Read this. IE crashes so easy. And if you want to test it yourself click on the link he has.

I started using Mozilla even before firefox came out over two years ago. I was mad that I had to switch to firefox cuz like Mozilla 1.8 or whatever it was looked really cool and I'm still not a fan of the icons and I've never been able to find a custom theme that I like much. Anyways, I switched over because of all the spyware and adware I was getting with IE. Eventually, websites I visited daily kept giving me the error page cannot be found page and I would always get sad cuz I thought the site went down.

Long live firefox.

But they do say Vista IE is going to be better We'll see when I save up $500 for vista. Maybe I'll get a student discount on it cuz I'll be in college by then

I use firefox but as a programmer I know that virtually every piece of software has bugs. It's near impossible to be bug free. Some programs have more bugs than others. The thing with IE is it's so widely used that it becomes a lot easier to find the bugs. Also, IE has a lot more features built-in compared to firefox. That can cause a lot more bugs.

I'm not praising IE in anyway but a lot of the crap IE gets is unjustified.

I use firefox because
1. I don't need all the extra features within IE which just slow it down.
2. Spyware/viruses/trojans are written with IE in mind.

Sorry guys but it wouldn't crash my IE. I even put the code in my address bar and ran it. All it did was a search for the code in google. His web page did nothing. Maybe it's fixed. Sorry to disapoint #Onfire

Clicking that link in IE crashes it, not that code that he has written there.

I believe my signature is in order.

Never have a problem with IE, actually. Very rare occasion.
