Re: 6545 reasons not to get Firefox

Firefox is more secure cuz there havent been created that much Spyware etc. If I surf 1 night with IE and I run my ad-aware full scan I find various spywares... Mostly IsT and Claria DyFuCa and such but with Firefox there isnt even 1 detected only browser cookies but they are needed in order to have a fast browser...

I have Ad-Aware se™ PRO

No cookies aren't needed for a fast browser. What they do is track what sites you visit most, so a company can better support your needs and interests.

Some people don't like the idea of a website knowing what sites they've been to. For the most part I'm okay with it I keep and eye for seriously intrusive cookies, but most I just leave alone.

The Cache is what is needed to speed up a browser, it saves a copy of the website on your computer. It allows it to be updated faster.

Internet Explorer. Your still plauged by security issues with IE.

Opera is the best quality, but I prefer the customizability of Mozilla based browsers.

Re: 6545 reasons not to get Firefox

IE is old and out of shape. The only time I use IE is whenever I am testing a website. I check it to make sure it's compatible in IE and FF. Fire Fox though, has proven time and time again to out match IE and out perform IE in many cases. All browser's have bugs, but the main reason I found and use FF was due to constant issues with IE. Someone recommended Fire Fox and I have since made it my default browser. I like IE, but it's old and Fire Fox give's me more bang for my buck! (more useful for me in other words- I know there both free).
