Hi frieends.
I used IE all along.Recently i baought Internet service and installed Netscape 7.0(i am writing this on it!)
Netscape is fastest web browser unlike dumb IE which opens anything .Listen to me those who strill use Ie.Throw it away.se it only for Windows updating(which is no way replacement for Ctrl+Alt+Del)
Netscape Rulz!!
-
Your post. Just so wrong. Not because of IE playa hating, but because of everything else.

netscape sucks nearly as bad as IE...
-
If you think that Netscape rules, then you haven't used Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org), which is the driving force behind the Netscape browser. ;)
-
Nice to see at least that you dont use IE. ;)
-
just two days ago, a mate of mine said he had "problems" with my website. i replied "are you using IE? If so can i convince you to use a decent browser such as mozilla or phoenix?" and he basically replied later in the day saying "now using mozilla, it's great, any idea what's wrong with IE?", which was the golden opportunity to move in for the kill. he's already said he's interested in ditching windows (no prompting from me)
what i'm getting at is, don't poopoo somebody for saying netscape rules, welcome to the board, swapnil, hope you have a chance to try a lot of other non microsoft equivelants.

Certainly! Using a non-IE browser is definitely a big step forward! I just wish more and more people started using alternative browsers for starters.

Yes IE does suck, I laugh at my roomate everytime he sends me a link that exploits IE by opening up 500 cmd prompts or going into some endless java sprawl because they never work, well not on my browser anyway.

Too bad that most websites support Exploder and Netscape exclusively. This is why I rely heavily on Netscape.
I've called my bank and other places where I can't use other browser (like Konqueror) and was told that for "security reasons" they only stick to IE or Netscape. I told those dumbfound stupid fuckheads that if they're concerned about security, they ought to block Exploder.
-
Phoenix is best browser..but it's needs to install all plugins when you start with it..like flash, java , real, win media player,,ets..but afterall it's best...it stops pop ups. good bug handling. good speed.

"security reasons" what so they don't let other browsers go to their website because they think its not safe for them to do so? Dumb! Having people in charge of IT who have that little knowledge of what internet security is is a real security breach.
edit:
Oh, and swapnil, go get Mozilla 1.3. Netscape 7.0 is only a AOL sponsored version of Mozilla 1.02.

i was talking to a person at one of my credit card companies, she suggested that i use the internet to take of what i needed to. i told her about the actual security of it all because of m$ shit, by the time i was i was done you could hear the fear in her voice.
nothing like a guppie realizing how many sharks are out there lol

*cough*use opera*cough*

*cough*or don't*cough*as*cough*everyone*cough*knows*cough*mozilla*cough*is*cough*better*cough*
-
mozilla is indeed better, and if you install the xulplanet.com prefbar it has all the features that opera has. also, mozilla is open source and it overtook opera in the "better browser" stakes about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. *hak, cough, splutter*
-
Opera has beautiful skins though!
-
And so does Windows XP. But if I have to choose between something that looks good, but sucks (Windows XP) or look reasonable and kicks ass (GNU/Linux), I'd choose the second one.
-
mozilla's skins are almost as good as operas and definitely as varied.

Mozilla is definitely better as is any other browser that uses the Gecko rendering engine, like Camino, Phoenix etc. Opera and IE suck at "positioning" and use too many proprietary filters. On the other hand any browser based on Gecko will get the job right! ;)
-
IE??? Is a piece of crap, no doubt about it, it has to be one of the most unreliable browsers out there. It's the bain of my life, I guarantee that if I'm developing a site it will work on everything else except IE, it''s a fucking waste of hard drive. OK point in case:
Developed an interface that usd linked CSS to change the style of rollover, so on "hover" the link becomes italic, Moz, Safari, Opera etc... no problems. IE, no it can't do that because say an italic verdana 12px font is NOT the same as verdana 12px regular.
Microsoft sucks, boycot M$, do not let them win. :mad:

That's funny. For I know a person who actually use nothing but IE for internet banking and general browsing and says "The updates will keep the browser nice and sercuer" lol. I have tried to convert him to Mozilla or at least Netscape, but he just won't budge.

Well, the only reason that I use Explorer is because I have no choice. It is the ONLY browser that supports Zone.com
Before you ask, I play AC, and that is (in reality) NOT a microsoft product
Unless someone can tell me of any other browser that works perfectly at starting my game?
-
Yeah-I`ve tried a few browsers lately.Opera`s more fun to use than most.But I used the latest Mozilla build and it seems faster than any other browser I`ve tried.Being a beta, it did have it`s faults which is understandable.I stopped using IE some time ago...
-
zone.com is a microsoft address, that's why.
(http://zone.msn.com)
Trust msn to not make their sites standards compliant. :rolleyes: Hey does anyone know how to "misreport" your browser? I wonder if we could trick zone.com into thinking we were using IE. It would probably work then. ;)
-
what you want is the prefab bar.
it does alot of things, one of which is to mask your browser.
i dont have a link but i found it on this forum so a search would yield results.
-
A lot of these forums got deleted by X11 a while back didn't they? I think I'll check google, much quiker anyway. (http://smile.gif)

http://xulplanet.com/downloads/prefbar/ (http://xulplanet.com/downloads/prefbar/)
I use Mozilla. Never used Linux but Ive been moving away from microsoft for a long while. We have linux boxes in the kitchern and I telnet in to coompile in C. I use Mac primarily, and OSX, but I load up Darwin, OS X on the laptop as well.

konqueror has this ability. goto the site in question and click tools ---> change browser identification.
have fun with this

Has anyone tried Mozilla Firebird (still in beta 0.6)? I just finished installing it to a zip disk to run when I am at work. It's pretty fast, and comes with a nice smooth default skin and lots of customizing options. Just type 'about:config' in the address bar and it takes you to a huge list of customizing options, and it also worked for my bank's website which "requires" IE with no ad ons or plugins

I'm using Mozilla, recently upgraded to 1.3
I found Opera to be cool, but I didn't like the banner. Is that still part of the free version?
If Netscape 7.0 is like 6.0, its too bloated.
Keep IE around to poke fun at. But never use it to browse--certainly not internet banking.
BTW: about those 600,000 suckers who installed XP security updates and couldn't log on to the web due to conflicts with Symantec software.
69whatthef*ck69 are you listening.

yes i have been using it since version 0.1 and it kicks every other browser's ass. also the prefbar appears to work in it on all versions i have tried despite xulplanet apologising profusely that it didn't.
get mozillafirebird, it's the future. it really is too, mozilla are ditching mozilla in favour of firebird + a modular suite of chat/email etc programs.

LOL you use windows, but hate IE !?
Sigh :rolleyes:
