Mozilla and Firefox

Avant and Netcaptor (IE based)
Opera

Firefox works fine. I'm using it at home under Windows and Linux (same computer - diffrent boot). I'm using at work too. The best part is that I have the same bookmarks (favorites) an all because of one extension that allows me to save them on the external, normal ftp server. This is a very cool feature.

Well since the majority of the forum likes Firefox I suppose my avatar wont be to offensive to anybody.

I like Firefox, obviously...
Also my school is smart, they use Firefox and not IE.

Folcan, astalavista.com, there's a link to an IE7 beta there, or you can go find screenshots on microsoft.com of IE7 on vista. Mind you that site can be troublesome depending on how you use it.

Ya, IE7. Microsoft is finally deciding to add proper support to png images.

About image interlacing... that is a setting of the acctual image, if you see interlacing you're seeing the image the way the image's author intended it. You might think interlacing is ugly, but it isn't firefoxes fault that they use standard code rather then microcraps style of just pushing out whatever works.

IE all the way baby...

(This is from someone that does not like microsft and love linux)

Because lets face it... IE does work. Ever been to a site with embeded media on it in Firefox. Its support is rely basic... Netscape atleast half works, but in a Microsoft age, IE does work best.

(PS, of course If in linux obviosly I dont use IE, there is none. But I dont realy use linux that much as everything you buy is for windows... And yes I wish it wasn't this way but it is.)

Ahem, Netscape 8.x has the option to switch to the IE rendering engine, thus making it better than or as good as IE depending on what you want.

Except Netscape 8 is just plain crap...

notice that opera and firefox may identifies themself as IE, and this is the default on opera.
this trick is to allow all the ie only page out of there to work

Firefox works fine with imbedded media if you download the drivers... They aren't included by default so 56k users can DL and install the software without it exploding thier modem's. The only reason it works with IE by default is, lets face it, 95% of people only have IE because they installed it with a windows install disk, so microsoft just loaded the whole package on.

I expecially like those pages that upload embedded viruses from IE. Non stadard explorer suite for the win!

aGorm · Post by **aGorm** » 07 Oct 2005, 11:24

No, honestly... even with the drivers firefox does not actully do what you want it to. It sticks in all the buttons like play and stop (netscape does to, unless you put in two lots of code and detect the brosers to swich between it) when actully u just want it playing by itself. And it does not like you adding your own buttons elsewere, it overides them.

It is fast admitadly... but then the internets so slow do you realy notice??

Firefox > *

I hate IE, talk about a big hole for spyware to crawl through.

Firefox >>> Everything!

Zenka · Post by **Zenka** » 07 Oct 2005, 20:56

I use Opera for a long time.
Everything that is good in Firefox was in Opera long before that.
And since Opera recently became free: Opera > Fire Fox

As for all the IE lovers, sure it runs almost every site, but really, you actually LIKE the browser? You really find it handy, efficient, fast, easy to overlook?
Or are you just to lazy to try something else...

FizWizz · Post by **FizWizz** » 07 Oct 2005, 22:39

I've just made the switch from Opera to Firefox. the reason? Sure, I think that Opera's layout is superior to Firefox's (which is like an IE copy, use Opera and you'll know what I mean), but Firefox makes my modem download files at 5-6 kb/sec instead of Opera and IE's 2.8 kb/sec

aGorm · Post by **aGorm** » 08 Oct 2005, 15:14

a brouser cant speed up your internet conection... thats just a daft concept. it can reder out a page faster, due to it being better writen and more streamlined, but thats why IE displasyes everything... It slow at rendering but is more genoros on errors and non standered code. Realy... its a poi8ntless argument to tell the truth. (soz... all typed with left hand.... ignore mistakes....)
