Do you use Internet Explorer 7 ??

I think anyone that does this type of work regularly uses Firefox as their personal browser. I use it when I want to really get things done due to the add-ons etc. But I have to admit that I use IE7 95% of the time BECAUSE of the issues. I have had too many occassions as a designer that things went well in Firefox and when I visited IE it was all crazy.

I host about 30 sites currently and I can tell you from my stats that IE is still 85%+ of all of the browsers being used by the visitors. Use it more heavily and you will know what your users know.

Then when you take time away from working, popup Firefox to surf the net!

 

No way. IE7 is still not good for me and is incredibily slow for adding new tabs. Firefox is the best browser for me, it is fast, stable & displays 99% of web pages correctly. In-fact, if you design a page in Firefox, it is more likely to display more correctly in IE7 than vice versa.

 

No , i don't use it

 

The only time I had problem with their customer support was canceling my service....of course.

As I said their service is pretty good.....their software is crap.

 

Which is, of course, how things are. They're fine until you want to do something inconvenient, such as remove their spyware or cancel their service.

 

I find comments from an illiterate quite funny. Oh yeah show me how you can create keylogger using javascript. Proof of concept is enough. What you're doing is simply turning off javascripts blindly, and worse you don't even see the what's inside <noscript></noscript>. I wonder why these poor souls have to create compatibility issues by their own.

I use Firefox 2 here all the time. But I'm against turning off javascripts just for sake of being paranoid. All browsers doesn't allow javascript to delete files, record system-wide keystrokes or do any harm to your computer. Simply there is not a single function in javascript lib that does those things. IE has an exception when you view web page saved locally in your computer. Scripts executing in Local Zone or Trusted Zone is extremely dangerous for IE.

 

i have no issues i use firefox most of the time

 

I use IE based MyIE2. It usability is very strong and simply the best, exclude its processing speed of course.

 

like so many here, I too use both browsers

 

I have IE 7 but I don't use it by choice, rather only for the same reason as alot of other people and thats for testing designs. Designing would be so much easier if we didn't have to cater to such a large group who happen to use IE.

 

i use it only when i built a webpage

 

I used to have IE7 & Vista but now I have switched to FireFox.

 

Tell me one software company that does not do that. Apple and Microsoft are notorious for this.

 

Ive always been a big fan of IE, so of course I use IE7 =P

 

Most software companies don't do that. Since when did Firefox dig in and not uninstall, since when did Unreal Tournament not uninstall when asked? Since when did iTunes not uninstall? I must admit, Microsoft are very bad for this, but it's the exception rather than the norm.

 

I second that opinion. totally....

 

I have IE but i only use it to check my websites. I dont know how microsoft have totally owned the web browser market when they have a crap product. I recommend using firefox for sure.

 

i use firefox its amazing, but ocassionaly i will use ie7 to chek what other sites look like on difrent browsers

 

Only FireFox and sometimes using IE when I need to test browser compatibility for my design works.

 

IE is history, better use FF
