| 1174455 | 2011-02-02 01:34:00 | Does no-one use Mozilla Seamonkey thse days? I wouldn't be without it. Currently using IE 7 only because it's on g/f's PC where I'm holding out at the moment. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1174456 | 2011-02-02 01:59:00 | IE would be vastly improved for functionality if it was published on perforated paper. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1174457 | 2011-02-02 02:01:00 | I was a Firefox fan until Internet Explorer 9 beta came along and I decided to give it a go. I have been using IE 9 ever since with no problems. I am not in a hurry to go back to Firefox. After an extremely bad experience with a beta of IE7, I will never go beta with an M$ product again (unless in a virtual environment). Ended up having to rebuild the PC! |

Ended up having to rebuild the PC! Yes there is a risk with using beta versions but no problems with IE 9 yet. I used the beta (Release Candidate) version of Windows 7, no great problems. I currently have the beta version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed with no problems. Boy do I like living dangerously. |

| 1174459 | 2011-02-02 02:20:00 | Firefox is fast turning me off it. Problem after problem lately so I am seriously thinking of changing. The question is changing to what, that I don't know yet. |

| 1174460 | 2011-02-02 02:35:00 | I changed from FF to Chrome as FF seemed to become more and more bloated. No doubt Google track my every move with Chrome but that's something I'm willing to put up with at this stage. |

| 1174461 | 2011-02-02 02:54:00 | Apart from Firefox taking longer than it used to to Start up, it's still my perfered browser, it does everything i need it to do, and it's interface and tabbed browsing is perfect. I did use IE7 for a while when the only internet connected pc was my dads. But that was so i had a separate browser and favorites etc.. I haven't used IE7 in ages, but it was ok, not the best, but definitely not bad. IE8 on the otherhand, is bloddy awful! it is slow, pages take ages, opening new tabs is a pain. I could go on and on, but i would bore you. |

| 1174462 | 2011-02-02 02:57:00 | IE9 doesn't seem slow at all - far from it. Also I think I prefer to use a browser designed by the OS manufacturer (Win 7 64bit) than a third party software you have to tu tu with (i.e. plugins) to make work up to standard! Up to standard? Define please? I'm with The Hitcher, FF got too slow. It used to be insanely snappy back in the days of Phoenix, but no more :( |

| 1174463 | 2011-02-02 03:05:00 | I would say about 90% of users run a version of IE. :) you would be very wrong then! www.w3counter.com http://gs.statcounter.com/ www.w3schools.com www.zdnet.com |

| 1174464 | 2011-02-02 03:24:00 | Has Firefox fixed their memory leak problem? That made it not worth using for a while there. I had that a lot in XP, and ended up using Opera because of it, in Win7 I've had no issues at all, using it for 8 - 10 hours with up to 20 ish tabs open, it will generally use about 120MB - 150MB of RAM. And I copied the app data folders from XP to 7 too, so it wasn't a reinstall that fixed the problem. |
