That's because Firefox is better !

Dude, I am so sick of you and your Firefox fanboys. Always going, "Firefox is better! Get Firefox! Firefox owns!" OTHER. PEOPLE. LIKE. OTHER. THINGS. I am tired of people bombarding me that Firefox is better. I already mentioned I had to use Firefox, so I must already have it. Quite frankly, if I thought it was better, I would have switched by now. Obviously, I haven't. Hmm? Maybe because I like Opera better?

Support for a single mailbox (I now have 2 gigs for Yahoo Mail, beats Google by a long shot, and no ads at all) does not equal to GREATNESS! Or being BETTER. On the contrary, it just shows how Google, although it believes in helping people (with its search and 1GB options, and possible POP forwarding support), will go to the length to use a differnet kind of encryption unsupported by a browser that is used by 3% of the browser population. I guess 3% isn't good enough to support that particular browser? When 95% of the browser world uses Firefox and Internet Explorer. Cheers for Google, much love I had for thy.

What percent of the population uses Firefox?

 

[Gogf]

No, its just more common.

Firefox is more common than something?

 

[Dell19]

Opera apparently...

 

[Gogf]

Opera apparently...

Oh, I thoguht it was just luck that it supported whatever language it's written in, as I presume they wrote it for IE.

 

[Dell19]

Yeah you are probably right, I was just stating the assumption that other posters seem to have made...

 

[stormbind]

I fail to see where the interest in browsers comes from

FireFox is nothing special. It's just the latest incarnation of the old Navigator/Mozilla familly without all the extras so it's much faster to startup. For example, there's no messenger, mail program, flash plugin, and so forth... you can add them, but then you're right back with bloated Mozilla.

MSIE is nothing special. The application is almost unchanged since IE4, with only a handful of tweaks and new security flaws.

Not a great deal has changed over the years.

This is getting rather pathetic...Gmail only works if I disble Ad Muncher. Which means I'll be seeing those text adverts. Hmm. Must be something they do that causes Ad Muncher to block it...

Thanks Marine!

I have a GMail account, thanks to my brother, mainly... No invites yet though.

As I said on the GMail Server Thread, those with invites may want to check out www.gmialswap.com if you haven't already. The people on that site are really, really strange, especially the offers...

www.gmialswap.com

nice link

 

[MarineCorps]

Um, strange does not quite describe those people.

 

[Gogf]

Yeah, they are odd.

BTW, what happened to the Arucard avatar I made you?

 

[MarineCorps]

I increased the size. Tis all.

 

[Gogf]

You also made it untransparent .

 

[Gogf]

I GOT ONE! I already sent it out though.

 

[MarineCorps]

You also made it untransparent .

Side affect of resizeing it.

 

[Gogf]

Here's a transparent one that size:

 

[MarineCorps]

Thanks .
