Title: What browser do u use ?
Post by: Ox on May 29, 2006, 01:10:28 PM
I ditched Internet xplorer for netscape and firefox because explorer canT read css properly and
displays some web pages incorrectly.
THANKS FOR LISTENING ?

LOL CUB  ;D

Use IE6 and Netscape at home. Netscape doesn't show the posts fully for some reason. You have to scroll line by line  ???.

Use Mozilla at work which is similar to Firefox. Very reliable.

Changed to Firefox recently.
But noticed if you log onto a site, say OER  ;), you can use Firefox for one nick and Explorer for another and be logged in at the same time.
Not that i would ever do that   :rollin
And would not likely get away with it anyway with Big Brother here watching me lol

That course has turned you into an IT technical nazi.  ;D

Just for the record, I use Mozilla Firefox.  8) I stopped using IE because I kept getting pop ups saying there was an error and it would have to close, Send/Don't send.  >:(

Isn't that what General Disregard/Capt revenge was doing?? Interesting how both of them went quiet at the same time after a flurry of posting not long after I revealed their previous aliases from that other site. Either it's the same person or they each have a hand on the same keyboard.  ;)

Getting back to the topic, Moi, I use both IE6 and firefox. Firefox is less prone to malicious code than IE but some sites use IE proprietry stuff in their web design including some funky java that firefox struggles to handle. You can try and download all the firefox plugins you want to try and get it working but you'll end up disappointed. I follow the 'horses for courses' rule and use firefox whenever I can and use IE for sites that require encrypted logins or sites like the AFL that are Java or flash crazy.

Thanx Ox  :thumbsup
And someone thought i was a technical guru lol  :rollin

Thanks Tiga for the advice.  Seems to be the way to go by using FF and then IE when it gets all too hard.
Will try out Ox's way the next time i want to log the AFL stats.

good one moisy.

I tried Ie7 beta and its the same as ie6
THEREFORE;
I have come to the conclusion that users of ie5,6,7 do so,not out of neccessity 
but ignorance.

Myth "I xplorer works best on a windows system"

It's just more of Gatesy's propaganda.

Firefox and Netscape 7 are less congested and smoother running,not to mention tyte security.

Why does Gatesy hate them ?

Because he cant ping u from cyberspace when u use alternative options.??

Everything i find out about computers is usually 5 years later than everyone else - so i live in ignorance until I eventually catch on lol.
But i started using Firefox at work and luv the tabs - means i don't have to have 500 windows open, as i do lots of research on the net for my work - plus all the footy sites i have open as well lol.

Another question:  How long should we let Microsoft experiment with Vista before we go out and buy it.  I've got XP at home, and does the job for all i want it to do, but eventually will upgrade.  I'm expecting heaps of teething problems, so i won't be touching it for a while.  But have to keep in mind i guess when i next upgrade.

Anyone know much about Vista?
