Firefox trumps Internet Explorer, says Microsoft's e-mag - Page 2

SgtHulka · 07-26-2004, 09:57 AM

I've been using Firefox for about a year or so, and can't stand when I need to go back to IE to visit some site that requires it. Sites need to be more browser-friendly. Love the tabs, the extensions, and of course, the Google Bar!

I think Microsoft would be a bit daft if they didn't say, listen guys, go to a different browser. Ours is full of holes. Save them time updating it when all there really going to be is concentrating on version 7 to come out with Longhorn, as I know I've read will happen elsewhere.

I use Firefox on my mac, and it is pretty good on it too. Nice and fast. It uses less memory than Safari, OS X Panther's built-in browser. Yeah, and I don't like how there are sites that only work with IE. Why can't people just comply to the standards?

P.S. I heard that Longhorn might be delayed to 2009 or something, unless they cut out some features, it won't make it to it's original intended due date.
