What's with people bashing IE??? I don't get it.

[DreadStunLock]

People seem to tell me alot:

"Dude! IE SUCKS! IT'S SLOW AS HELL, WTF!?"

"Omg noob you suck, IE is slow and unsafe insecure crap"

Really? So far, I don't see what's slow about it or insecure, I tried Chrome, it fails with the bookmarks and the bullshit you have to go through to install dozens of addons just for it to work my way.

Chrome doesn't seem to be opening anyway faster than IE, they both the same for me actually.

Mozilla? That thing doesn't seem to be faster either, and the UI of it is butt ugly for me at least, and also with the dozens of plug-ins you need to install just so it operates my way.

Safari? Yeah, I didn't even bother to try even typing in to my search box.

So why everyone say it's bad?

Agent once said it has more holes than Paris Hilton, as much as that didn't make any sense, in anycase tell me your story. So far what I read on the internet, it seems bollocks.

To any average user (I count myself as simply average regardless of how much time I spend on the internet) they all are pretty much the same. I see it like different flavors of ice cream. Some don't like vanilla, some don't like chocolate. If given either though you'll most likely eat it because it's all ice cream. In the end, just stick with your favorite flavor if you have a choice.

BOOM!

If anyone talks about security leaks then you should be reading it like this:

"DUMB PEOPLE GET VIRUSES MORE OFTEN BECAUSE *insert browser* DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY GO, 'This will mess your shiz up'!!!" (Usually all "leaks" are patched up pretty quick or, again, average users never find themselves in a position to be taken advantage of by them)

Talking about compatibility though... IE and Firefox are the most supported in my experience, Safari and Chrome being next in line, and what the hell is Opera? (I have it on my phone, but STILL)

I don't think it's the best browser that you can use now. Bad opinion is because older IE was really, just really terrible and overall Microsoft products are just poor.
Problem of mozilla is that it can eat so much RAM ( but who cares about that ), all add-ons i need are "adblock, adblock popups and noscript".
Well, I don't even use Windows anymore.

And if we talk about security, almost all infections are because of user's mistake(s)

I actually managed to block all the popups even all the YouTube adds WITH those crappy annoying popups on the videos by using the Hosts file, after copy and pasting it from one of the Yahoo Answers, a dude posted every IP of those adds, haven't had any popups since.

P.S: Don't tell me you are MAC now. Oo

[knooger]

I'm using Linux and I see no differience between mac and windows, it's just the same crap under different name.

This is too true.

The other difference is the systems that they are put on. Macs cost a lot, PCs CAN cost a lot. Both accomplish the same thing (can't even say there's no gaming on Macs anymore).

PC's and Macs are like republicans and democrats.  When looked at from a slightly further distance they are the same exact thing.

Does IE support mouse gestures yet? Because I fucking love mouse gestrues.

[DreadStunLock]

Mouse gestures. oO

[Spark Mandriller]

They're fucking handy, lemme tell you.

[DreadStunLock]

May I has a screenie?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/mouse-gestures-redox/

Something like that?

[DreadStunLock]

Hmmmmm, well they seem to be just fun to mess around with, but nothing too convenient or widely used.

[Farley4Fan]

Allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current webpage, without reaching for the toolbar or the keyboard...

I don't see how you can mess around with it.  I think its only purpose is to be convenient.

I couldn't see myself getting use to it though.

That's what I thought until I tried them! Being able to open/close tabs without having to go all the way to the top of the screen is pretty cool.
