IE vs Mozilla

Well maybe I could try this:
IE is like using a old car from 1930 and not wanting to get a free test drive of a luxury car like Rolls Royce!

Might work, then again you have to remember that IE is something people are accustomed to now, it will be hard to make some people switch over.

I haved used IE for most of my life, it wasnt too hard moving to Mozilla after i read all of it's strengths. Looks better too.

I don't really think Mozilla looks better at all ... It messes up a lot of tables and things, but if you like it then hey more power to ya! I like IE still actually now that I think about it, and I don't think I'll swich after all sorry guys.

But there are always tons of people using Mozilla at the site that I was showing you... Well I guess it's time to change my sig again

Well yeah I'm not going to argue that a ton of people do use Mozilla, my argument is that it's slower than IE and it messes up a lot of pages and quite frankly it just doesn't have much appeal to me in the looks department ...

What if IE wan't interganted into Windows which would be faster Firefox or IE?

I bet IE would still be faster sinse Firefox and Mozilla run off the same engine as Netscape and Netscape has always been slower than IE.

Mozilla loads everything at the same time as IE loads everything once at a time. So i guess sometimes its faster, sometimes its not. It is tho, much faster because it blocks all those pop-ups. And viruses.

Netscape 4x was slow because it used some other browser engine.
NS6+ and Mozilla Preview(yes there was a preview verison) use the Gecko enginge it got faster during the years.
NS as slow because of
3.AIM/ICQ
2.It's over 1 year old.
1.AOL clutter!!!!!!!

mozilla don't have these things and it's faster, but FFox is faster because:
1.NO Mail/News Composer Address book.

Eh, the pop-up blocker thing isn't even that big of a deal for me, even though my pop-Up blocker (google toolbar) has blocked over 2,300 pop-ups and I haven't even seen one pop-up for the past 2 months or so. So I could care less about that and the virus thing. I have never had a virus, I have a scanner for that too though ... So I guess Mozilla, Firefox, NS and yes even IE have their ups and their downs.

stupid google toolbar doesnt block traffic market place. TMP always come up even though i have like 3 toolbars with pop-up blockers.

NOTE: Any topic with us three talking in it has more pages than most topics. xD A chatty group we are.

You noticed that too?

My toolbar does just fine, do you have Ad-Aware. I used to get pop-ups like crazy then I ran Ad-Aware one day (saw it on The Screen Savers TV show) my pop-up problems were solved, and about 400 dataminers were removed from my PC...Oh sorry that was way off topic.

Anyways back on topic, I wish someone would make a web-browser with all the best features from IE, Mozilla and FF that would be cool. But I'm still using IE ...
