which web browser do you use?

[CutMeMick]

I use IE for some things and for others I use FireFox...

Sometimes I have both browsers open.

im now using google chrome but firefox sounds amazing lol now thats cool

[bleuken]

i love Firefox but when it is not available on a PC that's the only time when I am using other browsers. I like also the speed of Chrome but it still lack some elements that I can only find in FF.

Anyone else notice that youtube videos are a little herky jerky in Firefox?

Also I have notice that Firefox doesn't seem to get bogged down on some facebook pages like Internet Explorer does.

I'm using Windows 2000, don't know if that makes a difference.

I was a big IE user but just upgraded to IE8 and althpough it has some funky new features it is totally wank for some things.... so i'm using firefox alot more over the last week and liking some of the stuff it does

Might be. Then again, it might be that I don't want to piss away a couple hundred bucks into Bill Gates pocket unless I really need to.

I think Firefox is just a better browser for things like that, tbh. Often I be bogging on something with IE, so switch to firefox and it usually solves it.

How do you find 2000 for exploits, viruses?

haven't had one that I know of. I pay a lot of attention to things like antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc. And I tend to browse any questionable sites, especially porn sites, I don't touch em. And I usually wipe clean and reinstall every year or two. I Think Windows 2000Pro is pretty solid as O/S go. But it lacks some of the conveniences of Windows XP, particularly in the area of image management, videos, etc. And I can't run the newest versions of IE and messenger, but that doesn't worry me much. Windows 2000 is still supported at Windows Update with new security patches etc. Do you know of any such info on weaknesses of Win2000 that I should concern myself with ?

Thx

sorry CGM, I tried to respond to this post once with a long elaborate post, and hit a wrong button and lost it, so...got frustrated and never came back.

Short of it, no. Use to use 2000 and had a lot of vulnurability issues, so knew them then but not up to speed any more, and now use both XP and Vista, and still travel the same websites largely, with the same protection...and don't have any probs for the most part. You are likely safer then I am in where you go tho, so that could be a big diff.

I use Firefox and sometimes IE.

I'm becoming more computer literate than I used to be, and I'm wary of intruders. The old computer met a sorry end, so I'm much more careful with this one.
