"It's time to get the word out to web programmers that "Works best with Internet Explorer" is passe."
Unfortunately it's not that easy... commercial sites must still pander to the lowest common denominator -or- skillfully render browser specific pages on the fly. Prime example is the implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It was a PAINFUL wait until it was recognized and supported by IE. Not knocking Firefox at all, but Opera has been the un-sung defacto geek standard for W3 compliant browsing for almost a decade... http://www.opera.com It too is free. You can even load it on your phone. Haven't had the chance to compare/contrast yet. Maybe all this Firefox hype will be a boon for them too. -john -----Original Message----- From: Steven Krivit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 3:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Mozilla Firefox - Thumbs up! > >While we are on the subject of the Web, I recommend the new Mozilla >Firefox in place of the well known browser from you-know-who that is >usually referred to by its initials so that it sounds like "Aaiiiieee" (or >"Oy Gevalt!" in plain English.) > >- Jed What I like most about it so far is it's default "no pop-ups" policy. Of, perhaps 200 web sites I've been to since using it, only one failed to display properly with Firefox. It's time to get the word out to web programmers that "Works best with Internet Explorer" is passe. http://www.mozilla.org/ My webstats indicate that 70% of you use IE, and 19% of you use Firefox. s -- No virus found in this incoming message.
