Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

Which one do you think is better?
Which one do you use?
Which one has the best features?
Which one has the best visual?
Which one has the best performance?

These are all things i want to know.

Personally i find that Firefox is simply classes above Internet Explorer, when you think about it, its more customizable, better visually, better performance for me and has many add ons.
Its simply no1.
However you do have your chance to disagree.
And we can simply agree to disagree.

Re: Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

I find Firefox to be a lot better than Internet Explorer, despite some small, minor bugs in FF3. I run Firefox 3 on Windows Vista. Firefox has the best features, and while it may be just a browser at first, it has a huge library of add-ons, with some popular stuff such as adblock which I love.

The best visual, I'd have to say IE mainly because it ties into Aero a lot better than Firefox does out of the box, but I do know that there is a theme/setting for Firefox out there that will make it take on the Aero glass effect that IE can do.

For performance, I'd say Firefox. Firefox 2 used to be slower, but Firefoc 3 for sure is much more improved from Firefox 2 at the rendering speeds. It didn't make a change from 2 to 3 on my gaming computer, but on my older machines, I could see a difference. Also, unlike IE which seems to like to choke over large animated GIF images, Firefox handles them without a problem and actually plays GIFs faster.

Re: Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

I'd go for Firefox. It's not I hate all IEs, I hate IE6. It's simply a night mare for web designers. IE7 and I suppose 8 too (haven't tested) works much nicer than IE6 so I kinda like it. But Firefox all the way for, since it's got more features, and it's more customizable.

Re: Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

Well from my POV I think firefox is better because of these reasons:

1. I.E doesn't work on some sites or either make the website sloppy from what the original source is.
2. Firefox is more efficient and faster than I.e because of all the toolbars that you can download to make life more easier.
3. From firefox 3.0 you can just type the name of the company or the title and you will get your website in the address bar in no time.

Re: Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

Part of me really likes actually being able to used tabbed browsing with out IE having a heart attack, so 1 point to firefox.

But IE never made the background of all my pages hot pink...so 1 point to IE.

IE also didn't try to remember every scrap of information ever typed in to it...so another point for IE.

BUT firefox is faster...so 1 point for firefox.

It's a tie.

Just remember you can always disable certain features like cacheing text input.

Also, how did it make your page's hot pink?

Re: Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

I think Firefox is better overall. Microsoft has gotten much better with IE 7 & 8, but they still don't follow a lot of HTML standards (messing up page displays), they are so integrated into the OS that they can make the whole system unstable if something goes wrong, they don't autosave data, and they don't have a lot of little features I'm used to, like simple drag and drop support. Plus, I love all the plugins the Firefox has, including IE tabs.
