I decided to add in some relevant facts that I think people should know in order to aid browser decisions. It just so happens that the facts do not paint a great picture of IE. :lol:

Another IE fact for you: it scores a 20/100 on the Acid 3 test (tests CSS 3.0 compliance of web browsers), Firefox scores 94, Opera, Safari, and Chrome get 100.
20 is so horrible that boxes that shouldn't be visible overlap and a thing that says "you should not see this at all" is visible underneath the word fail.

i like chrome, i think its a good browser. but i prefer firefox for the fact that there are so many excellent addons to increase its awesome-ness even more. even if firefox does start up slightly slower.

firefox 4 will have a new addon manager to help u see which slow you down most. and disable those which u dont need. i use all of my addons though.

Chrome actually has a formidable list of addons too, though firefox has more, chrome does have them too.

A lot of the good add ons are for both now.

Before you keep criticizing my favorite browser, just know this. I have tried all of the other browsers and none of them worked to my standards that I've set for any browser. IE8 has met them, maybe at times slower than I'd like, but the only problems with IE for me occur when there are multiple tabs open, and I mean over my standard 3, Myspace, Yahoo Mail, & Facebook. The there is only one other tab open, that would be for what I'm working on at that moment, for example, this is the 4th tap right now. There are no problems with IE8 for me, never have been and the ones that did happen though were so minior that they fixed themselves by refreshing the page. IE by far is the best browser I have tried with the others falling far behind in comparison.

After trying the other browsers, [b]I choose to stick with the best Internet Browser out there, IE and to just upgrade that one with the newer IE versions as they are released[/b]


Instead of disrespecting IE for the old versions, people should stop complaining and start trying it. I have seen it work perfectly hundreds of times since it came out on multiple computers. MAybe the old ones were bad, I'll agree with you there, but after that, you lose my respect when you disrespect the newest version, as in the IE8 version.

I don't think that'll work. They simply hate it too much to be able to not insult it.

Oh, is it time to use the forum's formatting effects to make our points stand out?

[font=Verdana]IE Sucks!  Firefox Rulez!  Nah nah...[/font]

Repeat yourelf all you want. If IE is the only one that worked for him, spamming 'Firefox Rulez' isn't going to change a thing.

What was with the 'Nah nah' at the end?
