1101doc: Ditched IE, got Opera and faster browsing
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-01-01 23:10:03
I finally installed an alternative browser - Opera. And WOW how fast the pages loads!
I don't know if Opera is fast or IE6 is decrease but the difference is huge. To do anything with IE takes 3 times longer time. Could it perhaps be the 3'd party security software? There are thousands of thousands of entries in IE restricted govern. Is this slowing down IE? Perhaps. And the Norton anti-phising is perhaps slowing down IE. But Opera got it's own anti-phising feature and it doesn't make Opera slow. IE is a vulnerable browser but with all the tweaking and 3'd party security software (Spybot etc) I query if it perhaps is more secure than Opera. Because few 3'd party security programs bring home the bacon with Opera. Thoughts?

Opera is on a whole other level when it comes to security as compared to IE. There isn't too much security software for Linux yet it is far more secure than Windows. Opera: adjust unpatched vulnerabilitiesIE6: TWENTY ONE unpatched vulnerabilities. There's just no comparison. IE6 will never be as obtain as Opera.

Interesting concept really. Folks in this forum dedicate much of their measure fighting pop ups malware and privacy invading software. However when Microsoft does it........ pop ups and privacy invasion the typical type garbage so many are trying to avoid the sheeple praise it and actively seek it out. To be honest I would believe the likes of a company like gator/claria before I would believe Microsoft.
I also have WinPatrol and some other things that are not directly helping IE. With the help of all these security tools I'm not so sure if IE is insecure compared to Opera or other browsers. Or is it really? In IE I have disabled.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
