Firefox Gaining, Internet Explorer Slipping

Reader Comments

I have used I.E., for years. I tried Foxfire for several months. Then I tried Opera. I have been using Opera for two weeks now and it is amazing. Blistering fast compared to either IE or Foxfire. I have run into a couple of support issues with other websites, generally flash player issues. But I much prefer Opera well above anything else I've used.

I am just surprised I dont hear that much talk about it.

Firefox's safer, lighter, you can add functionality the way you want it with a wide variety of add-ons, change it's appearance with many different themes. In short you can make it feel "you own" in so many ways and have it suit your needs very easily.

All that comes at zero cost. What more can one want?

I've been using Firefox for 4.5 years and the only decent alternative I have seen is Opera, which deserves way more than the < 1% share it has. Opera is a bit faster but Firefox is still the most customizable browser out there, which is why I've stuck with it.

I use Firefox and Ubuntu because it's free, works well, and support is free, what else could you want ?

I use FireFox and Thunderbird mail, it's great stuff, no crashes, is always being fine tuned and free, Mozzilla is superior software

It's a great tribute to Fire fox. Ever since its inception, I've been a regular user and found its security feature admirable.
