You know, I've been thinking of switching to FF, from IE. Any opinions? I mainly read sites like this fine one, basic email, check my credit card balances, and watch youtube.

I've been using Firefox for about 6 months now. Couldn't be happier. I never really had a problem with IE, I mean the only reason to ever worry about having important info stolen is if you ordered stuff online with credit cards and personal info and such all the time. So if you do a lot of that, then by all means switch to Firefox. If you simply look at the web every now and then though, it likely won't matter which browser you use. However, anything can happen. So why not just use the safest browser? Switch to Firefox. And if you want to be extremely safe, use Opera. Nobody hacks that browser. lol! Of course it's incompatible with several sites I've tried to visit.

Thanks for the info guys. I spose I place only a couple of orders online a year and renew my anti-virus (how ironic), but it's the compatiblity question I guess I was after.
Like, are there any sites' or videos' (not porn) formats that just don't work in browsers other than IE?

There are a very few websites that don't like to cooperate with Firefox. The only two I've ever encountered were certain sections on www.target.com and a Super Mario Bros website. Other than that, every site I've ever gone to has worked.

Should be a warning on that picture, perhaps. My work's not the kind where I would get in trouble, but yeah.
Anyway, I use FF here at work for my leisurely web viewing, like right now, but for work stuff I use IE. IE was using 100% processor a lot of the time on this site for some reason, so I got something fast and easy.
At home I use Opera, but it needs a lot more configuration to get it to work just how I like. Not willing to do all that at work. Both FF and Opera are great browsers, but I give the edge to Opera, as it feels more refined. FF is a little more minimalistic, which I like, usually, but it also feels incomplete and sloppy at times. Anyway, you can't really go wrong with either one, when coming from IE. Both are much easier to use out of the box than IE, as well.

School uses Firefox and honestly I don't dig it as much... I'm just used to IE and honestly don't see what's wrong with it.
