IE7 vs Firefox vs Opera..........

[BriGuy]

I gave Safari a look. It needs a lot of work to be a contender, IMO.

I use Firefox (2.0.0.1) mostly cause I’m on a land line…so for me pages load up 10x’s faster with FF. Right now my connection speed is 44k but usually it’s 32-37k

Also with FF I can block images/flash bullshit/advertisements etc. Sometimes I use IE7 for certain sites it’s OK an improvement for sure it’s just slow for me. Now I’ve used IE7 in an office environment with a LAN or T1 line and it’s really sweet. Another thing, I don’t get anymore worms, viruses etc. using FF.

^ You need to do an update. Current version is 2.0.0.5.

^Funny thing just before I opened this folder I clicked the 'later' button on the FF update window.

If you have the later version let me ask you...is it buggy? Do you like it? Thanks

Opera has a button that switches images off or shows only the images that have been downloaded already. When I was on modem, I only got to see the images that I wanted to.

Another long-time Opera user here. I like it. It's speedy on dial-up.
