What is the best browser to use for Hacienda? IE takes forever to load each page in.

downloaded Firefox, amazed at the difference. Hacienda on IE is painfully slow, takes 30 secs to load a page in sometimes. On Firefox, it plays as quickly at Amun Re. Thanks.

I used IE when I started and played fairly well, then when I installed Firefox I started losing more often, so I went back to IE and have played better since, so I would have to say IE is better for Hacienda

Keep using Firefox. In time, you might turn back... Very Happy

much better today ---
page loading is ok
the thing that was very slow was --- completeing an action
i.e. -- Hacienda --- click on a card and wait..........
place the card and wait.............
end your turn and wait....................

same with Amun-Re

It works great for me on IE7. At the most it may take 3-5 seconds to load. But most of the time it loads in a sec or two.

...just my 2 pennies.

IE7 fixes the problems IE6 had with PNG transparency, so it will load about the same as Firefox. Firefox tends to have a slightly faster rendering engine, but IE7 is pretty darn close at this point. IE6 is archaic.

IE6 is still the standard for many enterprise environments. IE5.5 is archaic, IE6 isn't quite there yet. Some of us don't have a choice about what to use at work.
