Konqueror ain't bad.  I wouldn't consider it great, but as a browser it holds its own.  The rendering engine is very good though, and Safari (which does own) uses that.

Yeah, and Safari owns even more with the latest CVS webkit: http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/. This makes it even faster than the current stable version. Safari 1.0 owned IE. Safari 1.1 was faster than the latest release of firefox. Safari 1.2 absolutely owned IE AND firefox. Safari 2 is even faster. With the open-sourced webkit, it is EVEN faster. Why? Look at the changelogs. The developers put in 0.5% faster here, 0.5% faster there etc... and it all adds up. Just search the changelogs for % and you will see what I mean.

Oh, there's a new version... one minute, let me just get it...

Linux
Firefox 1.0.7 - no crash
Deer Park 1.6a (nightly build from Oct 31)- no crash
SeaMonkey 1.1a (nightly build from Oct 31) - no crash

I guess Linux pretty much fucking rocks.

MacOSX

    Safari 2.0- No problems, just a bigass blank page. Tab closes fine.
    Firefox 1.0.7 - No issues at all.

I guess *NIX systems pretty much rock.

However, number of times IE whores have tried to go to said link on MY laptop to try and crash it: 7
Number of Mac OS or Safari crashes: 0

Interesting. I just crashed Windows by going to the link in H_TeXMeX_H's sig in a new window. It was brown. Sorta. I've been there before and it never crashed. But this time, BAM!, it was like someone hit the reset swich. It was with Firefox.

Cool, that was unexpected, why would it erase your bookmarks ? You should have saved them anyway, I save em every month or so, upload em to my gmail drafts folder just in case they are erased accidentally. If you still hold it against me, bring it on ... I can take anything you throw at me :mad: :eek: :D

I was also thinking of putting this in my e-mail signatures to piss people off ... MUAHHAHAHAH !!! I'm so evil :D but Bill Gates is far more evil
