What if the ads were in, say, 'msn.com/ads"? You'd be fucked.

LOL, you didn't notice any difference between the two?

IE lets intrusive ads get in, and install shit to your computer.

Do a spyware search after using IE, you'll find stuff. Firefox, usually nothing.

Can't you read? Admuncher blocks every intrusive ads and spyware that could ever come my way.

Gestures? What's that?

Basically controlling the browser via mouse movements. Going back and forward can be achieved by clicking the mouse and moving to the left/right. Very intuitive control interface. Just to clarify, I'm not being smarmy, I used to be an IE user myself. Firefox is simply the better product.

To each his own.

I don't like having to add stuff to my browser for it to work the way I want it to.

Still seems to be very limited compared to Admuncher. Can't filter scripts, can't reshape webpages...

Gestures? What's that?

Mouse Gestures. The single best thing about Firefox (and Opera). Just hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse to perform several common tasks (by default left goes back, right goes forward, down opens a link an a new window, up opens a link in a new tab, down then right closes the window, ect...).

It is amazingly useful once you get used to it.

It can do both of those things.

I asked about this feature in one of the Revolution threads before, and apparently programs exist that do this for IE as well.

Yes there are, as are programs to add tabs and pretty much every other feature in Firefox into IE if you want to go to the trouble.

I'm really sure that it's *easier* to install said add-ons to Firefox than IE, seeing as to how Firefox was created with Extensions in mind.

It is much easier to install add-ons into Firefox, plus everything listed on MozillaUpdate is a lot safer than a random 3rd party plug-in for IE where you have no idea if any spyware is included.

Can't I laugh at stupid McDonalds ads without having to deal with a bunch of browser zealots? Where is the extension that blocks them?

 

[MrAngryFace]

HELLO I LUV MICROSOFT!

Seriously, IE is dumb shit. Its installed so much crap WHILE IM ASLEEP that completely infests my computer, and even some of the best spyware shit cant get it out completely.
