Do you still use Internet Explorer or have you switched to Mozilla?
I till now prefer using IE. Its preety good and faster. What i experience with Mosilla is that pages load a bit slower in it.

Any points that you noticed. I only use mozilla to test my developed sites.

It's actually the other way round not only based on my experience but also from many other users as well. Firefox is definitely way way faster compared to IE. Firefox is also more stable and usually very rare to find it crash. Ever since I started using Firefox, I've never touch on IE until today.

I prefer not to use IE especially IE7 as it has too many errors on it. Like the certificates thing and etc. So I prefer using mozilla as my main browser. About you guys?

Yes. I still use IE until today. Its fast because i'm use version 6. I'm still not update it. But i believe its also depend on your PC optimizing and your RAM. If not, your browser will not fast..

Yes. I need to agree that mozilla is fast if you know how to make it fast. If not, its late than IE.

yeah its late than IE if you really dont know how to make it fast. The only way to make it fast I guess is not to download themes for it and just let it stay at its default so it would really be fast.

You really don't know how to make it fast? So, learn about that first. Its easy. But if you don't like IE, just use mozilla or opera. Both browser is fast today.

Internet Explorer is also vulnerable to security issues and also full with bugs that's why it is causing IE to crash very often. Some of it is also related to design flaw and I heard there are issues with the Java plugin as well.

Yes i agree totally that. IE does have problems with design and java. I preffer using Mozilla for designing but for surfing i use IE.

Actually IE works faster on net for me compared to mozilla. May be i man not be knowing how to make Mozilla faster as people said above.

Any tips over that wih you would like to share. I mean how about to make pages load faster in Mozilla?

Geee...I can't think of a way to make browsers perform faster. I only method I always use when I'm totally fed up with slow connection speed is to totally turn off the image loading by browser. I don't get to see any image, just the content, but at least the browser doesn't always show "waiting to load..."

Ha ha ha!

Hwang its of no use making it faster that way.

In that case better to go for some other net providers if that is too frequent.

By the way does having a good processer and good amount of ram help in any way towards the internat surfing and its speed.

With applications it does but internet speeds

You can try to use opera or mozilla. Thats the best after IE today. Its fast and if you don't believe. You can try it..

I think having a good processor helps as well but I'm not sure how effective can this be. Sometimes it's just too frustrating waiting for the page to forever load. It can be really bad sometimes over here. For the moment, I'll stick to Firefox.
