and from the review right before the one I linked :
Quote:Also i think security is over rated, people that don't use this browser just because it uses IE engine doesn't make sense, because in fact it runs faster then firefox, loads faster, and in my experience even uses less resources.
yes, getting spyware, trojans & overall slowdowns on a PC is over rated :roll:
and having the browser load faster has nothing to do with security, it has to do with it being incorporated into the Windows shell which is also a security hole. Internet applications should RUN on an operating system, not be a PART of one.
people dont get viruses, spyware, and trojans because they use IE, they get viruses, spyware and trojans because they're fucking idiots.

hmmm...
i've had quite a number of problems with two G5s we purchased as soon as they came out. Two others that came later do not seem to have those issues. I'll chalk it up to that weirdness. Unfortunately, I use one of the troubled ones.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

I sortof agree with you - most people are stupid but even those "in the know" can get anything installed on their machine without their knowledge.

you cannot get a virus from opening an email message, reading a webpage, or downloading a file.
you get viruses from opening a file attached to an email or downloading and running a file from a webpage.
what this has to do with IE versus FF, you need to explain and educate me about.

I think it's because with IE sometimes you aren't privy to all the things you are downloading.

Email - ok, if you dont open attachments chances are you wont get anything that way - and yes, stupid people who do open then deserve everything they get from it - you'll get no argument from me.
There are several activeX exploits that can be affected through malicious coding - try going to a Warez site with IE, then run a spyware scan. You'll see a shitload of spyware and you wont see how or when it was installed. Now I know you'll say "well smart people dont go to warez sites" but smart people who use FF DO go to warez sites & come out unscathed (at least I have thus far, not that I go all the time since torrents manage to leep me happy).
I'm not a FF spokesperson, but a simple Google search on the inadequate security that IE and MS have provided for years will provide you with more education than I certainly could on the matter. Use what you like, FF is far from perfect but currently it is more secure.

Arpi & Ken are much better at back & forth banter with you than I'll ever be - plus it's time for me to go home. YOU WIN!!

So I've been using this, and it's great. But now I need to upload a shitload of stuff onto eRoom and it doesn't support IE7 yet. For some reason the plugin isn't installing into mozilla or Netscape, though it says both are supported.
I have not found a way to uninstall this browser and install an older one.

I couldn't uninstall it. So I went into program files and deleted the folder. Now it's all fucked. I give up.
