Phoenix Network Forums

I think we must still give internet explorer 7 a go. Teset it out even if it is for a short while. You never know, and you know what they say "Dont knock it till you've tried it"

I've tried it, and I'm knocking it...why the fuck are the menus below the tabs?
(I think thats what really irritated me)

Why do we always need to decompile programs to assembler and modify them to get stuff positioned right

J/K

But actualy it can be modified i gues.

At the time of my testing it couldn't be moved...well not easily anyway.

Well, a Firefox user is still going to stick with Firefox. It's been always faster, more secure and easier to use.

Firstly, let me express my appreciation of this forum. The more I read the posts in this forum, the more I get to learn new things.

At present, I am using Firefox. I used to use Galeon (duh!), but when I upgraded to FC3, I switched to firefox because I find it more 'dynamic'. Mozilla? I just did not like their dinosaur icon. Learning that IE is sort of a firefox clone just makes me grateful I started to use an alternative to Microsoft's Windows.

Thanks for the post. Now I know what to say to friends about IE 7.

The Internet Explorer is based on the Gecko rendering engine, and so are Mozilla and Firefox (and a few other browsers). Firefox, like the Mozilla Suite, is from the Mozilla Foundation. They are a lot related, but Firefox is an independend project. Also Mozilla is a whole suite of applications, while Firefox is just a browser. The Mozilla Foundation has cancelled their work on the Mozilla Suite and now they develop Firefox more actively.

It uses ActiveX(ploit) as plugin API.
So who knows what can be done with it

I have tried IE 7 and I don't like it!
The two reasons are:
1. The combination for language change of the language bar Alt+Shift doesn't work in any web forms!
2. There is only one little button for refresh, stop and start... The tab title text and the address bar can be upset...

For me the best browser is Opera (You forgot to mention it in the poll).
It is a very powerful mail and IRC client. And it's tabbed browsing is made much better than the IE's one.

When the poll was made Opera wasn't freely distributed (well it was but it had screwy ads) so it wasn't as popular with the average user.
Having said that, I still don't like Opera as much as FireFox.

Ewh, I hate MSIE.. any of them. Just last month I was introduced to Mozilla's Firefox and I love it.. tabbed browsers.. over one window allowed to be open, and it's noticably faster. I like how it's so easy to install extensions.. that have been quite useful.. on FF, too.

Already up to version 7, and Microsoft still hasn't made their browser standards-compliant.

I'm sticking with Firefox.

Someone was telling me that they're slowly making it worse by developing their own CSS "standards" or something like that so that alot of websites will end up screwy depending on the browser.
If this ends up being true then we may encounter alot of problems down the track eh?

wow, whata big discusion on stupid M$ product
I mean why is there any discusion at all ?
Opera 8.5 or something like that is free kool get it it has a lots of feautures and other stuff, affcourse tabs so you wont have to open 200 opear's , only for me opera loads kinda to slow and i dont use that stuff that opera have.
