Windows Browser?

Posted:
in General Discussion edited January 2014
I'm stuck with a PC at work, and I'm trying out Firefox right now. Not bad so far, but it seems a little less responsive than IE. Is Firefox a good choice for someone who adores Safari?

    It's a good choice in that it's better than IE. It doesn't support ActiveX (or something) so you won't get stupid malware on your PC.

    Firefox or Mozilla are your best bets on a PC (both have security updates posted today - Go there now!).

    There's Opera, but the days of paying for a browser are a decade gone (donate to Mozilla.org instead!).



    IE should only be used when you need to click on Windows Update.

    Mozilla satisfies all my PC browsing needs (except at work where tha bastards insist on IE )

    Opera's free (or at least there's a free download available on http://www.opera.com/

    Well... there is a free version of Opera with a giant banner ad... you have to buy it to get the "ad-free" version. Firefox is slow to start... but is fairly responsive as a browser once opened. It's clean and isn't integrated into every nook and cranny of the OS like IE is. It's always good to have a few browser options. I personally just can't get into Opera... I can't quite put my finger on it... it just doesn't seem very intuitive.

    Just switched to Firefox yesterday and I like it much more than IE. No more popups and annoying dialog boxes everywhere. Best of all: I have tabs back.
