Well, if you just search for your own name by itself I bet you get a hit.

My name just returns my profile.

Yea came up with 18,500 for hewee.

Even at a site I don't remember posting in. Ok I remember now but guess I am not a member anymore but my name is not showing up right. I think they change the site name too. Who knows.

But they are not all me either.

Is firefox really that good? Ive heard about it from people but nothing sounds as good as what you guys are talking about. Im not to knowledgable on computers but I can get by. Ive always used IE but I am curious about firefox and am wondering how my experience would go ^_^.

You could always try it and see what you think.
I don't know anyone that has tried it and not preferred it to IE though.

I absolutely prefer using it to IE. I use it all the time, IE only ever opens when I check my e-mails. But I can soon change that.

I use both browsers at work, home and school. Have been doing so since Firefox came out.

I do not prefer one to the other. IE works just fine, Firefox works just fine. At home I tend to use IE just because my bookmarks are there. At work, I use Firefox with our regular Proxy Server settings so my browsing there is logged and secure...Then I use IE with different proxy settings to bypass the firewall (cuz i can! lol)

At school, its whichever icon I happen to click on first.

On a decent connection the differences between the two are really minor.

They have lots of architectural differences but to the end-user the experience is largely the same. Just IMO anyways.



(At this moment I am typing this response in Firefox, and have an IE window open at Google!)

Just Opera and Firefox have TABS!

And why does everybody like Firefox so much? Where are all the Opera users??!?



but I switched to Opera at 8.5 when it lost those evil ads
