Firefox myths
H_TeXMeX_H:
On the same site there is another Firefox myths article (looks like this one may be the original)
http://www.webdevout.net/firefox_myths.php
--- Quote --- There is another article entitled "Firefox Myths" that has been spammed on hundreds of websites. The article contains some deliberate misquotes from me and several others who pointed out flaws in the page, and it also contains other lies and libel. The author has even posed as me in discussion forums in support of his page. He has an extensive history of lying about his identity and relation to the article, and his persistent spam techniques and trolling have gotten him permanently banned from many websites including digg, Neowin, and TechSpot. His article should be regarded with a high degree of skepticism.

Very interesting indeed ...
For those of you who need spoon feeding ... The "other article" (the spammed one that contains some deliberate misquotes from the original article and several others who pointed out flaws in the page, and it also contains other lies and libel) is the one Aloone found and is the topic of this thread. The real myths article is at webdevout as I have just posted.

Yes, it is infact the original, and the orignal I can agree on a lot more then the spammed one

Please don't spread more lies. My Firefox Myths Page is the original. I really find it ridiculous to even have to defend that. David Hammond made his page AFTER I refused to add excuses to mine. You can read more about the truth of Mr. Hammond here:
Firefox Fables
What I continue to find funny is the complete inability for anyone to think for themselves. I get the same nonsense brought up from the same people and sites.

People that are in the far minority.
--- Quote from: worker201 ---1) Duh, it's a Microsoft product! Using IE is a tacit approval of the Microsoft company and the Microsoft way of doing business. Of course nobody knows I am not using IE but me, but dammit, it's important to stick to your principles at all times, even when nobody else is watching.
--- End quote ---
The average person doesn't care nor should they.
--- Quote from: worker201 ---2) Standards bludgeoning. Of course not every browser can be 100% W3C standards compliant, because the W3C changes their minds about things every day. But no other web browser is making up their own bits and pieces of HTML for their own specific use. IE has all these little bits of code that it made up which go against standards. And some of their handling of XHTML is mind-boggling. I can provide more specific examples if you don't know what I am talking about.
--- End quote ---
The key here is that no browser is 100% compliant, including Firefox. The reality is it means very little since the most web pages are compatible with IE. Yes IE's lack of full standards compliance is well documented and spread. It has nothing to do with Firefox lacking standards though.
--- Quote from: worker201 ---3) Web annoyances. In reality, these aren't IE's fault - it's the stupid damn web designers preying on the fact that IE is so popular. Mostly these are pr0n sites who try to force downloads or redirect or take control of the browser. Probably Linux and OSX have shielded me from as many of these as not using IE.

This is a really bad argument. Web Designers design for their audience. There is nothing "stupid" about that.
--- Quote from: worker201 ---4) I just don't fucking like it. And nobody can tell me differently. This is one of those points that means nothing and everything all at once. The greatest program in the world is useless to me if I can't stand to use it. So there's why I like Firefox. And there's why I am using SeaMonkey right now. Opera might be good, but something about it just rubbed me the wrong way. And IE makes me wanna slit my wrists everytime I see that Favorites menu up there where the bookmarks are supposed to be. Well, perhaps growing up on Netscape Navigator has something to do with it.

They are just web browsers. I long ago woke up to the reality of page compatibility and so has the majority of users.
--- Quote from: cymon ---No, Debian has had the best update system you fucking retard. So does OS X, and I'm sure FreeBSD has a good one too.
--- End quote ---
Wow, reading usually helps! I said "one of the best". But your "opinion" on Debian is just that. Nothing like personal attacks to ruin your credibility either.

I'm not YOU are. Are Firefox's minimum requirements lower than IE's or not? It is really a simple question. You insist upon making excuses for what is blatantly obvious.
--- Quote from: ReggieMicheals ---Not anymore. Microsoft pulled the plug on IE for the Mac a while ago.
--- End quote ---
Interesting, I never said Mac. I said other OSes = Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP ect...
--- Quote from: ReggieMicheals ---Say that to a developer's face.
--- End quote ---
ANYTIME! Whether something is Open Source or not has nothing to do with the Firefox Myths page.
--- Quote from: ReggieMicheals ---EDIT: I see it isn't worth my time to respond to this idiot.
--- End quote ---
Why am I an "idiot"? Because I can backup everything I say and disprove every pathetic argument? Same nonsense different website.
