I was bitching about MSN IE a couple of weeks ago...slowness, popups, etc. I thought it was my laptop. So my son hears me and tells me to try Firefox. Well, I've been using IE since introduced, so I was skeptical that anyone could make a browser better than MS.
So I loaded up Firefox and been running it for a couple of weeks now. I'm convinced, it is much better than IE.
I think the problem with IE is number of users accessing the net. When my kids are playing online games and the wife net shopping and me browsing on a DSL, IE is just plain slow. 5 pc's all connected via wireless at the same time.
Now with the same users and circumstances and me using Firefox, my laptop web browsing is quick. I't been a few weeks and not one bit of slowness or problem. And yes, 3 of the other PC's are running IE and the kids are always bitching about slowness.
What's going here? Is FF just designed/programmed better?
