Agozer Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 When I worked at the State Treasury earlier this year, the basic mindset among IT people over there was that Firefox would clearly be the better alternative. However, the entire State Treasury uses IE exclusively, thanks to the many tailored, browser-based applications in use - applications that have been developed by third parties, and only work in IE.
Gryph Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Like fucking Netflix streaming. Watching stuff on Netflix is the only time I open IE.
ken_cinder Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Gryph, use the IE Tab add-on in Firefox for that. Sure, it's still the IE engine.....but at least you don't have to bother with IE itself.
Inky Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 good tip Cinder. I never thought of that either. I have to use IE for netflix, and like 3 out of 6 of my online bill paying sites.
Inky Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'm still using chrome for my main browser. firefox as crashing on me constantly right after the 3.0 update.
Weirdy Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'm using firefox 3.1 beta 2 works better than stable
gavin19 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'm still using chrome for my main browser. firefox as crashing on me constantly right after the 3.0 update. I'm using the latest Chromium builds here. I just gave up on FF. Chromium is much faster rendering pages even if it is still missing some features.
Inky Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I may need to start getting the beta builds. I dunno now chrome is hanging all the time.
