yes. check your mail. not still using, but again. hate to say it (flames a’coming) but ie7 is better than ff this time around…
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
I can understand people having an allegiance to a product that was good in the past, but IE7? lol. FF 2.0 ftw sorry drdrew.
hehe, i knew that’d get a couple of you going. :) on my linux box, no doubt, ff wins hands down. the windows ff leaves a bit to be desired, imo. unless something drastically changed, when I first tried 2.0 it was dog ass slow and asthetically completely unappealing.
you guys know, you’re in the business, first impressions can make ya or break ya, so forget the plugins for this and that. out of the box, i like ie better…sorry. plus “it just works” with [gasp] my live.com homepage, lol. not an ms fanboy by any means, but i knows what i likes.
now i know how blake feels (zune)… :)
Whats “IE”?
Oh, its that one microsoft product that my grandma uses.
The one that changed the world when it added ‘tabbed browser windows’ to its latest release.
I use FireFox on my PC at work and Flock on my MAC. The only time I use IE is when an intranet site at work forces my hand… er, browser. I would otherwise not even keep it loaded.
I wish I could comment on performance, but I can’t even get IE7 to stay open for more than a few seconds before it crashes.
wow, i kinda dig this being the only one who likes ie (well, Ryan’s grandma too). to each his own, case-o-rum, case-o-rum…
Ever since Vista came out, I haven’t had a need to use Firefox anymore. I’ll stick with IE7 unless Firefox comes out with something I can’t live without.
Man, Crunchgear readers are so peaceful. On other sites, just mentioning IE and Firefox in the same sentence would launch a vocal missile attack that could easily send some Amazon servers into nirvana (I’m still mad they went down like some cheap-a** website when the Xbox360 offer went live).
Nobody has even mentioned Netscape or Opera yet. I remember the good old days when I would actually surf around using Lynx or when Netscape 4.7 was the only useable browser (even though I loved Konqueror) and when websites would actually block their content through JavaScript if you were using IE. Nowadays there are plenty of flavors and browsers that have found their ways into the users’ hearts.
However, those really significant performance or CSS/HTML-compliance differences that you saw in previous years are only marginal now these days, and the browser-wars seem to head into a direction of friendly cooperation where RSS-symbols are shared, toolbars and plugins work everywhere, and where I don’t have to spend 50% of my time on developing cross-browser-compliant CSS anymore..
woot! atta boy ken!
thanks, sascha. while i took the road less travelled in my quest for unpopularity, i know everyone’s just bustin’ my chops. you want to start a war here you have to try pretty hard. or do this…
HEAD ON SUCKS!
