ANYTHING over IE is better, but that doesn't mean it's the best out there.

I have used both FF and IE, Since 3.0 came out FF has went down the drain for me. I took it off my Gaming Pc all together but my laptop and 1 pc @ work still uses FF to see if it has gotten any better.

To make a long story short:I have 7 PCs between work and home. 1 Vista FF PC and 2 XP FF PCs, the rest uses IE8. Out of 6 PCs(3 Vista, 4Xp) the only FF installed PC that works worth a damn is the Vista PC that it was just installed on. Both XP FF PCs have major issuses with performance. The 2 IE8 XP Pcs run fine and have yet to have a problems with spyware or anything I have to clean off. All but one PCs had FF on it to start with, now I'm slowly winging them from it(I have an older guy that loves FF no matter what so I have to keep it on his PC) My PC @ home has always used IE and not once have I had a security issuse.

I was a big fan of FF before all these problems, but now I enjoy IE8 and untill something happens that changes my mind I will stick with IE.

I've tried Chrome, but I just missed the nice plugins FF has. Gmail checker, ADBlock, No Script and some other that rips video from websites are the best thing for me.

IE was nice, but I got sick of popups even when popup blocker was on.

True, but those things will never be incorporated into the browsers themselves.

If Chrome comes out with some plugins like the ones I use then I'll move back to it.

Chrome has had extensions for like 3 months now. You must use the beta Chrome with dev channel enabled.

I'm personally not a heavy add on user

Same here, I mean I use the handy ones, flash block, adblock, scriptblock and that's it really.

I'd like to see a greasemonkey be released though.

AdBlock Plus and NoScript are all thats needed for FF, anything else is either a luxury or unneeded.

You should know chrome can use most if not all of greasemonkey scripts natively

I had an awesome ... 4chan one before for multi voting in twitter, to make pedobear miley cyrus' number one fan. I'd like to change that about, and work with it. Multiple form submission must have some useful and funny uses.

so basically, from what I gather, greasemonkey lets you actually customize the way webpages look?

greasemonkey is a extension for firefox that enabled you to use userscripts.

Once Greasemonkey is installed you navigate userscripts.org and the giant green "Install" button brings up Greasemonkey prompts to install it. Then as long as the little monkey icon in the status bar isn't dimmed out the scripts are active.

Greasemonkey is generally more for changing functionality as well as appearance, whereas the Stylish extension usually deals with layouts and aesthetics. You can browse and install new styles from this site: http://userstyles.org/

Yup, it still crashes on my Gmail, on a new install of windows 7.

Also lack of developer support.

Lol sure ok. FF can litterally suck more ram than my computer has.

IE sucks up next to nothing and works perfectly fine. Really what is so bad about it?
