Re: Say goodbye to IE (Internet Explorer)

A few years ago I also downloaded Firefox and, although it has advantages over IE, I also couldn't get along with it.

The older the system, the easier it is to hack into so, if you are thinking of change, try Maxthon. I ain't no IT geek by any means, but I can see the advantages of changing to a newer system.

For myself though, I'll be sticking with IE.

Ooh I've not heard of Maxthon, will have a look at it. Actually I've just downloaded Safari as somebody earlier said it was good. so am just familiarising myself with it. Its also meant to be fast.

Re: Say goodbye to IE (Internet Explorer)

Nice topic but i think that what browser one uses, like most things, is a personal choice. I have no problem with IE (am using 7) except for version 8 and that's probably just because i need to update my computer. lol

I try others on occasion but to date have always gone back to IE...

Re: Say goodbye to IE (Internet Explorer)

Well it seems like I have misled a few people on here and other places, (do I hear shouts of having a senior moment) I am on IE 8, although I dont know when, or how I downloaded it, there now seems to be a newer (IE 9)version but I will stick with the devil I know, rather than the devil I dont

Re: Say goodbye to IE (Internet Explorer)

I have been operating on Google Chrome for nearly Two years now and can honestly say that up to press it has never caused me an ounce of trouble, have previously tried Opera and Firefox when I decided to ditch IE but settled for Chrome in the end, it works perfectly well with my Widows Vista Home Premium edition.

I suppose at the end of the day Annie you always stick with the one you feel most comfortable with, nothing wrong with that if it's behaving itself!

Re: Say goodbye to IE (Internet Explorer)

I have just about hated IE for so many years.
Used different browsers and loved them much better.

Last year had a few problems. (shhh. . . quiet now. . . this is on the QT. I think it was actually my ISP. Got my self a virus while on the Microsoft web page. The guy from my ISP came to fix my cpu and told him what I thought and he told me that he wouldn't put it passed them).

I changed ISP's. Went with IE 8 and since I have not had problems.

Now watch! I shouldn't have said that
