Also reported, IE users are more likely to use Norton, be unable to change their mouse sensitivity, and forget how to use stairs.

Didn't really need a survey to know that, but oh well, at least there's some official data on that now.

Considering how IE is the default web browser, there's bound to be more idiots that use it than anything else.

What I want to know is which user average is smarter: Firefox or chrome?

I'm using Firefox, mainly because I have a shitload of expansion on it so I wouldn't be able to just switch like that. FF has been getting shittier with each update for the past couple years or so. And it when from FF4 to FF5 in just a month or two without actually changing anything which was retarded...

Were you born a cynic? It's just a browser.

So wait are you just saying you dislike the direction FF is taking, or that Chrome (or IE) you believe is actually better?

@Jadg: Yes. Why should I just sit and watch when shit gets rubbed in my face?

@eaustinn:I don't like the direction FF is taking (which is the "we can't think of anything original and have to change something for marketing so we copy Chrome and Opera" direction). I haven't even looked into other browsers properly, but recently Opera and Chrome have been getting a wide variety of expansions, but they all suffer from the same problem. Slowly molding into three identical pieces of shit because they're all just concentrating on copying eachother.

I'd find some simple, low-performance browser, but again, I'm way too used to the expansions and smaller browsers don't have them.

I like chrome because I can link a lot of shit too my phone. Also it runs faster and smoother for me then firefox. Also I feel as if firefox is trying to be like chrome.

Re: Are IE users dumb? · **Garquin** on Fri Jul 29, 2011 4:10 pm
