You gain a new appreciation for people who can browse in Windows Explorer and not mess anything up after you've done a little tech support.

You are greatly underestimating the stupidity of a common computer user, it seems...

I don't have to be honest about myself, you can already tell I'm a wanker.

I guess the people who haven't switched yet never will. All the IE problems are known for years. Even those who don't have a clue about computers and software know that IE is insecure and completely out of date.

Yes, for the one tenth of people who are honest about being wankers

See? It's for wankers.

Anyway, here's another great collection of Firefox extensions.

Therefore it's named to Maxthon now.

Hehehehehe! Anything with 'My' in the name can only suck badly I mean... has there ever been a lamer naming trend?

You know what? I am using maxithon /MYIE2. The only reason i use it and rarely use Firefox is that Firefox does not have groups. And MYIE 2 also has alot more options.
I have had problems though. Active X based spyware and scumware have exploited MYIE 2's holes. it uses iExplore. So when Firefox gets a bit more exciting, I'll totally switch.

That applies to me. I like ie really.

An expectation you never have to meet.

This all isn't even far from the truth. It's a well-known fact that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the only browser in common usage which is still based on NCSA Mosaic. That means the codebase will be 11 years old next month...

Indeed!

OK, make it 6.5 years then

Not that the WWW existed 20 years ago...

5 years ago? Make that 20!

Why would you want to make Firefox look any differant anyway!

IE has a use - it allows stupid people who have just bought their first pc to access the internet in a simple manner without thinking. And it allows lazy people with a brain to access the internet in a simple manner without thinking, but depriving them of features that should have been standard 5 years ago.

Good point - 'Internet Explorer' is completely impossible to configure, and Mozilla way easier.

It's funny, I was discussing browsers the other day and this guy says to me "Mozilla is for people that don't know how to set up Internet Explorer"

The whole human life is a big irony, so don't worry about it too much
