Internet Explorer it runs faster., Firefox sucks up too much RAM it took up 200 MB's of ram once.
Can I finish the damn story?Quote:

@Zantetsuken: No...not really. It's your system, use whatever you want, I'm not going to go into a hissy fit because someone's using a browser I don't use. Try a linux fanboy for something like that.
Have to agree with Baka Fish ... at the current state noone is really superior. The new IE 7 is still in beta, but it really has everything FF has, except the options for skins and free extensions. IE supports extensions since IE6 (under the name "Add-Ons", but sadly most of them are not free, except the Flash Player and some others, like the well known Windows Validation Script (for people who don't know that). As Baka Fish specified FF uses too much memory, IE hardly riches 68MB. Those who think IE is unstable are wrong. It's stability was highly improved (not one crush in 3 weeks, since I started using IE 7). The new browser's layout is much better too. It's really easy to use, all the not needed buttons have been taken away (but the skin just sucks -_-;;). The security level has been greatly improved too. Somewhere I read IE 6 SP2 has surpassed FF's security level and now IE7 has been further improved (Microsoft is starting to scare me O_o;;). The load speed has been improved too, so no more "IE is slow" (finally ;_;). Oh ... almost forgot ... IE now supports "Alfa Channels" as well (aka PNG transparency).Quote:

IE has always protected their users from exploits. Windows Update has been created for this purpose. If you have ever used WU, you probably noticed all the updates for IE Microsoft published. They published an annoyingly big amount. The diference is just MS publishes small packs, Mozilla publishes an entire new browser's version. It's true that MS integrated a Pop-up Blocker in IE just recently, but still, you can't say MS have never done anything to improve IE's security. As for viruses, trojans and all the malware ... IE is not an Anti-Virus, nor FF is, and noone protect you from them O_o;; As for SP2 ... with that Service Pack Microsoft really made a big step forward.Quote:

mhm ... to add ...
Nah, tested, with just 5 windows opened IE jumped to 70MB ... in this case, it's still the same ...Quote:

The only thing I noticed .... it's that with the same amount of ram, IE runs just a bit faster than FF ... manly because it's a "optimized" process for Windows.
mah ... that doesn't really help anything ... yeah, it may clear your ram ... but all that annoying thing is moved to the HD ... and when you want to re-use FF it must move from HD back to RAM ... if you consider the speed of that, it's even slower than before >_>Quote:
Also, anyone having a problem with the Firefox "memory leak" problem should look into this.
Comparing FF with IE6 has no point, since FF is far better (except on a security level WITH SP2 ... if the info I got are correct). I was comparing IE7 with FF in my post >_>;;Quote:

Well, both browsers really bother me, and they have their reasons.
Internet Explorer bugs me with its nonstandard way of rendering things.
Firefox, despite the huge following it has, it has plenty of its own problems. It's got memory leaks on par with IE, and it still doesn't support all the CSS tags.
But the big thing that bugs me is not one browser in particular. It's that there are so many different browsers that handle things differently. As a web developer, trying to make a site completely compatible with all browsers is not easy, since they all have their own quirks and react differently to certain CSS properties, and have their own versions of the DOM for Javascript... That's just frustrating.
I think both Firefox and IE are fine.
However seeing that I have to choose one I'll go with IE.
It's not that I have anything against firefox, I have used i before, it's just that I have a fast computer and a good internet connection so firefox doesn't make much of a difference.
As for pop-ups I have Norton Internet Security.

This is exactly why everything I put on the web is in the form of a PDF file. Not only are they humongous and excruciatingly slow to open in windows, they're really fast to open and create in Linux, and always render the same!Quote:

Uh... To the contrary, Internet Explorer is faster. That's because something like 75% of the browser is already loaded as part of the system.Quote:

Maybe it's the cute little mascot that compells me. Firefox has it's issues, but I can't stand MicroSoft (it's the evil empire!...and Wal-Mart is right behind it!)
I just like useing internet explorer.
FireFox fan boy: Ahh, Bill Gates, .........ppl hate ur IE, aha
Bill Gates: stfu noob, I'll come back to crush you all!
FireFox fan boy: yea yea whatever.... ~walks away~
Bill Gate: I know where live punk!
Tab feature alone buys it for FF
I think he meant web pages....it's how it came across to me. I don't see a difference myself, only that IE is faster to start up than FF.Quote:

Thats me, i like FF far more then IE...
becous the layout. The two browser newest versio is almost identical, but i dont care.
FF rocks.
Internet explorer is by far better. Sure FireFox at my school is a hidden internet but it still is slow and lots of things it won't got to!
