When you're twelve, six months seems as though it's a long time.
Considering some here (myself including) have been using the intarweb longer than you've been using breathable air, you may want to at the very least weight the information offered appropriately.
There is an adage along the lines of, "the right tool for the right job". Seems rather applicable here.
If one tool isn't particular sufficient, try another.
Good one. Let's be super mature and turn this into a flame-fest, why don't we?
I'm eighteen. I started actually using the computer with the release of Starseige: Tribes (1998), ~eight years ago. Since then I've had many different computers (laptops, dekstops, some fast, some slow, etc) and have tested different browsers on each. IE, for me at least, has been the best browser I've used. Maybe it's just that I'm used to it, maybe I'm superstitious because I have never had a single virus or serious problem, maybe my versions of the other browsers were corrupt (they seemed that way, lol), but in my experience (whatever it may be, by your standards) IE always comes out on top.
I was trying to download one song, it didn't work. Downloading a whole new browser would NOT be the solution for a very minuscule problem like this. Imagine if it still didn't work. I'd have to uninstall, delete shortcuts, etc - it wouldn't be worth it. A waste of time.
