| 1331761 | 2013-03-08 07:35:00 | Have to use IE 10 at work, for some reason which I can't fix because I'm not allowed to look its buggy, must say I hate it compared to my FF which is configured to work just how I want it to, refuse to use Chrome as I think it's the worst product Google make yet I love all their other products.

| 1331762 | 2013-03-09 06:26:00 | Well I won't rush to get IE10 but I'll be using it when it auto updates. Let's be honest here, the real reason most people don't like IE is because of anti Microsoft or anti monopoly feelings rather than its performance. Yes it has been less standards compliant etc historically but that effects developers not the average end user. I avoid cluttering my system up with multiple programs that do the same job as much as possible so I stick with IE. I find the more you add to windows the more potential for problems you create. I quite like chrome and I don't mind FF but I see no compelling reason to install either as long as IE works and it does. It might be different if you could replace IE completely and not have problems with Windows but you can't. Firefox is better because of themes, extensions and other customisability. IE might not be slow or horribly non-compliant (any more) but when you get a one-size-fits-all interface you can't change and practically non-existent plugin\extensions, Firefox is the winner. Been using IE since IE6, I'm not a Microsoft hater, but feature-wise Firefox wipes the board with it. |

Ditto, except replace Firefox anywhere in the above quote for Chrome :D Synching bookmarks and passwords across different PCs and devices is the killer feature in Chrome for me. Plus, when there's a new version, all your installed addons/extensions don't break... |

| 1331764 | 2013-03-09 10:20:00 | I'm using Nightly rather than FF, so it gets changed every day - haven't lost an add-on yet; although I don't use many add-ons / extensions. Just enough to block ads, download Youtube, and an Aust dictionary for some reason. I use Chrome occasionally, never liked Opera much, and periodically try the variations on offer in Linux, but FF / Nightly suits just fine. Luckily, there are plenty of choices for people who want varieties or flavours away from the real thing. ;) |

| 1331766 | 2013-03-10 00:21:00 | FF does all that for me without Chromes ugliness Also, for example, in Firefox you can get an addon that gives back a full status bar and lets you put other buttons etc on it. You can't do that kind of thing in Chrome, as far as I know. |

I may have done something wrong I wasn't aware of but the fact I was able to, was enough to make me kill Chrome forever. :mad: |

| 1331769 | 2013-03-10 01:22:00 | Isn't that built in? Not sure, but starting with Firefox 4 they copied Chrome with the tiny floating status bar that only shows a URL and nothing else. An extension called Status-4-Evar quickly appeared to solve that problem, and I've been using it ever since. (addons.mozilla.org) They say: "That status bar was removed in Firefox 4.0. While some of the status bar items did find new homes, some did not, and you might not like where they ended up. Status-4-Evar aims to bring back (some of) the old status bar items, give you more control over the built-in Firefox features, and provide new alternatives." |
