Finally got a gutfull of Internet Explorer

I’ve never been a fan if ie, but was simply too lazy to move. Now, however, Mozilla Firefox - the hands down choice of tech savvy users - made it simply too easy to stay.

Again, tonight, the ie browser was hanging repeatedly. Oh, so tiresome. This is also really bad when I’ve just about finished a blog post - and am so into the subject matter that I forget to repeatedly ‘save’.  It’s just unnecessary anxiety to shut down the entire browser and restart it. Also, I use a particular stock art and photo service, and was constantly having issues with their incompatibility with ie.

Since I’m working with software developers on a huge web-based software start up, I had plenty of encouragement at work to make the switcheroo.

Face it:

Firefox is the model that ie was crafted from. Mozilla Firefox is far more stable  - especially with videos and multiple picture downloads - and far, far more secure.

Further, Firefox simply loads pages way faster, taking advantge of it’s ability to better deal with CSS and table rendering times. Staying with slow old ie made no sense after having upgraded both my computer and going to fiberoptic AT&T Uverse internet service.

I had tried Firefox a long time ago and found it clunky and harder to deal with - fit only for geeks. Not so of the new and improved Firefox.

Within minutes I had everything from ie transferred over, and had nicely customized the page look. Firefox is way more streamlined, too, unloading the unnecessary crap that ie loads up with.

If I can deal with it, you can too.
