Anyone who still thinks IE is an OK web browser after reading this is either a hacker themselves, or just plain stupid

That's why I use Chrome! And not IE...

But really... IE is a nice browser... but... the team working on it is insuficient! It's the biggest hole in the whole Windows OS!

and things like this constantly happen, and months after its release and people think they're using a safe browser, MS comes out saying "so yeah, there was this massive glitch, we knew about it but didn't bother telling anybody cause we don't wanna lose people using IE, and we would rather that their computer gets hacked than for them to use FF or Chrome or something"

My school has IE, fast but it stupidly says "IE has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience"when I want to play a game.

I prefer Chrome, btw... Sometime Firefox has some glitches, like... Instead of showing the webpage shows the code (the entire one! including CSS and PHP mixed with HTML), and sometimes it asks me if I want to download parts of this webside source xD...

Never had that, to be honest. I've stuck with Firefox atm because of the availability of addons, but I can see myself using Chrome sometime soon.

I must say that the mac FF is much smoother than the windows one. I've never had any of the typical problems with FF on the Mac, whereas i did encounter the occasional glitch on the windows. I never got the code thing, only times that would happen to me would be if i used IE (that makes it want to do code a lot!)

I have had the code thing happen to me on FF, but its very rare. And I only use it because it's faster than IE. Now I have another reason.

Firefox was primarly designed for UNIX systems... So, it's normal that it works best in a mac then on a windows pc...

I've had firefox for a few years, and nothing like that has ever happened to me. I haven't used Chrome before. To me there is just something about firefox I like...

It also depends on a lot of factors...

I used to think the earlier version of Firefox to be fast... But with Chrome or using FF in Ubuntu, you start thinking Firefox it's slow...

I've been using chrome a little bit. But the lack of good addons, and the fact that my userscripts aren't working in it's version of stylish are really pissing me off, and making me use it less.

Chrome, if you get better addons, I will go out with you!

i don't really care about the addons. Addons are the useless things that make your computer slower. Only addons I use would be the fact I can change the skin.

Anyways yes Firefox has good addons. Chrome has good speed. IE has good Fails. Safari has great first-page-takes-half-an-hour-to-loads.
