| 641316 | 2008-02-18 00:09:00 | Hi, Which web browser is the best IE 7 or Mozilla Firefox? Mostly I am concern security wise. But also want to know other advantages and disadvantages. Thanks, |

It has almost unlimited potential with add-ons, you can install ad-blocking software, script blocking and editing tools, different skins, the list goes on and on. Firefox uses slightly more system resources...but with most PCs these days it's inconsequential. I find FF faster than IE. |

| 641318 | 2008-02-18 00:13:00 | Most people would say firefox, but IE 7 is ok for some people. IE 7 also uses addons / plugins, but some arent free, most of firefox's are. Depends if youre paranoid about using IE 7 or not. I find Firefox, is a bit of a memory hog. And some sites dont work properly with FF either. They look crap. Just dont use P2P programs, or download / install malware. Things might last longer. Its not the browser/s that are the security risk, its the person who doesnt know what theyre installing most of the time. |

| 641320 | 2008-02-18 01:16:00 | I use both. IE 7 is my default browser. As Speedy said some sites don't work properly with FF and the same with IE7, so if I have a problem with one browser at a paticular site I switch over to the other. If you go to a site to view pictures I find that FF loads them alot slower than IE7, so take your pick or like me run both. :) |

| 641324 | 2008-02-18 02:22:00 | A foot in both camps for me (well. . .professionally at least!) - majority of my users are on Server 2003 via Terminal Services, and as far as I know, FF won't run that way. The majority of our thick client users are going to FF tho ;) Personally, the only time I use IE7 is for Windows updates. Having said all that, IE7 is better than 6. A little OTT with it's security settings, but not too bad. :) |
