i no i got that all ready does that do the same as tuning it urself i wonder????

yes it does. But it does it for you.

there's also an extension that does the same thing
called
'Tweak Network Settings'

Guess what! I use Opera!

also you can't even view some sites eg-windows update?

Hotmail will not send the whole page that it sends to Internet Explorer, just to get users to switch. They want people to switch to Internet Explorer, but I think that more people just switch away from Hotmail. I am a Gmail user, but the Hotmail restrictions in non-IE browsers didn't exist when I switched, Gmail kicked Hotmail anyway.

ActiveX is a Microsoft-patented technology. That is why it is not in Firefox, Opera, Konquerer etc. Well, Microsoft kind of stole the patent, but that's besides the point ATM.

Windows Update (Microsoft Update) is ActiveX based, and needs to be, so that it can change your system files. I explained above why ActiveX isn't in Firefox.

OPERA SUCKS!
YOU NEED TO PAY FOR IT
ITS BUILT ON JAVA
AND ITS  BLOATED
OPERA HAS NO SELLING POINTS FF IS MORE SECURE IT HAS EXTENSIONS AND BETTER TABBED BROWSING !

You don't have to pay for Opera: there is an ad-supported free version. It's not built on Java AFAIK, and anyway, what's wrong with Java? It's a popular, good quality language!
Also, Opera is highly secure (much more than IE anyway), and is in a number of ways better than Firefox.

Can we stop these petty browser wars already?
Opera = good
Firefox = good
IE = not so good
QED

You can choose to pay for Opera, otherwise you can choose to have web-based advertisments displayed a a small pane. I chose to have the advertisments provided by Google, and they are not intrusive at all.

Where did that come from? Opera is not built in Java. If it were, is there something wrong with that?

Firefox has a 4.7 MB installer. Opera has a 3.6 MB installer. Firefox requires 52 MB of hard disk space to install. Opera uses 5.2 MB of hard disk space.

Opera has the best security track record of all browsers. It seems to me that you are caught up in hype.

The features provided by the most popular extentions for Firefox are already built into Opera.

What makes Firefox's tabbed browsing better than that of Opera? In Windows, Opera uses native Windows MDI. Firefox uses its own emulation to provide tabbed browsing.

Note:
I don't hate Firefox. I just like Opera better. I think that Firefox is also a decent browser, and have become a Spread Firefox member. The purpose of this post is to deny incorrect information. If someone has a correction, please post it.
