So how long was it before you searched "poop" so you could see pictures of poo raining down from the sky?

There's nothing elitist about wanting to advance web development.

Edrof · 7 Sep 2011 at 11:28

Yes, because MS have never helped computing along in any way and they are a totally evil company that strangles kittens. Besides, he never mentioned anything about web development, he just said he'd like to kill me for my choice of browser.

It's a browser - it helps me browse the internet perfectly fine thank you very much and in the extremely rare occasion that I get a problem I also have Firefox as a backup.

Vulcan · 7 Sep 2011 at 11:40

Why do you think he wants to kill you because of your browser choice? It's not an anti Microsoft statement, it's because IE is a pain in the ass to develop for.

If you really want to open that can of worms.. MS have done precisely 0 innovative work for computing. Everything they've done has been to hinder and to restrict future growth/progress. :E

Easily so, from the context that he quoted you stating you use IE.

I'd have killed you too, fyi.

Oh Jesus Christ, just tell me what browser is fashionably geek-chic, doesn't lead to bunny rabbits being made to be sad in any way, supports third-world growth, doesn't lead to second-hand smoke inhalation, works against the dangerous spread of vajazzles, is a conveniant platform for developers to use and can be easily recycled by most UK councils and I'll use it just to shut you all up!

tumbling Google and murder, this thread has it all!

Oh, been at work it took me a noticeable amount of time to think of something other than 'boob's to search for.

Pretty much, in fact I think I'm still on IE8 as I'm so lazy I cannot be bothered to upgrade. I can't even be bothered to find out what version I have. I do have Firefox, too, but I can't be bothered to find out how to import the favourites and then, well, import the favourites.

RopAyy · 7 Sep 2011 at 11:54

Firefox > file > import. Job done, your life is now saved from the Nazi posse that is the anti IE crowed.

Sunbed · 7 Sep 2011 at 12:00

I can't imagine using anything "below" IE9. Actually I couldn't use IE9. The browser is now arguably the most important application on your PC so it's worth investing time to tailor them to your needs.

ok, i have no problem with your browser choice then. if you actually preferred IE9 then you would be sentenced to death though

Woohoo, done, thanks!

Is there a quick way of importing my favourites toobar into Firefox? I have about 50 on my IE toobar (all icons).

Ooh er missus, sentenced to death by the nerd court. That will be a sight for sore eyes.

There's nothing geek-chic [sic] about it. There's also none of that other crap about it either. IE is literally single handedly responsible for slowing down the rate of improvement of the WWW and countless intranets around the world. I am not making this up. We are fully justified in our hatred for it. A *lot* of money has been wasted because MS do not follow the standards that the rest of the world use, and try to make their own standard that is un-documented and only works with their software.

I understand, but not every user is like you, has your needs or your knowledge. Some people just want to browse the internet.
