Mozilla / Internet Explorer?
-
I just checked out the latest build of Mozilla, and I'm plesantly suprised by it's speed and stability. You really should check it out. :) Renders as nicely (in most cases, anyway) as Internet Explorer, and has features that make me _very_ happy: pop-up window blocking! :) Yay.. Yeah, anyway, enough incoherent rambling for now.. (Oh, did I mention it can selectively block images? e.g. from known ad-servers...) Kris

Yeah, Mozilla is my browser of choice. Sadly the company firewall here demands some kind of microsoft secret handshake, so only IE can see past it :mad: -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

I know there's a purely technical explanation for this, but every time IE is slow to load a page I start up Mozilla and enter the same url, and lo and behold, IE suddenly decides to quickly load the page. It's quite funny to me actually, I call it "letting the dragon loose on IE". I even speak to IE now, warning it that "I'll let Moz loose on you, you f**k!!" hehe I must be losing it. Senkwe And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

And since it is such a low priority, it is not worth rewriting the forum scripts just so it works in Mozilla (if you read this and start frothing at the mouth about forward standards thinking then please email me and we can take this outside.)

I truly understand it's low priority. Just wishful thinking! :) (I maybe frothing at the mouth but that's got to do with the other tabs I keep open in my Mozilla... and they don't say one god damn word about standards... uhh... kinda... :wtf: ) / L-G --- $> cd /pub $> more beer
