Internet explorer help

<< < (3/4) > >>

Bishop:
For me FF takes longer to start up than IE but it loads pages alot faster, and yes FF does have security problems too but its not targeted by hakers so much and dosent use active X which does make it more secure.

Let me get this straight. You want to maximise screen real estate, so you open new windows instead of using tabs?

Can someone explain to me how this makes sense?

Adding windows to the start bar means there is no tab bar, when the tab bar isnt open it dosent take the space up.

Super Dave:
I am using Firefox right now, with the tab toolbar open, and it takes up maybe  1/8 of my screen, as compred to IE, which the last time I used it, took up almost 1/4 of my screen.

No start bar in OS X. Still, I guess the Dock could work the same way, if you minimize all the extra windows.

I gotta say, for me, the tiny amount of screen space the tab bar takes up is a perfectly fine tradeoff for the convenience of tabs. To each his own.
