IE doesn't have tabbed browsing though...or an adaptable plugin allowance...The features may be in other browsers, but there's no denying lacks of IE's features

Besides, WinXP SP2 just made me more irritated with it. I dont care about the security of my PC, at the most, a reformat!
Don't go with Linux :s. You say you don't want SP2 because you don't care about security. 90% of all the updates you will ever get for Linux will be security related updates. An OS like Linux is all focused around security. Íf you don't even want to install SP2 to secure your self, then don't bother installing
Linux.
Finish the problem

crazybrowser, which is based around and uses IE, has tabbed browsing and some other features to go with it, and therefore might be more to your liking, then.

Nah thanks, I'm with Firefox. :p
But my point is that cookie said isn't true, because even MS don't put any extra features into their browser...and even though it can be moded it's not got the same features of other browsers by far...

Firefox (as well as all the others) do support background coloring in the body tag... That's simple basic HTML....

don't twist it around. What I mean is that it is useless to compare all the special features because almost every other browser has exactly the same features (ok, except MSIE then :rolleyes:). And that is why browser-wars starts...

If you wanna list something "special", make sure you have tested it PERSONALY in other browsers and are 100% sure another browser doesn't have some kind of similar feature, otherwise it is useless to list them and only shows that you didn't tested it properly or don't know what you're talking about...

And yes, you can have just the same virusses/trojans/whatever in Firefox as in MSIE as in every other thing. It is up to the user to configure/secure/use your browser properly....

sorry to sound so harsh, but these kind of threads always evolve in the same way and always end up the same...

eg:
X: I like browser x because it has function b
Y: browser y has just the same feature and also feature z
X: yes, but browser x has also feature c
Z: I use browser d
X: hahaha, that's for noobs
blahblahblahblah
X: you suck
Y: you too
Z: stfu

Mozilla Firefox, I just love it, and the themes that you can download are absolutely amazing, if I had to rate it, I'd give it 20 out of 5

400% :O
* FrozernFire agrees with traxor
you may say that IE can be moded, but you will have to agree that the basic firefox has more features than the basic IE

Anyway... o.O

Browser: Firefox
Website: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox
License: Free :)
Why I use it (specal features): Tabbed browsing, extensions, themes

I personally had NO problems with Internet Explorer when I was using it oh so many moons ago. I was just curious about Firefox, so I installed it, and... yeah. But there's nothing wrong with Internet Explorer aside from needing a few features... o.O
