WHY IE? . Too much spyware for my liking. I just converted abother person to Firefox today at work. I'm NOT going back on it !

It's so fun to convert people, especially when they realize how bad IE is after.

I think this was just a [successful] method of getting more visitors.

BECAUSE IE Is BETTER at lots of things than firefox thats why ie.

i use ie when i want to use it yes it has security holes but so do firefox and the others they are not being exploited because they want those of us using ie to go to firefox when there are no patches for the holes so they can get back in to our computers. that is why most the yapping about firefox is going on.

i found it does not make the pages load the same as ie. fire fox forces the pages to load strange? it will load the same page that works in ie perfectly to where it wont work perfectly in firefox?

as in msagents they work in ie with no trouble but in firefox they dont work?

in maxthon they work but the page markers for the msagents to use to point to locations on the page are out of sync. because the page is loaded differently then in ie.

so i go with maxthon over firefox for a second browser.

you say so it is only msagents nobody uses them?

wrong oh so wrong you have a hp computer you need msagents to get the tour guide that hp uses on their web site and the tour guide tells you things that are not on the pages.

that is just one company there are dozens of companys making interaction software using msagents. and they need to interact on web pages then the browsers neeed to support msagents or their users are not getting the web sites as they are ment to be viewed.

i use them for jokes and songs. but hundreads of others including companys use them for tourguides. just about 95% of the verabot pages outthere are msagents.

Yes, but Firefox has less security holes, and they are usually patched quickly. Please compare the Firefox 1.x Secunia report to the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Secunia report.

No, malicious software distributors want no such thing. They have an easier time infecting you through Internet Explorer, even when you have all the patches.

The author of the Web pages is probably designing around Internet Explorer’s behaviour instead of W3C standards. Firefox follows W3C standards more closely than Internet Explorer. Thankfully, Web designers are becoming more aware of alternative browsers and W3C standards, so hopefully you will run into this problem less often as time goes on.

Reading a short description about Microsoft Agent, I’m glad to hear that Firefox doesn’t support it. Is there not a way for Firefox to pass a Microsoft Agent object to Microsoft Agent like it would pass a Flash animation to the Flash player?

speaking of security exploits I found that security page to be quite amusing. Because if you check the size of the scroll bar, and the page's file size, that alone proves IE being much worse in terms of security.

no tak there is no plug in that works for firefox on msagents i been yellin' around the different forums for someone to right one but nobody seems willing to take the job on. and i cant program.

so there is not any.

i got less and less security holes in this ie then you or most people think.

i use all the patches when they show up i use 3rd party firewalls and anitspam and antispyware programs sometimes i run 3 or 4 of each one just to make sure there is a gaunlet for them to run threw in order to get to my computer. but you see i am and always will be MR. OVERKILL

no my computer is not slow now i keep it clean by using 3 or 4 different cleaning programs as each one i find has different things it wont clean but another one will.

and i am using ie now and red's site looks the same to me in any of the three browsers i use. IE, firefox or maxthon.
i see no difference in any of them on the web pages only when they screw up the loading of them.


of course i might be an excepction to the rule ? as i knew before i got online that there was a need to be secured, as i knew there were people around like red that can program all kinds of things.

so even with all that stuff i have and run i make it so nobody can get in the computer when i am offline also. ( as in run a program to silently dial in my modem? )

why and how ?

i unplug the phone line

but like i said i am mr. Overkill.
