I'm all for Web standards, and I think Microsoft should do a better job complying with them. But when the vast majority of people are using your product, whatever you do is the standard. I know that's bothersome to many people, but it's the truth. As far as creating Web pages, I'm a novice. And I don't have time to become a professional developer just so that I can put a few pages on the Net. I was working on a page the other day and I couldn't get it to look the same in IE and Mozilla. I tried to fix the problem, but I couldn't do it. I could either make it look right in IE or Mozilla, but not both. It was still functional in the other, but not perfect (and I'm a perfectionist--at least about some things). If I was trying to design a page that would look right for a majority of the people, which browser would I design for? For me, the answer to that question is simple: IE.
be nice if they updated camino soon. have you tried firefox on OSX? how's it different than camino? and btw, what is it about mozilla at copyright names? first chimera (which i liked) changed to camino, now firebird changes to firefox...
Took me forever to find this thread and even then I don't think it is the right one, but it does deal with browsers. Anyway, Vengeance, mark me down as another that converted from the **** known as IE to Mozilla. After numerous re-starts and running an anti-virus scan with Norton, I got tired of damn Explorer crashing on this one site. Mozilla is SOOOOOO much better.
On PC's... IE - decent. the best thing I can say about this Netscape - Piece of crap... Mozilla - Easy to use, and nice as hell FF- I would say a tad better as just a browser... Macs... IE - pretty nice, tends to crash on my 10.2. and it crashes often Safari - fast, easy to use, by far the best for just a browser. But media integration sucks ass, and also posting on Cfans is easirer with IE, esp when u hit tab and spacebar to submit rply(doesnt work with safari) Netscape - sux , piece of crap and others, well after safari, havnt gone back
Not really. The biggest thing that I've noticed is that the search-bar doesn't change from Google to "Find on this page" at random any more. That annoyed the HELL out of me . . . IMO, it's a bit cleaner and quicker, but nothing huge. I love the firefox icon, but I'm still not sold on the name. I think the word "browser" should've been in there. Or something that designates that it's an Internet Browser. "MS Internet Explorer" has it built into the name what it is, and it brands itself well like that. "Mozilla Firefox" doesn't mean anything to the average person until you tell him what it is . . .
I started using Mozilla Firebird a couple of months back, now alternatly switch in between IE and Mozilla FireFox. I use them simultaneously
