I don't want to use IE because it constantly has security holes, it's pathetically slow, eats up my resources like mad, lacks important features, such as tabbed browsing and a built in popup killer, and isn't any more compatable than Mozilla Firebird.
Being better than Netscape doesn't really take much.
And it really doesn't take a lot of work to upgrade your browser. It's a 6MB
download, followed by an unzip, and double clicking an icon. Whoopie. That's a lot of work. If you want a more detailed explanation of why you should switch from IE, read
thisI once used IE because I didn't really see much benefit in switching, as the only other browser I had used was Netscape, which was horribly buggy, and horribly slow. I switched because I had heard that Firebird (Phoenix at the time), was faster, and much less hassle than IE. I tried it out for a few days. On the 2nd day, I disabled IE, and made Firebird my default browser. When I lost my internet access from home, and had to use School computers to access the internet, I was forced to use IE again. I actually used up 6MBs of my 10MBs of personal space to use Firebird from school because I had grown to hate IE so much. It was slow, buggy, and didn't have a lot of features I had grown accustomed to using.
Firebird does EVERYTHING that IE does, but does it faster, and adds features to what IE does.
If you are coming here complaining about your browsing experience, and immediately saying that IE is better than anything else without trying the "else", then you are seriously ignorant. The simple remedy is to try new things.
PS: forgot to mention that unlike IE, Firebird is updated several times a week, and you are free to use
nightly binaries as you wish, to add more features, or to fix the occasional bug.
