Firefox Myths?

[sweener2001]

spybot doesn't have to be browser compatible, either. i run java sites all the time and don't have problems with my FF. your issue may not be with the browser at all. if FF is up to date, then your java may need to be updated, or your computer is so full of bloat/mal/spy-ware that it happens. especially if you're not running basic protection programs.

I do run spybot every week, and ever since I went with firefox, the ocurrences have gone way down, that's the only reason I keep using it.
If it were for speed, I'd be using IE.

interesting. i wouldn't know where to begin with your java issue, then.

but as far as i go, i love the customization that FF provides.

I thought this thread could've shown some intelligent argument instead of flooding with partial fanboyism (latter part) and now it's turned into a anti ad-aware/spyware discussion...

Firefox is more hyped than any other browser. On a lot of websites, you can always see some logo that says "Use Firefox...Recommend using Firefox." I swear I fucking see those a lot, and to me I just hate it when things are hyped like some sort of ad that's trying to cram down my throat, in this case Firefox. Just another reason I hate it even more.

And I updated Firefox a while ago (Yes I have it but I don't use it, so stfu), and it just glitches even more. Even further discourages me to even try to use it...

I personally like IE best because yes it's easy to use and fast. But Opera is ok too, at least I don't see the "Use Opera" logo too often.

But IE works fine too, if you know what you are doing, that is.

and by know what you're doing, you mean not know, right?

although ie7 is closer now to being a real option, it's still a ways off. and if you don't use firefox, just un-install it. pretty simple, that.

or use safari, or seamonkey, or switch to linux, or grab some really obscure browser, just stop putting all kinds of unnecessary attitude where it doesn't belong. anger management? did someone steal your stapler?

...did someone steal your stapler?

HaHaHa! Nice.

[Panzer88]

yeah does anyone have any complaints with safari? (mac users that is) just wondering what it's like.

[adventure_of_link]

you do know that safari has been ported to the iPhone, iPod Touch, and even Windows, right?

[Panzer88]

yeah, but I figured not all the builds were the same and since it was developed for Mac first and foremost...

Either you are biased here or trying to troll me here, which I believe is both. Yes I know what I am doing, I use Spybot and Ad-aware and Norton to clean the stuff, and along with SandBoxie, so I don't have problems with IE.

And since you said I "don't know" what I am doing, you must have assumed me as a fanboy. I don't have a fanaticism with IE or Microsoft, or anything else, but I think their products are ok and easy to use, that is all.

Angry? When was I angry at all? You must have a strange understanding and interpretation of my posts. Either that or you don't understand me at all.

we all just want to be understood

do you use webroot? I use webroot.

[TheMst1c]

do you use webroot? I use webroot.

No I don't. I tried ZoneAlarm once, but I didn't like it. With Sandboxie I barely even uses Ad-Aware or Spybot S&D anymore...it just get rid of the spyware trouble for me.

Go google Sandboxie, and you'll see why.
