internet explorer 6.0 Classic or dud?

I'm sitting in a computer lab on campus right now and am shocked to see everyone around me using Internet Explorer when Firefox is readily available. I guess I'd just assumed everybody had switched to something else by now.

Do people still use IE?

People are dud. They swallow everything The Man gives them: IE, war in Iraq, taxes, it's just easier to click OK and vote yes, The Man will know what to do and people are too tired to think about stuff. Thinking probably burns too many calories too, so we'll panic if/when it crashes or the war starts to cost us money personally.

using FIREFOX on a MAC as i do i radiate smugness like plants shit oxygen

that's something to be smug about? I mean, I do it, too... so?

i'm sticking it to the man like stanm

IR not worthy! (FF on XP) (but I turned off some evil MS background stuff! really!)

Firefox for Mac is still pretty buggy... I prefer Safari or Camino or Shiira (which is more buggy but also 105985% more awesome)

But Firefox on PC is still the classickest of classic.

Also yes, FF for Mac is still buggy. I still use, it, though, because like all those folx who still use IE, I just can't be arsed.

Shiira's japanese! it's crazy! like the japanese! if yr html isn't watertight it puts fighting fish down yr pants and films it for tarrant on tv

Opera suggestion still encouraged! Rah! Rah! Opera!

opera looks like shit

It does? Looks pretty Firefoxy to me, at least on those screenshots @ opera.com.

Opera mini is pretty amazing on my cell phone, but that's because there's no real alternative (the native browser was incredibly crappy) and Firefox have only just announced plans to throw something together for mobile devices in the far future.

actually i do like it on the wii but that's novelty value really

Opera is fantastic for surfing at work - push a button and images and styling are disabled. It's also been the only browser I can stand for designing/coding - if I can get a design properly displayed and validated in Opera, there's little chance of error in Firefox (bores me) or IE (scares me.)

d/l just finished and nope, still looks like shit, firefox uber alles

that afro pick = classic

Several sites within my company's intranet are only compliant with IE. For that reason, I used to use IE all the time at work. But it ended up being very slooow, so I switched to Firefox and installed an app that allows you to reload a tab within Firefox as IE.

i'm not crazy about ie7 but the latest ff on xp is a huge resource hog that challenges any microsoft browser. I routinely go check my resources and am shocked to see doing simple things like clicking links take up 100% of my cpu resources.

I do not have the science to back this up at all, but FF on an Intel mac seems buggier than on a Power PC.

y'know, my ff is so customized that i get really frustrated using it on other people's computers, i would totally use IE(6) if it was just some random kiosk i had no control over. My work intranet doesn't like FF or IE 7 anyway so I'm used to it.

I have some special bookmark configurations that I'm used to and a few plug-ins and a couple greasemonkey scrips, but nothing so serious that it ruins my browsing if it's not there.

IE 7: Dudder than 6, easy. The GUI is slower'n shit, as well as being about 20x more ugly.
