Firefox and XP, although I hung on to Netscape for a couple months after it was no longer supported last year.
(As recently as spring 2007 I was on the web with a P200 computer running Win98SE and Netscape 4.79) OT: Huzzah, this is my 100th post here! |

I am glad that Firefox seems to be getting some traction. Unfortunately Internet Explorer users will have less of a good time on my new project. Nuclear strikes take like 25 times longer to display and are visually crooked, due to the fact that Microsoft insists on using their graphics rendering engine rather than the one Google provides.
Example below.  See how the circles are not centered and crooked in IE. I suppose that it could be considered to be random effects, but the fact that IE takes 7-8 seconds to less accurately render 25 nuclear strikes while Firefox does it perfectly in less than half a second is just really annoying. IMO anyone who uses Google maps regularly on IE should consider trying out Firefox. Personally I had no idea that there was such a difference in rendering speed when displaying complicated routes and traffic or such. Last edited by kato13; 06-16-2009 at 02:17 PM. |

I use Opera at home and IE at work.
I'd seriously consider ditching anything to do with Microstuffed if I could.

IE at home and Firefox at work. In both cases with XP. Most probably I will end using Firefox at home, too.

AOL uses IE and some of it's own. Essentially you can't run AOL if you remove IE. But if IE isn't working, chances are AOL is.
I know this because I use AOL and/or IE at home, and IE at work. XP for both places. I tried Firefox but too many sites that I visited didn't support or display correctly with Firefox. So I junked that browser. What's the point of getting a browser that you can't see half the sites you visit? |
