lets make a little game

 if you go for microsoft (internet explorer) your text should be BLUE

if you go for firefox your text should be orange

if you go for opera your text should be red (like mine :} )

err I use Konqueror so what colour should my text be?


[info] Konqueror is the browser upon which Mac's Safari is based and was the second browser to pass the acid2 test long before Opera and which IE/Firefox are nowhere near to passing[/info]

Well the browser which I was the most happy with was Opera. In fact, I will download it again very soon. The only reason I don't have it right now is because of harddrive formating.

what good are statistics? due to poorly designed webpages I'm usually spoofing as IE6 on Win XP a lot of the time just to get pages to display

Do not use IE download opera 9 beta alpha one instead it is much faster trust me

If you watch the review videos you will see that opera is much more beutiful and he also spends more time on explaining operas features than he does on IE's and firefox's simple because it got more features

I think your game is wrong. I use Firefox and the text on my screen is clearly red.
Wait, the text is always red! Is this a joke?

What they're forgetting is that firefox is less vulnerable to attacks, but IE is built inot the operating system so it will always be faster.

Ah, now I understand this game. But firefox's color is yellow to me, not orange :lol:
This is yellow
Ah, now I understand, orange seems yellow because the background is dark.

As you can see I use firefox, but I love Opera. Opera is the most bug free browser and it has lots of features (like mouse gestures!). The reason I use firefox is because Opera used to have this banner. Opera has recently become 100% free, but the damage has already been done, I'm used to firefox.
Maybe I'll try opera again when version 9 becomes final, it's only beta now but already has the best Ajax and CSS support  :woot:
