Title: What browser do you call home?
Post by: Cyrandir on July 23, 2004, 07:48:12 pm

What internet browser do you guys use?  I\'m interested because I want to know what browser I should work on optimal compatibility for when building my guild website, etc.  I\'m personally a firefox fan.

Most people use Intenet explorer (including me), so that is propably the one you should focus on, but Mozilla is also a pretty good one, so you should make it compitable for that too. Netscape is another one that is used mostly by mac-users, so you should include that as well.

Opera, of course. And stuff is compatible with everything, you have to change things to make it work in the old-crappy-embbeded IE, not the other way around.

Safari, which I believe uses the KHTML (Konqueror) rendering engine.  I use IE at work, and occasionally a Mozilla variant at home.

Post by: Cyrandir on July 23, 2004, 09:01:18 pm

I\'m just sayin, some graphics etc render differently.  And there\'s some active script compatibility issuses, esp with SP2 on the way...

Post by: lynx_lupo on July 23, 2004, 09:57:55 pm

Yes, cause M$ doesn\'t care about accepted standards...

I used Konqueror for net occasionally too, until i someday broke the html interpreter somehow. :S

Mozilla Mozilla Mozilla.
Unless I am checking for compatibility issues or things like that at work then I use IE.

I use IE, but I dont like it. I want a new browser... But yeah, the vast majority of people use IE or some variation of it.

Don\'t forget about the wonderful tabs...

Mozilla Firefox v0.9.1

I only use IE in one situation, after a windows reinstallation so I can redownload firefox :P

Mozilla here, I was going to completely remove IE from my computer but then I found out Microsoft will nuke my computer from orbit if I do.

Post by: Cyrandir on July 24, 2004, 08:19:01 am

Elkindel: You forget that you still have to fire up IE to do windows update.  Unless you auto-update, I guess...  I prefer to manually update.  And technically IE and the explorer shell are the same thing, so unless you\'ve replaced your shell (like me) you\'re still using it.... but who am i to quibble over technicalities? ;)

Post by: icebr4kr on July 24, 2004, 08:51:54 am

I use Firefox for daily browsing. The browsers to check are generally IE 5.5+, Mozilla/Gecko, Safari, and I think you will be fine. Even if you use a Mozilla-based browser, ALWAYS check in IE or you will be getting complaints from >90% of the internet population. A good reference for web statistics is http://thecounter.com/stats/

I  do use firefox for browsing, but for making webpages i would suggest mozilla because it have a real javascript debugger, and a webpage editor wich isn t that great but allow to check the placement of tables and stuff.

But if you are on windows and are making webpages i would hightly suggest to install opera too , and regulary check compatibility with opera/mozilla/IE, if you can give a try to lynx,  just to realize than things like forums are completely unbrowsables for some peoples ( lynx is a text only browser, so blind guys use it)

I\'ve tried Mozilla, Firefox, Opera and other browsers but didn\'t care for any of them. I use Avant and it\'s much better than those other browsers.

In case you didn t knew , avant browser IS internet explorer

Post by: Adel on July 26, 2004, 11:35:55 pm

Weblite 0.1...
IE sucks, Mozilla is too filled (yo, it has even a kitchensink!) and i\'m just not comfort with opera.

BTW, you can\'t get Weblite anywhere because it\'s not released (I coded it, and I\'m to lazy to upload anything before I get my DSL). If someone wants it, for some reason, just PM me.

FireFox!

Nothing has screwed my \'puter over more than the security flaws in IE.

Firefox. Period.

IE is prone to so much spy/adware is scary.

Not to mention that it\'s coded in C which is the most poorly written language out there.

Hurrah for Python! Hurrah for Perl!

Title:
Post by: josephoenix on July 29, 2004, 06:40:38 am

C is still a tried and true workhorse!

IE is \'t3h sux\'.

I use Safari on my iBook.

I use FireFox on my \'big desktop\'.

I use dillo when I am disgruntled with FireFox.

I use lynx when viewing my website from a computer that doesn\'t have the changes I made cached already, which usually is a remote machine.

I use Konqueror while running Knoppix.

I use IE when dragged kicking and screaming.
