Why do you think Firefox is "All That"
Donkey_Kong:
Why do you think Firefox is "All That"?
Because of all you hear about it and stuff, I had to try it. It seems to me that IE loads pages faster etc... Am I missing something here?
ChadTower:
Yes. You are missing things.
FrizzleFried:
Hmmm...Firefox seems to load pages about the same speed as IE for me...if there is a difference, I can not tell.
I like Firefoxes TAB abilities...
The plugin features are cool...
A few other things as well.
Bottom line is that i've had IE infections in the past and yet to catch anything with Firefox...
...and I like FF themes as well.
pointdablame:
I like the customization aspects.
Tab functions are great. Themes and extensions add a lot to the browser as well... again going into customizations. I have my browser set up exactly how I want it, and I can't do that with IE as easily (or at all in some aspects)
Go look at some extensions... they add a lot to firefox. I'd even say that without extensions, there's isn't as compelling an argument as to why you should switch.
There was a time when Firefox was far and away more secure and safe as a browser. Those lines have blurred slightly now, but I still think its "safer" than IE in some respects.
ChadTower:
For tabs alone, Firefox is superior.
That's not even getting into the actual respect of protected browser space that IE doesn't seem to consider necessary.
