Caiyuo said: I think in general for the security problems that ail most users, firefox has a lot of security woes covered because of the whitelist approach to security that Noscript, Flashblock and Ad-Block use. Don't use Flashblock (have to check that out) but Noscript and Adblock Plus keep me buttoned down quiet nicely...at least as far as I can tell. No issues yet lol Dasva said: Naw I still use IE and it works fine... I haven't seen the blue screen of death um in like a decade. You're lucky, I used to get stupid bugs and BSODs with IE all the damn time, not to mention just locking up requiring the process to be killed. After using Firefox, I don't know why I even used the ***TBH

98 S.E. was great though...and remember XP when it first came out? What a piece of ***lol (although nothing, NOTHING, tops M.E., yes, I actually used M.E., and have since blocked it out)
If only Microsoft would release the OS's actually WORKING right off the bat, they'd eliminate so much of their negative press lol

I use Safari on Ipod of course, but it's strange and foreign to me, and only use it at work lol.
I used to use a browser on linux called (I think.. )Konquerer. No images, pretty bland but the fastest web page search and loads possible.
Point is, there's MYRIADS of things to use out there, I have no clue why Internet Explorer is used (outside of the whole.. monopolization preloaded on windows thinggg). Yeah, given that browser video, I don't really expect people to go hunting for a better browser if they don't understand what it is in essence. lol Chrome is Google, though! It's pretty sleek and sexy, just the fact that it's Google means you'll have to make some internet-ly compromises. Because it's Open-source there's an ad-free version called Iron Browser, but ..mreh.

XD The only reason all the Linux distros and Mac even stand a chance is because Windows gives away such a ginormous number of unsatisfied people to capitalize upon. lol Really the same can be said for Firefox and IE. The whole "don't fix it if it ain't broke" addage applies pretty well, because people probably wouldn't give a ***about a new broswer if IE didn't suck so *** hard. lol IE6 fo'tehwin!

I want to try Windows 7 (and may install it on my slave drive on my media center just to give it a whirl) but after just buying Vista 64 like 2 months before the free Windows 7 trial was announced, I wanna kick Microsoft in the nuts right now lol

I reeeeally wanna give it a whirl, but my laptop is too tiny atm. Must build something new! lol On Vista, I've had it on my media center for about 6 months now and have really enjoyed it. Some small annoyances, but otherwise it's pretty kind to me.

Yeah, I really wanna try it out and play with it, but I'm afraid...afraid I'll love it and have to shell out another $200 to Microsoft when they take that free trial away and I have to pay for it. >.< And yeah, one thing's for sure, setting up the streaming media functionality between Vista and my 360 was so much *** easier then on XP...I never did get it working quite right on XP, honestly. My brother got his MAC to stream to the 360 easier then I did, how *** up is that? LOL

I didn't even *** with the built-in utilities because WMP constantly bitched and fought with me with media sharing on XP as well as Vista. Went with Tversity and never looked back, which also transcodes media types that the 360 doesn't normally allow. Anime with subs, oh laaaawdy. lol Side note: if you've never tried it, tune into FF radio, they play some hot ***. lol http://rgonots-sylph.net/radio/playing.html
