The Elder Stats

well i will download it sometime soon to test it out - once downloaded though, you still have a choice to use IE though dont you?

Also, Firefox has addons, and it's open source, making it very customizable. I have a couple of addons myself. For example the smart bookmarks bar. Which puts little icons of your favored websites below the address bar.



It's overall design is also way better that IE's. It also renders pages faster. In my opinion, all the computers at school should have Firefox, it's way safer and faster. But no, most schools still have IE6 (the most piece of crap browser).

Oh, and Tom I think you meant to say FF renders better than IE.

Yes, you do. But trust me, FireFox is way better.

well i just hit 'Download' will post my verdict in a couple of days.

IE also scrapped on of the only things that made it useful, FTP access.
Now that they don't have it anymore, and with an add-on (FireFTP for me) I can use FTP on FF.
IE is moot towards FF.

Well i am gunna type my opinion up now instead of "in a few days".

Well once i got my Faveourites/Bookmarks sorted out and 'auto log-in' for a few websites Firefox is pretty neat, theirs a distinct difference in appearence which i can't quiote put my fingure on. But for some reason FF is slower for me not by alot, butits just an inch slower. For example on the screenshot of teh firefox toolbar on this thread (the one with some of the Elder stats tool bar on). instead of the picture just appearing its scrolled down peice by peice, however its only slower by the tiniest amount ever.

And so i would like to ask if their are any helpful add ons for firefox?

Of course occasionally i probably will use IE just out of habbit but i will need about a week to conduct my final thought.

I use Opera, and I find it terrific. I love it's user friendliness, and all the shortcuts and hotkeys you can set.

I can't find anything with it.

Yes, I did. I'll fix that.

I just want some opinions on Google Chrome.

I've never heard of it.

I've tried it. It's not bad, but since I have Firefox 3, I wouldn't make Google Chrome my default browser. Google Chrome reminds me of Internet Explorer and Firefox combined (with a little bit of Opera in there with the main page setup). It's not a bad browser, but Firefox 3 is much better for me.
