Firefox Rules, MSIE Drools.
« on: 8 July 2004, 06:55 »
We have a Pentium 200 Win NT4 machine in the cleanroom for people to use.  Last week, some retard infected it with spyware from a file sharing program.  Now it has the "about:blank" hijacking virus on it.  The *&$%ing thing seems to be indestructable (do a search on Google and you will see what I'm talking about).

I put FireFox on it... wow it's nice and fast even on such a slow machine!

I'm very surprised to be honest. I have firefox running on a 233 Mhz Win NT 4.0 server machine and its slow as shit. Firefox is great, but it does have it memory hogging problems.

NT4 Server = the culprit?

I bet it uses more RAM itself or something.

I've never liked MSIE, FireFox works much better for me!

On my old 450mhz/192mb ram machine I ran Firefox because I had a hijacked IE window and was too lazy to fix it. It's an awesome browser.

From my experience, Opera is the best on old computers. It's not using much resources, and it's light and fast (excluding that built-in ad, unless you pay
