Internet Browser

[maansingh169]

i stopped using internet explorer a while back...and started using Mozilla's FireFox. I like this because i dont get adaware or spyware or any garbage that microsoft sends me.

lol

anyways...i have found that somesites, and emails that i get, ex. via eBay through hotmail, the links dont work, or i dont see the site the way it was intended.
are there browsers out there that are as protective as FireFox, but still allow me to acess the functions that i need....

thanks ahead of time

Some sites are only made for ie.

how does netscape and others measure up.....

As Baldrick says, some sites are specifically designed for IE only. Hence, they wont work well with other browsers including netscape, opera etc...

get the "view this page in IE" Extension for firefox

it lets you right click a page and you get the option to view the page using IE

very handy

lots of other cool extensions for firefox as well

i am sorry.....what i meant to say was.....is there anyother program out there that is similar to internet explorer, but safer......an browser that is compatiable with MOST of the sites and still less of risk to my computer...

[maansingh169]

Sifaga........thank you that is what i was looking for....

Firefox is pretty much compatible with all the sites I visit. Most more so than IE.

I quit using FF cuz I had problems with too many sites.I might try it again after reading about the view IE plugin.

I know how you feel. I have been thinkning switching back to IE but, there are many good features and downfalls in both of the programs.

firefox all the way; all the other ones almost anyways are just remakes of IE with new shit..except for opera i think..

I don't know which sites you guys visit that makes it such a large problem. I have found a few that look a bit strange, but haven't yet come across one that didn't work with FF.
