You Are Probably Not Using Internet Explorer to Read This

[Deadlock Radium]

I have converted my entire family in to using Firefox. But still, 49.9% is A LOT of people.
Most people in my class use Internet Explorer because they can't be arsed to get a proper browser. Oh, and Microsoft probably pays our county council to make Classfronter here only compatible with Internet Explorer (And Firefox, but that's just because it's awesome).

love my Firefox cant stand Internet explorer.

Firefox ftw, I would use chrome, but it freezes for a second every few seconds, so it gets kinda annoying. Also i don't see how people prefer IE over firefox, there not that different (as in interface), get a fraction of the viruses, and I generally faster

For those who are still using IE, because you see no advantage in a new browser since you just surf the web with it:

I was on your boat seven years ago!

But then I started realizing how much slower my computer was getting, and hundreds of malicious code, spyware, and viruses were detected with every system scan. I finally listened to my my tech savvy friends and went with Firefox.

The only times I would even touch IE now, is when I'm updating Windows or if I'm on a public computer with only that installed. And still I grumble because of the unintuitive user interface layout, the fact that pages only load half the time at a 1/4th of the speed Firefox and Chrome would go, the fact that every thing opens in new windows instead of tabs and it crashes half the time, and the fact that the default search provider is Bing instead of Google. (Seriously Microsoft!)

You don't know what you're missing until you try it. I now don't know why I was so stubborn back in the day.

I'm using Firefox at the moment here, at home I use Chrome.
Also, this thread isn't nearly as scaring as the thread on a certain forum that said "remove your left hand from your left cheek and uncross your legs" when I was sitting exactly like that..

Rarely use IE, NEVER use Firefox anymore. Chrome is my #1 browser, sooo much faster.

 

[felixader]

I am using Firefox. I convinced my mother to use Firefox. Next are my father and my brother.

 

[Dectilon]

Using Opera myself, but it's not so much a preference as that I'm used to it.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Yeah... Internet Explorer is disgusting.
I've never used Chrome or Opera, but I'm not that big on Firefox... I'm a safari kid.
IE is by far the worst though.
...And again, I haven't even USED Chrome or Opera.
