Disappointment with Firefox 1.5

  • Thread starter Thread starter Newfdog
  • Start date Start date
I'm hooked on Maxthon. I've tried Firefox......not bad, but Maxthon is
loaded
with features and options. Too many hassles with extensions everytime
you
upgrade to a new version of Firefox.
 
ERROR! Intelligence level NOT confirmed. Brains smaller than subatomic
particles cannot be detected with current technology!
 
At last! A logical person in here!

That is exactly my point.... Maxthon and AvantBrowser are better than
firefox
but these FF users hate MS too much to recognise that.
They think that FF is more secure but that is because it LACKS some features
such as Active X... so? You can turn that off in a split second with Avant,
and turn it on again when you need it.
 
I have no act. If you dont like my style you can leave. On the internet
there is a thing called FREEDOM of speech, and that INCLUDES insulting
stupid people.

Just Like This:


After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive," Osama
himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let
him know he was still in the game.



Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line of coded
message:

370HSSV-0773H



Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had
no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI.

No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA.



With no clue as to its meaning they eventually asked Britain's MI-6 for
help.



Within a minute MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply:

"Tell the President he's holding the message upside down"

Wow. An IKYABWAI response. Very original. Are you in the 3rd or
4th grade?

Isn't Maxthon a front end for IE? So don't you face the same security
problems with Maxthon?

Only asking ;-)
 
you are correct. But FF users cannot understand this.

Hey I am a FF user too... but I choose avant as my main broswer
because it works best with the internet as it is at the present.

I agree! I think. Maybe.

Oh, well, that explains it. I thought Maxthon was an IE shell with
improved functionality, in particular easier GUI for handling the
options that can mitigate the security problems that come with using
IE's Trident engine and ActiveX.

I don't use FF because I hate M$. I use it because it's at least 100%
faster than IE. I am forced to use IE to stream football play by play, and
it takes IE at least 5 minutes to load the station's home page and the
streambox window. The same thing will load in Firefox in less than a
minute, but won't play because the station has decided only IE will work.

Firefox is a far better browser than IE, but IE users love M$ too much to
recognize that. Putting fancy front ends on IE is like dressing a mule in a
wedding dress.

I think Firefox is more secure because they address problems immediately.
And what do you M$ apologists have to say about the critical security flaw
that M$ hid from you for almost a year, and has allowed they MIGHT release
a patch if they ever get around to it?

put both programs on your quicklaunch and time them when you start them.

FF is not faster than IE... there have been comparison studies and IE is
still faster.
I sugest you do some google searching before you claim hogwash

That's pretty much what I found. Still don't have a reason to switch to FF.

If you hate 'M$' so much, then why do you use Windows?

(For me, FF feels faster and more responsive than IE, when scrolling
thru large pages)

It is here, by several seconds. Also, launch time has very little bearing on
response time when in use - which is more important, to me at least. I'd
rather have a 20 second startup but almost instant page loading than instant
startup and five second delays for each page. But as I said, FF is faster for
both, IME.

Not at rendering.

I believe my own eyes and experience. That's enough for me.

This is beginning to sound like the "safe sex" vs abstinence debates.

The benchmarks sites I've seen (sorry, not googling them up again) all
had IE still a little faster at rendering than Fx 1.5, but Opera
significantly faster than either. Mileage varies from system to
system, though. Moving back and forth in the history is so much faster
in Opera and Fx that I couldn't care less about marginal differences in
initial rendering speed.

Me too.
