I have finally done it.....I have made the switch to FF! I have heard so much about it and about how so many people are using it and about how much fastger it is than IE so I just had to try it.
So far, I like it. With my slow internet connection, speed is something important to me and while I don't think it increased my actual internet speed, it does seem to load pages faster, which is what I wanted anyways. I have also done some tweeks to it I found online that supposedly make it even faster. I have also heard of an add-on called faster-fox, but am not sure yet if this will have any affect on dial-up.
I would also like to change the theme, but am not sure if this would make it a little slower than just the basic theme. Fast load times are what I am after. If anyone has any tricks to make it load even faster, I welcome them.
Some sites seem to load quite faster than IE, some just a little bit faster.
When I tested it on speedtest.net, the peak speed seemed to be about the same as with IE, sometimes slightly higher, but it appeared to begin downloading at a faster rate (3/4 of peak) at times which could account for the faster page loads.
As for IE, I still haven't upgraded, though it sometimes prompts me. I think I will wait a while. I would like to time page load time with FF and IE, when I do, I will post the results.
TANKS ALL FOR STEERING ME TO THIS AWESOME BROWSER.:good:
