So what is going on hear. I know IE pounds in the chop but all browsers are a compromise. All you have to do is slow down. You can keep your big go fast browser but I will stick to IE, anyway it is cute. Also Robbin tells me it will be better next time.  |

I like my IE because of its simplicity, it can slog through the rough stuff at a slow speed when some of the other faster browsers head for home, and I can customise it to reflect my individuality and needs.
S N A P !!

Good thread, I don't know anything about Firefox or any of that techno stuff but I was drawn to the thread by the word "Avoid" and got a few chuckles out of it.........one thing I do know is you have to consider the dealer support aspect of things. I drove by the local Firefox dealership a few weeks ago and it was nothing but a store front in an industrial type strip mall. I don't see how you could rig, sell and service anything there...wheren't much more than a PO box

I use firefox all the time, don't know why its been givin me fits on C-Brats so much lately  I may do a test, and compare it to IE, to see if that helps. Maybe it ain't just this site. I got word there is a new firefox on the way...)
Many times I "head home" and come back later, just can't do much sometimes.  is it being a modem user, thats screwing up the performance. Don't know much about the internet, I'm really into more manly things like welding, wrenchin-on-crap, boating and snowmachinin   |

For those using IE for various reasons (stuck with it, prefer it, whatever) check out AvantBrowser at http://www.avantbrowser.com
No affilation, yada yada. Avant is a freeware tabbed browser, etc. Makes IE tolerable and then some.

Life's too short to surf with a tabless browser.

... and it was graduated to just that!
Have switched-back to IE as my "ship".
Still I can not navigate C-Brats with Firefox. Compared them side-by-side (and I was a big FF fan) I went back to "MSN" .... looks like for good!
Maybe when we go DSL; I'll find 'FF superior again 
'FF is good on my MSN site, but here, it hangs-up constantly for some reason. I was thinking the taxing of the "private server" here, is noticed by us modem users  |
