A Faster Firefox 13

Did you kick your IE out the window??? .....

I'd kick mine off my pc if I could but I just dont use it anymore. It just barely works and its as slow as a 100 year old cow stuck in the mud!

I'll stick with Firefox

Opera is perhaps the best. Amazing speed. O!-9

A 100-year old cow in the mud is how a lot of Microsoft stuff works and apparently they think that's normal since it never improves. It's sometimes annoyingly slow on our windows 7 machines at work, plus general bugginess. This is why earlier I posed the question if it's always the browser’s fault or the OS? And why should they have to address the issue if it's the OS?

Microsoft is weighed down mightily with resource hoggish stuff running in the background all the time, not the least of which is "security" and virus software, plus constant communications with Microsoft servers and I would not be surprised a back door for even LE.

This is why when "green" people have hybrid cars, Microsoft still drives over-sized 8 cylinder Cadillacs using 12 gallons to the mile. And I hear they now need even a bigger car so-to-speak.

well. I updated my FF to the latest v today. it seems to work better.

so after all these criticisms IE could come third on the graph? without the criticisms IE is the best.

Well without criticisms any browser could come first. But the fact remains that although Microsoft have improved IE with v9, it still has many issues, both from a developer and end user perspective. Many other browsers are simply better.

 

[Classik]

Ok. IE is the champion. I use IE, Opera M and FF (also OM, QQ and UC browser for phone). Browsing from your phones is quite interesting. The phone versions are a lot better and faster.

 

[Classik]

And if you carefully study that graph you would notice the margin is big. So, IE is a hero.

You got that right. IE has so many issues I'd rather use any other browser

Nope. EPH6.16 wins.

My Firefox crashed often. Then I couldn't get it for quite awhile. suddenly it was back when i turn it one one morning recently for a few months. Now its crashed again and I have done everything I know to make it work. It keeps saying send crash report and I do multiple times. Help! I did get chrome to work, I'm using it now but don't like it as much. Sometimes they both crash, then I'm in a pickle. I run virus checks, ad aware,have real time browse alert, etc. its clean. What could be interfering? I reinstalled it even

I haven't really had that problem with firefox, but Chrome crashes all the time for me.

 

[Blev]

Why does chrome crash? There is a connection

And it's always asking me to kill pages. :gah

Firefox sometimes takes a while to open when I first start the computer. But apart from that, when it's running it's generally pretty quick.

 

[Blev]

There is one certain site I use that always needs pages killed. Firefox is vicious that way ​
