i'm using firefox and i like it better then ie but some sites i go to give me errors or weird text font like for example one of the site i normally go to with ie is console-news.org to see game release nfo's but when i view an nfo the text is screwed that i have to boost the text size 2-3 times big just to read it

 

another site i go to to get the latest cracked code breaker/gameshark discs cryptbreaker.tk the page is damn near blank

I'm having trouble viewing pages like Albnio Black Sheep and Newgrounds here. What's up with that? How do I fix it?

Fear those that are I.E. Optimized

That's odd...I can access ABS just fine.

Yeah, I can access it at home, but at school it just shows a bunch of path names.

you'll probably have to install flash - or install it for firefox anyway.

Since Flash installed on IE does not mean that every borowser will use it just as well. This is one of the reasons I stopped using Firefox and whatnot.

I use opera 7.52 i like it better than firefox or i use MYIE2 as a 2nd choice, if you press F12 you can block unwanted pop up as you want or block all, you have email integrate, good for me

Well, i"m still using Firebird - But it's way better than IE to me. Just one setback tho; I'm having trouble viewing some of the Flash-orientated sites with it (for those i still use IE)

I run Mozilla and love it. Of course Mozilla and Firefox aren't perfect (memory leaks and NAT issues), but the UI and security are exceptional. That isn't to say that IE is an incompetent browser either, a knowledgeable user can adjust security settings so that it is rather secure and it is a bit more stable. But without tabbed browsing and an integral download manager it's just lacking a bit in regards to usability. Opera has a very low memory footprint and good security but imperfect CSS support. It all boils down to a matter of personal preference.

Thats what I did with I.E. I tweaked everything.

 

To me, what i'm benifitting from FireFox is nothing compared to my optimized ie

firefox has integrated popup blocking. I even have an extention that makes user-initiated popups (ie separate download screens/flash windows etc) open in a new tab, rather than a new window. It's not 100% accurate, but it does a pretty decent job.
