Mozilla Or IE?

[Muncey]

Which one do you use/prefure?

I use mozilla, less popups, safer to use, it's just generally a better browser in my opinion.

can someone remove this topic please, i messed the poll up.

 

[PetrovLFC]

lool.

well i use firefox. Far better. Safer, customisable. Lots of useful extensions.

 

[Muncey]

Yeah i forgot to say that, i love the extensions and skins for it.

 

[Mart]

I added two more options to the poll for you.

Anything but IE, I use Opera 9.

 

[Grayperview]

i use opera, IE is an awful piece of software, anyone stupid enough to use IE deserves all the problems it will inevitably cause!

 

[Muncey]

Lol @ mozilla, firefox and mozilla firefox all being on there. I screwed up lol.

 

[RuneEdge]

Has anyone ever seen a more biased poll?

Opera 9, I know lots of people dont like it, but I do, not had any problems so far.

 

[miguel.]

Opera 9. Just love it.

 

[Wolf_Hook]

Oh ello, I thought this place was full of FireFox lovers. Glad to see others turning to Opera.

Opera is too cluttered looking at the top for my liking, it looks too top heavy and I loathe toolbars and other similar things taking up my browsing screen space, so Firefox for me, all the way.

Sorry.

 

[miguel.]

Actually, I hate Firefox. Don't know exactly why, but I can't use it. I've been using Opera for lots of months, after leaving Firefox, that I used for 1 or 2 months.

 

[JayM]

Firefox, with the right extensions, it is near perfect.

 

[PetrovLFC]

the best of all being footiefox!!!

?

 

[total]

Firefox. I'm using it since it came out and I can't use anything other.

 

[Wolf_Hook]

?

All Opera needs is a little customisation and it becomes the slickest browser there is.

I do wish they had extensions like Firefox though. I am not to fond of the widget system.

 

[Dar]

?

Clearly crap...

\\:o/

 

[Wolf_Hook]

I am not sure what skin that is but it does make Opera look very basic.

Sorry, off-topic I know, but what do you use to make your Windows start bar, title bars etc. have that metallic look to them?

 

[miguel.]

People use new skins/themes, icons and so on to make computers look better. There is one thread in this section where you can see some of the possibilities to mod your computer. Check this.

Here are some websites you can visit:

+ Deviantart
+ JoeJoe
+ Studio Twenty Eight
+ CrystalXP
+ AveDesk

Just to name a few.

I use Netscape 7.2. Its fast & reliable. Easy to customize as well.

When you first download Firefox, it comes with bookmarks, and one of the bookmarks is an RSS dropdown thingy ("BBC SPORT") that lets you see all of the sports news from the BBC website. It's one of the first things I check every day.

However, in the last few months it's really started to get on my tit - when there's football and rugby going on, you get two headlines in there that BOTH say "Live - Premiership", and at the moment there is more rugby news than football news on it. Someone must have just started working high-up at BBC SPORT who REALLY loves his rugby (note: I fucking hate rugby).

Is there anything similar that covers JUST football (not neccesarily covering foreign football but that would be a bonus, as well as lower league coverage which is the priority really being a Tranmere supporter)?

Go here and click the orange icon at the end of the address bar. Works for a lot of pages.

You can have seperate ones for your favourite teams too.

 

[Chris Davies]

You beautiful man. Thank you.

Sorry, off-topic I know, but what do you use to make your Windows start bar, title bars etc. have that metallic look to them?

It's the alternate XP theme. No downloading or major alterations needed to your OS for it to look like that. Just right click on the desktop, hit properties, then hit the "appearance" tab. Color Scheme drop down menu, silver.

That should do it. :thumbup:

Edit: Just realised you probably mean Mart's way, thats a different theme type setup. I just the Windows XP silver theme, looks similar and nicer than the usual blue and green stuff.

opera is king!

I use IE7, I have Firefox( Gran Paradiso) too but it's much slower and IE7 is much more minimalistic and not so ugly as def. firefox.
I don't have the best PC but FF(GP) opens sooooo slowly and IE7 opens very fastly.
Talking about popups, I have somekind of SpyBot popup blocker and it's just great, there aren't almost any popups popping up...
I once had Opera too but it screwed up lots of web pages...Opera took the page to one side and it looked like crap...
