Thanks for the heads up about Firefox! Just downloaded it and love the add-ons. Thanks, Tony!

I switched to Firefox when our family computer crashed for the umpteenth time and a tech support guy told me to download Firefox and “never touch Internet Explorer again.” It immediately killed our spyware/adware problems, and runs pretty much seamlessly. LOVE IT and I push it whenever I get the chance, though it’s hard to move some people off that giant Microsoft name…

Switched from IE to Chrome about 9 months ago and would never ever ever go back. Haven’t tried Firefox. Favorite aspect of Chrome is its seamless google “mothership” status, as ryan said, and the fact that it’s fast….faster than IE, anyway.

I have used all of them. IE is the worst. I like aspects of Chrome and Safari, but I have found myself liking and using FireFox now over the others. More features, and faster! I have pc’s and mac’s, switching to all mac moving forward. I use FireFox on both systems and it is great!

Switched to Firefox a while back… the add ins are a must…
Make sure you get AbBlock Plus, it cuts out a ton of junk.

I (regretfully) purchased a PC laptop 2 days ago. I started using Chrome on it. There are still some gliches but its streamlined and very “google”… meaning if you use gmail or google it is like a mothership version?

firefox

1. Faster
2. Open source
3. Does not have Microsoft in front of its name.

Switched when the last “hole” rumor came out. I’m loving Safari, faster and fewer crashes.

I switched to Firefox about a year ago. It crashes less and I like the add-ons.

People still using Explorer? I guess since becoming a MAC user I never saw it again, I started with Safari(which comes with any MAC) then my video compadres told me Firefox is way better, they were right and here is supporting proof.
