Title: which browser are you using?
Post by: spitfiremkv on January 02, 2005, 11:38:09 PM: I recently switched to Netscape 7.2 and it seems to be working a lot better than IE. It catches all-and only unwanted popups.
IE not only doesn't do that too well, but keeps crashing all the time.

yup,

What sandman said. Although the plugins don't allways work the same as they do for IE in my case it's pretty good. When ever I'm surfing for something that I know is gonna give me a virus (porn, cracks, warez ect) I use firefox

The only two problem sites are Trend's house call and AH's stat's page. For these two I still use IE. Strangely AH's score page works fine with firefox; it's just the stats page that doesn't.

Title: which browser are you using?
Post by: AKS\/\/ulfe on January 03, 2005, 01:07:35 PM: Internot Exploder and Nutscrape have all of their vulnerabilities mapped out because they have been the two most popular browsers for the past 10+ years.

That's why anything else is better.

I gave up on Netscape back on version 3 for the Mac (I think, maybe it was 2). Damn thing had a cache problem that could grow like a cancer and start wiping real data.

I never looked back.
