I use Firefox 3, with AdBlock + and NoScript.

IE just has too many issues.  My website does not display properly in it for starters... I've put in JavaScript Code to try and solve this and it still doesn't display my page correctly.  Microsoft use some really weird HTML codings... especially with CSS.

Firefox however displays everything how I desire it, is faster, more user-friendly and due to add-ons, stops me getting Malware too.

It's just perfect.

There was a time when Firefox 2 annoyed me but that was due to Mozillas tinkering.  I stayed with 1.5 for ages.  Then I updated to 2 again and all was fine.  Now I'm using 3 and it's better than ever.  It's less memory resident too.

IE takes ages to load and isn't use friendly to me... I remember once when I was using another computer with IE on, there Refresh button was not easy to find... that was just silly!

The only time I ever use IE is for XP updates and not even they seem to working properly... oh and my brother uses IE when he visits sometimes, which is also very annoying, 'cause I have no protection from Malware with IE.

Safari was installed with iTunes the other day but it's yet to be looked at by me, so I don't know if I'll like it or not. LOL

Ugh, the amount of firefoxing makes me want to puke. I use Opera. Firefox only for porn, so it wouldn't stay in my recent urls. I had a lot of problems with it and the quicktime plug-in. And once they released 3. it was fixed, but now the scaling for pixelart makes it impossible for me to view most fo the images I look for. try and find some zoomed in images of old NES games or something like Monkey Island.

Also, Opera's no worse than FF, has a nicer tab function/interface and also has much less browser related worms about.

That's plenty big enough!

That's in Firefox.



Maybe a little small... but not that bad.  Why would you want a zoomed in version of pixel art anyway? LOL

It's also the same size in IE. Wink

I've never had a worm with Firefox. Wink

So you're a Firefox user for the most part, then.

Haha! Yeah, no, really, I do quite a lot of old school gaming art for programs such as AGS, if you haven't heard. www.bigbluecup.com It's an Adventura Game creator. Basically the most fascinating thing there is to create the graphics as they used to once. Same goes to Zelda-like RPGs. Also, I don't know, if you're assuming I'm viewing the images on Firefox too, because I'm not, so basically I don't see how the zooming would show there. Oh, and, I'd rather experience the bgs I'm working on on a big screen, after all, you don't play games on such a small window anyway.
