I've often wondered that myself. It looks like an angry red sea dragon.


I used firefox forever, recently got a new hard drive and have just been using IE since then, not really having any problems, it's much more secure now and I don't see any speed problems.

Same here. I've used Firefox for several years, however I downloaded the latest IE not that long ago, and am preferring it to Mozilla these days.

I use IE, but I don't find it slow. That's probably because the line that I'm on goes to like 4 or 5 houses max, and we all definately don't use it at the same time. That's the perks of rural living. :P

I have always used IE, and am fine with it. No speed problems at all, no glitches. Though I have never used Firefox, I've heard alot of great things.

I use to use Firefox and it was amazing but I must have downloaded some weird ass porn because my Firefox is dead and I cannot install any programs on my computer. I'm stuck using IE until I save up for a laptop.

so i've tried a lot of different internet apps it seems like firefox owns all. most of them are pretty much the same but overall firefox was slightly faster than any of the other apps i've tried. you could notice when you're browsing through a site with a lot of pictures or just watching internet videos like youtube.

It depends on what you mean. YES, it's the best for me, I've never had problems (like with Opera) and I've using it for a very long time.

i use firefox ive never used opera but i think firefox is the best.

some pages are ie-only so use ie tab.. btw does opera support browser themes, and extensions? as well as simple drag and drop stuff like u just drag the link from the url bar into the empty bar below it and it will be like a bookmark right there and stuff and its great :mrgreen:

I have always heard about this glitch yet I have had bookmarks for over a year and I use it exclusively everyday. Ah well, maybe I am just lucky ("Hey, 10 bucks!!").

Yea, I've never had my bookmarks deleted either and I've been running firefox for a while now.

Maybe you should reformat your computer?

Opera was by far the fastest web browser I've used. I just didn't like it because it wasn't completely free.

I'm using the new Beta of Internet Explorer. I like it much more than the old version of IE. I still use Firefox occasionally.

Opera, it's fast and pretty bugless. I've tried both, IE and FireFox besides, but Opera's enviroment is nicest and cleanest.
