What? You reckon I should even use Firefox even over Virgin (when it arrives next month) rubschin:

Yes!

Why?
Is Virgin shite too? eeek:  Shocked:

Please don't say yes now I've virtually made me mind up. angry041:

No,

Virgin just provides the Internet connection....

You can use any browser or e-mail client that you choose - FireFox is one of the best browsers...

If Virgin do have a browser available it will be based on one of the well-known ones anyway (IE or Firefox) but will likely be loaded with extras that you don't need...

If it help Growler, we here are with Virgin and I use firefox to browse.
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

There are two schools of thought on Firefox Growler

a) it's not from Microsoft so it must be good no matter

b) it's feature shy and way too geeky

But everyone agrees AOL is shite.
Well, whatever, nevermind

Indeedeedodo.
Even the geezer what recommended it to me back in 2003 moved away from it in the end....'cus he also finally said it was shite! lol:

Virgin have guaranteed that their man who comes around to install the cables and set all the tv and stuff up will be able to firebomb it out of this thing, 'cus that has been one of my main concerns. eveilgrin:
Been told that they totally infect your PC, and can be extremelly difficult to eradicate.

They must have some special aoHELL eradication sweeper or summat. confused:
