CC97 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 This is off-topic, but it's my board What the toolbar does is track webpage stats and rankings based on what sites the users of the toolbar visit. Why I'm posting this is because I've taken a massive hit on the Alexa rankings (from 40,000th overall in October 2004 to 480,000th overall today).If anyone wants to use it while browsing the page, I won't complain, Alexa Toolbar DownloadSo I'm curious if anyone who posts here uses the Alexa Toolbar for Internet Explorer? or if anyone used to use it and no longer does -- I need to know why I'm so unpopular now or was so popular at one point Thanks! --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick 1733 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Personally I use Netscape, never have problems with it but I've had tons with IE before, so I understand why most would rather not use IE. MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyWrench32 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I have never heard of Alexa, and you fools with your firefox make me laugh. IE has 90% of webpages written for it. WHy would you use somehting that doesn't support many web features? WHy? Because you are silly. IE doesn't conform to web standards. 99% of the pages I view with Firefox have no problems.I'm not silly for using Firefox. I don't like all of those security holes and software that installs itself. Not to mention Firefox is far less bloated and has so many incredible extensions.Firefox = Oh, and Alexa does indeed contain spyware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 99% of the pages you view appear correct, because web designers have spent many, many hours designing and redesigning to allow you and your 5% of the browser market to see what they have created. But many, many features do not function on firefox, they simply downgrade appropriately. You are missing more than you think.IE is the winner in the browser market. Use firefox if you wish, it may not have 'security holes' but neither does a fully updated version of IE. ANd IE is supported 100% by all web designers and providers.

paynomind Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Looking through your neighbor's window while he browses the internet is better than AOL.But no, we weren't. We were talking about browsers - the program you use to look at webpages.And about Alexa. Which I hadnt heard of. I dont much trust off-brand software or plugins, like searchbars. I use google!

number55 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Tabbed browsing and all-around superiority to IE makes Firefox my browser of choice. It just seems to work better. The small percentage of sites I've found which don't show properly in Firefox aren't worth visiting.And yeah, search bars are bad. Firefox allows you to add in-browser search engines for anything from IMDb through to Urbandictionary and anything in between, as well as directly searching Google from the address bar. Last I looked IE couldn't do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
