I finally got Mozilla Firefox. And Microsoft Antispyware Beta, the combination of which has made me a very happy girl. :D

For those of you still using IE, get Firefox.

Stop forcing your strange belief system on us. Next thing you know people will be telling us to use Linux, or heaven forbid a Mac.

Here's a link to the anti-spyware software if anyone would like to try it. Catches a bunch of things that Adaware and Spybot S&D miss.

Good on you, Gaeltach - Firefox is God.

Unfortunately, God does not run on my Operating System. Grr. So I am stuck with Internet Exploder 5.1, which is a horrid horrid thing. It's actually the best that'll run!

The only people who own a mac are the tragically trendy and peadophiles.

Paedophile.
A pedophile would be someone who has a foot fetish...


And yes, FireFox is awesome.

Heck: don't make it too complex for people - a couple of years ago an angry mob in South Wales tried to drive someone out of their village for being a 'paediatrician':

Opera pwns Firefox, even though Firefox is infinitely better than IE.

And I just used "pwns" in a sentence. Excuse my while I go cleanse myself.

What made the whole case funnier was that the previous issue of Private Eye featured a cartoon talking the piss out of the hysteria with the same theme.

I wonder if it is the 'net.

have you been watching Nathan Barley? It's a bit light and soapy to be classic Chris Morris, but it's quite funny, and reminds me of low-grade noo meeja types i used to know

Was that before the Brass Eye was made/aired?

Honestly I cannot remember, just remember Private Eye taking the 'credit' (not the right word) for the idea.

No, you CAN pay for it, you're not obliged to. There's a difference.

Opera owns all!

Get rid of the Anti Spyware thing quick, and get something not made by Microsuck...er, Microsoft.

I recommend Spybot or AdAware.

Anyone use Opera? I have it installed but I don't use it. I just wondered if anyone liked it. I am stuck on IE although I have been experiencing problems with it. I may change to firefox - I see most of you have good things to say about it.

I have both. I hate Microsoft too, but it's better than Adaware AND Spybot.

With the right add-ons and extensions, Firefox owns. For example, the mouse gestures make page navigation easy, I have up-to-date weather forecasts and news at the bottom of this window, a music player in Firefox itself, and the ability to access symbols like Ö, œ, Ę, Æ, and β from a simple right-mouse click.

Firefox, in a word, owns.

WOW!!! I can see why you like Firefox.
Thanks for the information - I will probably switch soon because I can sum IE up by just saying - it sucks. I have never experienced so many - Internet Explorer Not Responding - in all the time I've been on the net, as I have in the last two months. It's rather aggravating.
