Quote of the day- Using internet explorer

[CrazyKooK]

Browsing the Web these days with IE is akin to doing a brothel tour of Amsterdam without a condom -- expect what you will get.

Lol, that's a good quote. Does anyone use IE?

 

[CrazyKooK]

Moved from IE to firefox when it was first released. Moved from Firefox to Chrome as soon as it was released.

Chrome for now, and not looking back

Do you like Chrome better than FF I take it? I'm still on FF. I can't imagine a whole lot of people still use IE, except businesses.

I like Chrome a LOT better than Firefox. the difference between can be summed up in a few things:

Chrome is Faster
Better multitasking
More intuitive
Streamlined from all the unnecessary toolbars and junk
search in same box as url (love this by itself)
>google instant built in that so can go directly to website without the other 3 steps

Built based on the psyche of users. Example: when you have a ton of tabs to close at once you can click on the "X" repeatedly in the same spot without having to move over 1 cm each time.... I multitask like a God so this has saved me massive amounts of time

 

[ST]

Those sound like good improvements, I'll have to try it out cause I always have 10+ tabs open too.

 

[CrazyKooK]

Forgot to mention. If one tab fails in Chrome, it is independent so only that tab is lost, not the whole browser like in firefox... another huge plus for multitaskers. I used to overwhelm FF and this would happen constantly

I don't see that as not being able to trust Google. I have to say, I probably know more about Google than a lot of people that work there. I have been studying them for the last 8 years, another reason why this forum will be growing soon. You simply have to use it in an educated way like any other site/ service. And Google can't help what they have to track for the patriot act. I will say, they track 100's of points for each person on each one of your searches that you have no clue existed, partly to make a better product, partly to get better targeted ads.

But Google is not selling you info directly to advertisers, they are smarter than that... they will remain the middleman. Aside from that, there isn't much dubiousness they can or would do.

I think the key thing the Google chairman was saying is that you need to restrict your searches to legal things, be very careful with that. The man said it to us, he wasn't trying to hide it.

And thank you Google for incognito mode!

Chrome is certainly "snappier" than firefox. I run Linux..and it's about the only browser I use these days.

It always amazes me that people still use Internet Explorer.
