Internet Explorer...screw yourself.

*note* I'm only responding to ones that are worth arguing against, because some of the anti-IE people are being stupid.

I missed the thing about skins, but I can take a guess as to what they are. The fact that IE does not support them at all makes any that does inherently better, even if it's a feature you personally find useless. I don't care for skins either, so it doesn't affect my choice of webbrowser at all, but for some people, customization is their life.

4. How can you work faster? It has more code and requires more system memory to run. Maybe you just screwed up your IE, or the other browser takes over it when you install, like RealPlayer tries to do.

IE takes twice as long to load any pages than FireFox does, barring ones made with the explicit intent and purpose of running 100% perfectly in Internet Explorer, such as any and all Microsoft Corporation pages. It also runs using bloated code. It takes more of my computer's RAM to have FFR open in IE than it does in FireFox. Now, if what you said is correct, the opposite should be true.

5. IRC sucks. mIRC was only good for scripting.

Personal vendettas against IRC as a whole is now arguing like the people with personall vendettas against IE, so don't even try that angle lest you make yourself out to be a hypocrite. mIRC also works, unlike a large majority of IRC clients I've encountered I was told I need to use. Shure, it's pretty bare-basics, but it works.

6. Tabbed windows for what reason? I find Alt+Tab to be much more efficient than having to move the mouse.

Yet again, extra features do not detract from a program, but lack of them will for certain people.

7. Reason for support? Negatory. Learn how to use a computer maybe.

Huh? What was yor question a counter to?

8. Control clicks with the google toolbar allows needed popups.

Which is a pain in the ass to HAVE to do to let needed popups get through.

12. Never crashed IE in my life. 10 years now.

You're a rare person. IE crashes on me when I click the link to go to my hotmail account inside of MSN messenger, for crying out loud.

13. ... Try using one password for every site. Microsoft also has a built-in feature in its OS for password remembering.

Using one password is not a safe thing to do. Someone discovers it, how many things can they now access?

And as for what you're saying about XP... I have yet to know what you're talking about. It's never asked me if I wanted to store a password after I enter some place that requires one.
