I would like for those to as least use Firefox or Opera for safety reasons. At least until the newer version of IE come out officially.
