I Just Tried Firefox
-
Hmm, with all the talk and praise about Mozilla Firefox I thought I would give it a try... First impression: What a shitty browser, and most websites look like crap when viewed with it, including codeproject X| Well, it might do some things better than IE (wonder what things) but as long as it renders pages the way it do, I wont waste any more time with it for now... Lets hope it get better in time... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" ShotKeeper, my Photo Album / Organizer Application[^]

Ok After this discussion I installed ie2 (from firefox) and started using it. One complaint so far. I check google in the searches toolbar. But whenever I search it still turns up results from steadysearch. What on earth is steadysearch and why would I want it over google ?!:) \edit Ok looks like hitting enter sends it to steadysearch and using the search icon takes it to google. Still this doesn't look so impressive. \edit " Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill ? "

There's really not much different between the 2 browsers. It's mostly in the DHTML/javascript area which is why they haven't bothered to make the edit features work in FireFox. If it was just plain firefox I probably wouldn't use it, but the addins found here have made all the difference. Since I do a lot of web development, I use the development shortcut tool bar. Also, I'm addicted to gestures. It took a while to get used to them, but they are so much easier and faster then buttons or context menus. Also, the tabbed browsing thing is cool. I use that quite a bit. Though, I have to admit, that I do have to use the open in IE shortcut more often then I like. Also, since I've done web development for a while, I tend to look at sites that have poor cross browser as a weakness of the site rather then the browser.

I real prefer Slim Browser.[^] It's IE with tabbed browsed and ad blocking as well. I just turn off skins after I install it and it's fine. It's got very nice 'new URL' feature, where it opens up a new tab if a new URL is entered in. I've been using it for the last few months and I haven't had a problem with it other than a few popups here and there, in which AdAware likes to kill the whole browser. I don't care for Netscape or Mozilla/FireFox. And Opera is just a god-awful POS. I have found SlimBrowser a fine alternative to using multiple IE windows.

When posting a message the editboxes are not the same width, and the "toolbar" with the emoticons does not exactly look pretty either, as the spacing between the bitmaps are kinda large, so I have to scroll horz. to see them all. Ale the formatting buttons are missing. Might be minor stuff, but I think thats whats ruin the "browsing experience" ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

I had just the opposite experience with your site. Came up fine the first time I hit it. When I refreshed the browser, all the tables were strangely arranged. I agree, though. If the browser can render it fine one time, why not all the time. "Those that say a task is impossible shouldn't interrupt the ones who are doing it." - Chinese Proverb

Hmmm, just tried it too and saw no problem. May be they have something in their eyes :~ Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

I know, that is buggy. Just install the stardard Google Toolbar and then enable the IE plugin for google in the MyIE2 options. Then it will show up just like in IE.

That's what I mean. Every once in a while it comes up and display like crap. I hit refresh and its fine. In fact, I've had a few ppl send me emails stating that they can't view it in FF. I tell them to refresh and it works for them too at that point. It's very odd - and extremely frustrating. Cheers, Tom Archer "Use what talents you possess.
