IE vs FX
IE popularly known as Internet Explorer was the only popular browser back in
the mid 90s. It was always the best browser, rated above Netscape Navigator and all the others.In 1999 it was the best browser and was used by almost everyone who had access to the Internet. But this situation did not prevail too long. All the internet spammers and spywares started attacking it as it was very vulnerable and most commonly used. The codes of IE were cracked by several hackers across the world and unwanted stuffs were added. This was the time when many people started switching over to php and xml based browsers like Opera,Mozilla etc.,taking this into notice mozilla.org started an opensource project. Originally titled Phoenix, it was renamed because of trademark issues with Phoenix Technologies.The replacement name, Firebird, provoked an intense response from the Firebird free database software project. Then the Mozilla Foundation stated that the browser should always bear the name Mozilla Firebird to avoid confusion with the database software. As it encountered problems from the database server's development community forced another change; on February 9,2004, Mozilla Firebird became Mozilla Firefox, often referred to as simply Firefox and sometimes abbreviated as Fx .Fx's first version came out on Nov 9,2004. Fx was aimed to build a browser which will overcome almost all the problems faced by IE. And yes it did, now Mozilla Firefox is the second best browser in the world. Now as Netscape Navigator has been closed by its company its fans are also turning their attention towards Firefox as many of the features are similar.
There are many reasons why Firefox still prevails to be the best. As i was searching on this topic I found a website where the owner had given reasons why people use firefox.
He Quoted:
Reason #1:Constant bugs and security fixes that were affecting IE and other plugins,toolbars and homepages are not there in FX.
#2:The majority of these spyware and vulnerabilities are commonly programmed for Internet Explorer being that IE holds over 70% of the internet browser market.
#3: Pop-Up blocking.
In recent days no browser works without a pop-up blocker.“Firefox stops annoying popup windows dead in their tracks”, according to Mozilla.org.
To confirm it tou can visit a pop-up blocker test page http://www.popup-blocker.info.
Mozilla Firefox’s built in popup blocker was able to handle the “Stress Test”, which according to pop-upblocker.info
#4:Tab browsing.
Firefox allows you to do tab browsing which cant be done in case of IE.This reduces the time and also the trouble in having multiple windows.
#5:Download manager.
This feature is present in IE too but in Fx it has been modified.We can do multiple downloads which can be seen in the same window.It also allows us to pause and resume the downloads which is an addition compared to IE.
#6:An Inbuilt Search engine.
Fx has an inbuilt search engine which takes lesser time than any other homepage .
#7: Options.
Fx's options are better arranged than IE which makes the users to change them without much difficulty.
#8: Pages get loaded faster in Fx than in IE.
#9:Added advantage.
The Mozilla project is an Open Source project where thousands of independent programmers can work on finding security holes before they are exploited.
#10:You can easily block the images with a right click and selecting block image option.

The World's best Search Engine...
Well how many of u out there thought Google was the world's best Search engine??? Fair enough.... Google has the links to the most websites in the world, it still is and will continue to be the site with the most hits in a day.... But, eventually, wat matters is whether we end up finding what we were searching or not.... The results displayed by google contain a lot of entries which contain bogus links.....
I found a search engine over the net which combines the expertise of the two best search engines in the world to create one hell of a search engine which went on to be christened Gahooyoogle!!(obviously after its sources). The site displays results from the Google, Yahoo, Live, Ask, AOL, Dogpile, Altavista search algorithms simultaneously. This way, the time we take to find our desired info is minimal. From the next time , when u wanna use a search engine, do try out the following links.
