Firefox vs IE 6 by lrac522 on 03-04-2006 at 04:20 AM
I was informed that Firefox is much faster than IE 6, how factual is this because I haven’t the slightest clue?
RE: Firefox vs IE 6 by ShawnZ on 03-04-2006 at 04:21 AM
Firefox in all honestly is slower, but it has good reason to be. I won't get into it now and you won't understand or care about the reasons anyway.

Because he ShawnZ said it's slower, doesn't mean you should stick with IE. Get Firefox or Opera.
RE: Firefox vs IE 6 by -dt- on 03-04-2006 at 05:22 AM
firefox is only slower when you start it up , not when rendering pages (which is where speed counts) and firefox is only slower when loading because
1) IE starts with the OS
2) Firefox renders its self.....

You can add themes, extentions and scripts (with the help of greesemonkey)

No browser is "better" in the end it is down to personal experience
RE: Firefox vs IE 6 by K.Rishi on 03-04-2006 at 06:09 PM
IE 7 would be a big hit if they could make it more customizable like firefox... for now.. my vote goes to firefox

Microsoft will force it to be a big hit. Alot of Microsoft's programs require IE to work e.g MSN Messenger

Personally I dislike IE7 Beta when it comes to the GUI. I just think that GUI belongs in Win XP.

all they really did is change the gui , add feeds and hope people "take the bait" (yes i know they added a few css fixes aswell but pffft they could have done that in a small bugfix.... )
what i recommend people use is either Firefox or Opera .
