Heyo, ive really got no idea why, but all browsers i try other than firefox take ages to load sites (eg. google takes upwards of a minute). For the record ive tried IE, opera, avant. I'm stumped as to why, any ideas?

coz they're crap...firefox rocks..

lol nah, it's because firefox blocks out pop-ups and spyware, so it's alot faster to load, doesn't have to have the burden of the extra crap.

Apparently Opera is meant to be the fastest.
I use Firefox though

That wouldnt be it. I'm not saying that firefox runs faster than others. My problem is the all other browsers run slower than they normally should. Firefox is the only one running at normal speed. Like i said, google is taking upwards of a minute to load, which isnt right on any browser.

I think its the Geko rendering engine. I use Camino (firefox developed browser for OSX) and Its a touch faster than firefox, due in part to the better intergration with the OSX environment.

Safari is good, probably on par with Firefox, and Opera is just below them.

Try a browser with tabbed browsing. Makes things so much easier.
IE is also unsecure.

Give Firefox a go.

acmilan: Does this happen on any other computer on your home network?

Others: Please stay on topic. IE7 discussion and whatnot should be moved to it's own thread in the discussion forum.

I think IE is just plain and simple, as for fire fox they try and shove all these tool bars on your browser.
