Non Firefox browsers take long to load (1 Viewer)

[acmilan]

Heyo, ive really got no idea why, but all browsers i try other than firefox take ages to load sites (eg. google takes upwards of a minute). For the record ive tried IE, opera, avant. I'm stumped as to why, any ideas?

coz they're crap...firefox rocks..

lol nah, it's because firefox blocks out pop-ups and spyware, so it's alot faster to load, doesn't have to have the burden of the extra crap.

I guarantee that is not the problem

u increased the no. of pipelining requests in about:config in firefox?......a guess

Apparently Opera is meant to be the fastest.
I use Firefox though

That wouldnt be it. I'm not saying that firefox runs faster than others. My problem is the all other browsers run slower than they normally should. Firefox is the only one running at normal speed. Like i said, google is taking upwards of a minute to load, which isnt right on any browser.

ahk i see. could it be firewall? turn off all ur firewall and then try (or restart ur computer and see if it helps). Otherwise no idea

firefox is the best browser by far. BY FAR.

I think its the Geko rendering engine. I use Camino (firefox developed browser for OSX) and Its a touch faster than firefox, due in part to the better intergration with the OSX environment.

Safari is good, probably on par with Firefox, and Opera is just below them.

I have always used IE and happy with it.

Try a browser with tabbed browsing. Makes things so much easier.
IE is also unsecure.

Give Firefox a go.

IE7 has tabbed browsing? I'm happy with that

It does? well they took there fucking time about releasing it.
What about security?

acmilan: Does this happen on any other computer on your home network?

Others: Please stay on topic. IE7 discussion and whatnot should be moved to it's own thread in the discussion forum.

I think IE is just plain and simple, as for fire fox they try and shove all these tool bars on your browser.
