Re: Say no to Internet Explorer 6

Some Major corporations cannot do the upgrade because IE7 hasn't passed gov't CFR section 11 testing. Any FDA regulated facility is Shit out of luck because if any of your companies systems are web based they have only cleared IE6 for use on some of those programs.

Most companies won't use IE7 for at least 6-12 more months, especially most under government contract or regulated by the FDA.


At home I use Firefox and IE7, mostly Firefox, but at work I am stuck with IE6.

We just received FDA approval to switch to MS office 2003. All the security testing just was validated 3 months ago.

Just like edtior-in-chief Henning, I use both Firefox and Safari on my new 2007 Apple iMac. (and occasionally Netscape's Navigator, although it's support is on the way out)

I began using Safari since February, and had some problems, which were solved with the new upgrade...I don't like Firefox that much, but it doesn't give me headaches as IE...which I updated to 7, but still, more prone to getting infected.

Firefox is the best browser in the world, bar none.

I'd like to thank Tim for putting me on to the Avant browser:

http://www.avantbrowser.com/

Avant is built on the IE7 base, but it's faster, faster by far than Firefox or IE7 or even Opera, all of which seem clunky by comparison. What's more, it's easier to customize and streamline than any other browser. I mean, it comes with something like two dozen different skins, and it's got more add-ons and blockers and such than you can count. Finally, it's free and without advertising. So far, in almost two years of use, it's never given me a problem.

I have five browsers on my desktop: Avant, IE7, Firefox 2, Opera, and an old edition of Netscape (Eddie, I kid you not). I almost never use anything but the Avant.

Let me give you a hint. It doesn't cure a hangover.

Well,

I use both Firefox and IE7. They both work pretty well, however I tend to stick with Firefox for personal viewing, not to mention some of the really cool online games (ogame - http://www.ogame.org) have a number of plugins available only to firefox users. From a work standpoint, many of the web applications that I work with use ActiveX controls which of course are Microsoft's IP..so I'm kind of forced to continue using it..but its certainly better then it used to be.

Anyways

The only problem I run into with Firefox is that Netflix Instant View only works in IE. So I have both, Firefox being the preferred browser. Multiple tabs open without opening new windows, no ads, fully customizable...that's what I'm talking about.
