i'm shocked :P

[dug777]

On the same rig and connection?

Is it just me or is this usual? I really do notice the difference after two weeks using FF (and i will admit i love the extensions, adblock, forecast fox, flashgot are the main ones i am using 😀 ) then coming back to IE....

 

[shortspanishguy]

For me IE has always been faster

Isn't fortnight generally used in the future tense?

Maybe it's all the extensions bogging it down.

 

[ChooChooChooseMe]

It is a wee bit faster... I still prefer firefox.

It's a close call, but then if I go back to IE and get the occasional piece of spyware, it makes me happy I switched to FF 🙂

You can try a preview of 1.1 which is said to be faster. I tried it and it may be, but it doesn't support my extensions.

[ironcrotch]

Are you using the FF speedhack?

 

[cjgallen]

IE is MUCH faster IME, but I still prefer FF.

Yeah I believe fortnight is usually future tense, indeed. 😛

I also agree. It is much faster. Give it a try but be careful. 🙂

I'll have to check back in a fortnight 🙂

Edit: And actually, by the definition it is "a period of time that lasts 14 days" so you may have been technically correct anyhow 😛

i've been trying to find a link to support this, as i'm kinda interested 😉 all i can find is that it means 14days (two weeks 😛) no mention of only using it future tense...

Opera 8 has just been released. It's faster than FF and IE.

Big deal. OOOOoooOOOooOOoOOOOoOOoOOh I just saved 0.000000000000001 seconds by switching browsers, but lost 27509187091841 kickass extensions and other functional features by switching back to IE! Yay me!

😛

Leave the switching to Geico and stick with FF.

 

[n7]

Do the firefox speed tweak thing.

Search the software forum for it, as it really does help.
