    Currently using IE8.

    I have installed Google Chrome and Firefox and initally i'm not happy with either.

    I have an ip camera that I can only get to work in IE8. This subsequently renders Chrome and Firefox useless.

    I have always used IE just like i've always used Nokia. So why should i change to another service that cannot provide what i require???

    Are ther any plugins for Chrome or Firefox that could get my IP camera to work.??

    Ben,

    what specifically is preventing the IP camera from running in Firefox? I'd imagine it's probably the lack of a flash plugin, try this :

    mycarsavw's the resident FF nerd so he'll be able to guide you towards the more useful plugins.

    I prefer FF over chrome & IE.

    Well, the answer is kind of in the posting. If you're happy with IE8, it serves your requirements and others don't then I'd stick with IE8. I know there are those who will (in some cases justifiably) put it down, but when you're got a nail to knock in, a hammer's a hammer.

    If IE8 works, stick with it Ben

    If this is related to another issue which I think it may be, try Firefox with the IE View Lite addon.

    I use FF and always have since it was released really. There are several addons that I cannot live without that IE just doesn't have.

    I did try Chrome but really didn't get on with it so it was removed after 2 days of release.

    Hi. sam.

    Ie8 on my main pc has recently began 'hanging' and just being slow and not loading the web pages you want to view. I works great on the laptop.

    I have managed to add the IE lite add on and although i can see what it does, i'm still required to have IE8 installed on my PC.

    i have found google chrome good for researching as you can type a search straight into the address bar and IE good for other things like running citrix based programs on it, so i just pick the best out of both and use them for what they are good at.

    I used to always use IE, however on my laptop it became horribly slow. So much so I couldn't be bothered using it.

    I've tried Safari and Chrome in the past and just didn't like them. I haven't tried Opera, which some people seem to recommend.

    I now use Firefox, and think it's great. Browsing is so much faster. It looks almost the same as IE8 anyway.

    I'll never use IE again.

    I use FF at home and work, tried IE recently as our virus/security at work does not integrate as well with FF. IE starts quicker than FF but that is where it all ends. I can't actually believe that the non MS application beats IE hands down.
