Lions and Tigers and IE 7! Oh my!
worker201:
In order to really understand what bugs are truly fixed and what bugs are not fixed, you have to have CSS parsers, XML parsers, and code watches, which IE will probably never have.
Their decision to only randomly support certain bits of CSS1, CSS2, and CSS3 is just plain shitty. If you look at what they choose not to support and the extras they use, it seems clear that they are either stupid and bitchy, or that they have something truly nasty hidden in their sleeves, like forcing the internet to use Microsoft GUI standards.

The bug of the seperate bar that is the fault of Internet Explorer still hasn't been fixed. So HTML 4 support is still crap.

Quadrone.org uses XHTML and CSS 3 and doesn't give a shit about Internet Explorer. This website works in all the modern browsers, except for Internet Explorer.
While I've found out that they now do support in an half-assed way, they still have a lot of work to do on the engine. I doubt that they will.
Also, the interface looks like it's made by some pre-teen who's uploading stuff to Theme-XP.org, and wonders why he's getting bad reviews all the time.

That one I can agree with.

IE has had that since SP2 for XP.

I've heard that they're planning to block ActiveX by default apart from Windows update.

True, FireFox does render faster than IE but IE loads quicker as it's already partly loaded with Windows.

IE doesn't have adblock. I'll never go back, not with the way flash ads are going these days. Adblock is freaking wonderful. I can live with ads on my terms. Ads that are reasonable, stay. Ads that are obnoxious, GO.
Do you have a link about the ActiveX going away? I find that suprising. The whole IE plugin structure is based on ActiveX since they decided to drop the Netscape Plugin format (we all know why). All sorts of IE only sites use ActiveX (stupid web coders). MS freaking loves ActiveX and has been shoving it down the throats of the world for TEN YEARS. Now they are going to disable it?
Aloone_Jonez:
Yes, it's true MS finally admit that ActiveX is insecure ans is a pile of shit.
