Why is firefox better than IE?

[BenKenobi]

Well my friend asked me this question the other day and I was like

I'm like .... its faster.............. and safer............................................. .



What else is there ? He didn't seem at all satisfied with my answer.

[DougBob]

That can not be replied to with anything other than telling him to try it and then ask the question again

[BenKenobi]

Thing is he said he has tried it twice before and it "worked bad"

[Mobojo]

Right... Your "friend"...

Tell your "friend" that the addons and constant attention are awesome. Plus its best to cut as many ties to Microsoft as possible.

Well, lets start with the fact that fewer viruses, spyware, and malware are coded for open source programs then are for windows based programs. Now, lets add on that it is faster to load up and uses less resources then the bloated I.E. that windows tries to sell. Oh, and lets not forget that if tehre is a problem with the program it can be ended without any major problems because it is not tied into any other apps. Unlike windows I.E. which also double's over as the browser windows for oh lets say... your hard drives... or anything else in windows...

I could go on and on, but I won't.

I only care about one reason, really: it's faster.

[Dead...Again]

In a word: addons.
You can find addons that increase the ease of browsing, make it more secure, eliminate ads, add functionality (like gmail access).

i have a friend who been using IE since 01. i told him about FF that its safer and faster and it has nice features. but he won't change it. he never listen.

I have a friend like that too. I secretly hope he collects all the nastiest spyware so i can say "See, told'ya so".

I am a FF3 user as well, but I'm not too sure about your statement above. I went to the same cains lair page in IE7 and it was only using 25MB compared to 70MB that FF uses. (according to the task manager)

The only addons I use for FF are IE Tab, and Tweak Network, because faster fox isn't working yet

So according to that FF3 takes MORE resources than IE7

Hum, well. You are on FF3 compared to FF2, which I am currently using untill most of the add-on's are updated to FF3.

BTW... next time somebody says that I.E. is great to use... show them this.

[ryanbatc]

Yeah, but that's prolly some random user, that doesn't know jack about PC's, and clicks on every flashy thing they can lolz!
