    Firefox

    I'm not a Microsoft hater by any means, but if you guys haven't tried Firefox 3 yet, I highly suggest it. Loving it so far. Sucker's even got a spellchecker in it!

    Loads much faster, much smoother than IE7 too. I only had Google toolbar on IE7, no other garbage, and just to launch it took 4 seconds or so...with my machine being pretty fast, that drove me nuts.

    Get Firefox browser — Mozilla (US)

      Firefox 2 had a spellchecker too, but they are both add-ons. While the new one apparently launches faster and runs a bit smoother and with less CPU usage, but I'm giving it about a month or so for any bugs to creep up before updating. The main complaints I've read so far are interface ones.

          I brought this up in another thread, but I'll ask here too: Do any of you have a problem with blurry text in FF? Even after upgrading to FF3 (which is supposed to have better text rendering) the text gives me a headache, especially on forums. I like the speed, features & plugins, but I rarely use it because of the text issue. Googling so far, I only find mentions of the issue & fixes for Linux, but I'm running XP.

            what's that dg?
            I can't read your post... too blurry.





            LOL

            No, actually, it looks the same on my screen as I.E... but I'm running vista

              I'm waiting to update to FF3.0 when all of my plugins get 3.0 compatibility.

              Switching to a version of FF without all of my plugins right now, would SUCK!

              They're such an integral part of my FF experience.
              You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.

                I'll post a screencap of what I see in FF3. The text is much blurrier for me than in IE, and it gets really bad when scrolling. I never realized how much I actually read when scrolling until I couldn't do it.

                    You can into tools, options, content and adjust FF's font size and such.

                    I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.

                      I've messed around with it a little. I bumped the size up & switched fonts & it helped a bit.

                        Looks like some kind of "font smoothing" which IMHO sucks the wazoo.
                        See if there is some kind of smoothing setting - Vista comes standard with this crap enabled.

                          That was it, Joel! I didn't have ClearType enabled. I don't like it for some things, but it fixed FF right up. I'll probably just use ClearType when I browse with FF. Thanks!
