My Fault :P

Not really.... Ok yeah, it is :P Is FireFox that good? My school's computers have Safari, Goole Chrome, IE, and FoxFire (shame none really work. Then again, having all of those installed.........) So is FireFox good or......?

I personally love firefox. They have lots of add ons that come in handy. A lot of skins too. You can also get this one add on called Persona and make your own skin for it. ;)

Your own skin, that's unique for these.

 

But I like Opera for it's pop-up blocker and it's Speed Dial. I press and hold Ctrl + a number from 1 - 9, and I go straight to any site that the number is programmed. Number 1 is RMXPUnlimited :)

Did I also mention when it crashed and froze on me one time, I had to close it, and when I reopened it, a messege box appeared. It asked me if I wanted to "Continue where I was last", "Go to home page", or "Go to the Speed Dial"? So If it somehow crashes and if I wanted to save the site I was on last, or forgot what site it was, I can go back to where I was last. It only showed me that messege three times :P Nice little feature if you ask me :) If I have more then two tabs I can Tile then, which shrinks all of the Tab windows so I can look at both tabs at once (or more if there are more tabs. So I can watch two videos on youtube at once :P) There's even a search bar in Bookmarks (Favorites) so I can find any link I saved.

The question is.

What cant firefox do?

 

You can get an add-on called ad-block plus. It blocks every pop-up. and you can right click on an ad or banner and click block and bam it will be gone from view.

 

Also it has tabs. You can do lots with the tabs.

 

Video downloader. 1 click download for youtube and a whole bunch of sites.

Yes Firefox has a pop-up blocker built in from the start. Not sure if Firefox has the speed dial thing. But it does have a bookmark bar right below the address box. So I think it would be quicker to click the site there, then press buttons and have to remember which number is program to which site.

 

Also, Firefox will save where you last were to if it crashes. Also, when you close it, it asks if you wanna save what you have open for the next time or just close it without saving.

 

Also, as Sol said, the spell checker is a nice feature.

You can have a speed dial. I seen a add-on for it that adds it. Just like the iphone but for firefox. Theres an add-on for that.

Chrome has a dynamic pop up blocker, spell checker, takes up less visual room, runs faster than most of the other browsers, uses a redone java/flash engine and loads newgrounds for a person who has never been there before in less than 2 seconds on a decent connection. It also tells you when a page fails to load by saying "AW SNAP" :P

Interesting, I'll have to try Google Chrome on the school computers (when they aren't acting so slow that is....... That could be a while). This might be a stupid question, but why is there more then one Internet Browser? IE, Opera, FireFox, Google Chrome, AOL, am I missing any others? I'm just wondering why there's more then one.

One person trying to outdo another would simply be my guest. And by the way, AOL is IE ;) basically.

Other browsers include Safari and Netscape Navigator. The reason there are different web browsers is that each one renders a web page differently and how they read various HTML tags.

Here is what i think about the 4 standard ones

Opara = Fastest, and slim :4:

Firefox = Most customizable, No pop-ups :5:

IE = Plain old sucks, Virus getter, Pop-ups extreme. :0:

Google Chrome = Fast, good for video(Youtube), slim :4:

Opra: Dunno never tried

Firefox: good... but doesn't catch every popup- the add on "NoScript" has many uses here for blocking bad popups

IE: What pol said

Chrome/Iron: possibly the most well built browser I have ever used

Netscape: IE... for mac... last I checked (9 years ago)- offically no longer used March, 08

Safari: Never used

no, its not that it reads HTML differently, its that it renders CSS a bit differently between browsers.

 

As for me, as a web designer, its important for me to test my sites in all the top browsers, so I do have IE, FF, and Opera. IE jsut totally sucks, and always finds some way to f*ck up the CSS, but FF and Opera tend to have similar results. I do Use FF for my regular browsing though, just because I am happy with it. ALso, chrome sucks. apparently it steals your personal info, and its jsut like opera, so whoever uses chrome, get rid of it, and use Opera.

I use goggle chrome. Simple, fast and sleek. Also the incognito window is a godsend in case your girlfriend happens upon your browsing history.
