It’s simply awesome :)

Reply

VISHAL April 7, 2010 at 5:01 pm

I like Google Chrome sometimes :) but the preference is for Firefox only

Reply

Simran April 8, 2010 at 7:54 am

Sometimes in my college I use Google Chrome as it starts faster than Fiefox but Firefox is still the first preference

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 10, 2010 at 10:00 pm

Why do you prefer firefox over chrome?

Reply

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 5:52 pm

Becoz of lot of awesome and useful add on , themes and lot more stuff

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 3:23 am

well.. you have a point with that.. chrome does have themes too… but no add-ons, parental controls, spell check.. etc..

Dany April 7, 2010 at 10:18 pm

yup i too love firefox

Reply

VISHAL April 9, 2010 at 9:59 am

Me too love firefox :)

Reply

Dany April 7, 2010 at 10:18 pm

Firefox rocks coz of all additional addons and its speed

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 8, 2010 at 1:45 am

Yup, I like firefox more than Chrome… but I’m still using Internet Explorer now (my friend’s pc)

Reply

Dany April 8, 2010 at 9:52 pm

lol IE sucks ..hope Microsoft look at tht too

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 9, 2010 at 4:56 am

haha.. it does… and I changed my mind.. I like Chrome more than firefox now :)

Reply

VISHAL April 9, 2010 at 10:00 am

Yeah IE really sucks

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 10, 2010 at 7:18 pm

If MS perfects its internet explorer then there won’t be any need to install browsers :) Nice!

Reply

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 5:53 pm

But now a days they got tough competition so now I don think so MS Browsers will be on No 1 again

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 4:51 pm

perhaps… but I think MS still has a chance at coming up with the best IE if they would just focus on it.. after all, if they were able to make the OS,they can also make the best browser compatible to it.

VISHAL April 9, 2010 at 9:59 am

I agree with you danny

Reply

Dany April 7, 2010 at 10:19 pm

google chrome is faster but will become slow with addition of lot of extentions i think.. so Firefox stands out

Reply

VISHAL April 9, 2010 at 10:00 am

I don think so chrome become slow coz of add ons

Reply

Dany April 10, 2010 at 7:48 pm

y do u think so dude?

Reply

VISHAL April 11, 2010 at 12:17 am

coz chrome doesn’t get slow coz of addons dude

Reply

Ellen Joy April 14, 2010 at 11:10 pm

@Dany Just be careful of the add-ons you install

Nolan April 8, 2010 at 12:41 am

My preference is still Internet Explorer (although it seems to rate the slowest — which I tend to agree). Mozilla is a good backup but you REALLLLLLLLLY have to watch what add-ons you put on because some of them can wipe your browsers altogether.

Reply

Simran April 8, 2010 at 7:55 am

Hey Nolan any particular reason why you still using IE ?

Reply

Dany April 8, 2010 at 9:53 pm

only we choose addons if anything goes wrong its by our mistake.. thts y firefox rocks :)

Reply

Ellen Joy April 14, 2010 at 11:08 pm

Yeah.. if the add-on slows down your pc, then simply delete or uninstall it

Reply

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Agree with you Ellen.. I do the same in case i though some add on is slowin my browser

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 3:28 am

same principle applies with computer applications.. if it slows down your pc, get rid of it and look for an alternative :)

VISHAL April 8, 2010 at 10:37 am

@ Dany

Even I love firfox but dude no way that google chrome is slower

Reply

VISHAL April 8, 2010 at 10:38 am

@ Ellen

So your friend don’t like firefox or wat ?? why (s)he is using slower IE ;-)

Reply

Dany April 8, 2010 at 9:53 pm

me 2 want to knw tht ..

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 9, 2010 at 4:59 am

Actually, she’s not really doing much with this comp so she didn’t bother downloading firefox… (that is also the reason why she lent it to me for the meantime :) )

I changed her browser to Chrome now :) and it’s fast :) I love it!

Reply

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 5:56 pm

Ohh..finally she got some change in her machine… BDW chrome is really better than IE :)

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 3:25 am

:) Yup! I followed the advice here :)

Reply

VISHAL April 8, 2010 at 10:39 am

@ Nolan

Can you tell us the specific reason for loving IE so much :)

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 10, 2010 at 7:19 pm

Yeah, I want to know why too… coz I hate it.

Reply

Dany April 10, 2010 at 7:49 pm

lol IE looks lik a primitive browser..i too wanna knw d reason

Reply

Ellen Joy April 14, 2010 at 11:07 pm

I’m using opera now (I’m in an internet cafe) and it’s also faster than IE

Reply

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 5:57 pm

Ohh you again switched to another browser ..good

I used Opera sometimes back ..I like it’s graphics

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 3:27 am

No vishal, opera is just used in that internet cafe where I rented a pc when my comp was taken to the repair shop.. I just used it at that time.. but it’s slower than chrome

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 3:30 am
