Sponsor |  PinGUY | Apr 26, 10:10am | I am a big fan of firefox but the only reason I am is because of the add-ons, if opera could do the same I would use that.
IE7 tried doing add-ons but there big problem was they charged money for the good ones.
Firefox is a good browser but would be nothing without the add-ons and themes. |

|  ben76213 | Apr 27, 5:15am | | I am certain that I would use Firefox even though it wasn't any addons for it. I had a huge problem with Internet Explorer 7 since it repeatedly kept getting stuck no matter what page you entered. It was so annoying, thankfully Firefox rarely gets stuck. And it restores the pages if it does. ;) |

It is a little well too complicated to note that the Cascading Style Sheet compability has improved and that their security claims to be higher. Firefox has saved me a couple of times from spoofs with malicious content and hacking sites.
Look at Internet Explorer ActiveX. One click and you are able to download a whole lot of viruses. As well, MicroSoft have as usual not put their bugs report. At least Firefox shows that they are fixing them. |

Opera and Safari are excellent in my book
Firefox needs to catch up, but it's a hell lot better than IE. Yes, Firefox wins because of the addons.

| | ben76213 | Apr 27, 10:23am | | Yeah. I tried that test on both Opera and Firefox. Opera did not complete it, it just got stuck. Firefox went to 50 then it just stopped. It did not froze. I looked at the comparison and it wasn't similar. I don't get it. If you can already load the picture, why put in a test that is a lot harder to generate picture? |
