who gives a fuck? baby jesus gives a fuck. he cries every time you launch maxthon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maxthon fucking rules. i think UZIM recommended it, when it was still called myIE2. thanks uzim! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
1: the entire mass of web developers give a fuck 2: "perfectly" must be relative then, as firefox actually works better than maxthon on correct pages. that maxthon is used simply becasue it renders "IE only" pages only contributes to more people creating more "IE only" pages, which are a fucking annoyance and one more step further towards microsofts software(compatibility) monopoly. I don't see why you'd want to use an inferior browser that promotes inferior web-pages and inferior web-development..? |
||||||||

i am hopeful that IE7 will be better... although, the screenshots aren't particularly encouraging. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, no matter what it looks like, they'll still be using their own silly standards and keep fucking up everything... *mumble mumble borders mumble inside mumble* |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
me-the-same. tabbrowsing is shit in opera. as i remember. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are making significant steps toward being more standards compliant. it's still not going to be perfect, but it will be beter. of course, it is just a reaction to firefox's surprising gain in market percentage and it only has to be good enough to stop people from defecting, but still it's a step in right direction. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

These four bugs in particular will open schloads of doors for more "modern" (a relative term since most of these have been standards since like 1998) web features. # CSS 2.1 Selector support (child, adjacent, attribute, first-child etc.) # CSS 2.1 Fixed positioning # Alpha channel in PNG images # Fix :hover on all elements |

The Beta isn't encouraging either. Maxthon..... maxthon CHRIST IT SUCKS! I installed it and got worried by the amount of shit trying to install at teh same fucking time. I tried it, realised it was IE with extra shit but the same fucking problems and uninstalled it. Back to firefox for me. Ideally I want a 100% standards compliant browser. Is that so fucking much to ask? |

If every major site turned round and said, we're going to stop designing our sites so that they work in IE, then Microsoft would quickly change IE to conform. That's all that's needed. The onus wouldn't be on the sites/designers. They could set it so that if they came with IE there would be a warning about the site and how to remedy the situation etc. I fucking hate IE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, don't get me wrong, i lose sleep due to my seething hatred for microsofts business tactics. it would take an unbelievably strong showing by IE7 and some huge fuckups by mozilla to make me leave firefox. still though, if i can ditch javascript menus and use :hover on divs instead AND start using transparent pngs in client sites i will be significantly happier. (fuck IE. fuck it in its backward arse.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah opacity and full css support is A+++++ grade! I'm having trouble right now with a page that gets extra scrollbars in IE no matter what I do unless I create lots of container divs, and I shouldn't have to do that!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god damnit you guys jinxed me! now my flash isn't working with adblock either!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a quick look on the comments for adblock, however, fixed that. adblock stopped development and took over. it works with flash 8. get it! |
||||||||
|

|
|
you using 1.5 ? i am and i think it is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1.5 of..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Firefox 1.5 well, 1.5 RC1, that is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooohhh.. beta thingie... no, I'm using the normal one.. didn't even know there was a beta, as I depend on that auto-update thingie for updates... heh... is 1.5 compatible with all the plugins? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not sure about ALL of the extensions. But, I can verify that there are compatible versions of: - DOM Inspector - Talkback - Adblock Filterset.G Updater - Web Developer - ColorZilla - Adblock Plus - ShowIP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll hang back for a while and wait for some of the other plugins to update, I think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks like google is looking to improve tabs in firefox. Who's gonna be the first to try the ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a large read.. what are they going to improve? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basically, they're experimenting with the overall usability of tabbed browsing. only the top 5 or 6 paragraphs are the article... the rest is a schload of comments. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weird.. it seems to me it works pretty good already... at least when in conjunction with mouse gestures... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does that install as an extra to my firefox or a whole new piece of ass? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it is a whole new piece of ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck it, I'll give it a whirl. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well there's not a lot of difference to be honest. There's a cross on the tab and that's about all I can see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
adblock plus + warp site like each other. thanks for the link. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are a brave man! ..A pioneer! I salute you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yeah, sounds like they changed to focus order and moved around the close tab button. Personally, I like the close tab button where it is, but I would like the "find bar"s close button moved to the right-hand side for consistency. That's driven me crazy since 0.8, or whenever they moved it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"changed the focus order" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha :D I've uninstalled it becaue I I could see nothing worth running an experimental build with. I'm sticking with 1.5RC1. It's working fine for me. 6 Extensions I use don't work but i can cope. I'm not going to do that thing to FORCE them to work :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's really easy to modify most xpi's to work. 7zip will allow you to open the xpi, then you can up the value of "MaxVersion" in install.rdf and drag it onto firefox. |
||||||||
|

|
opera is much better than firefox |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do you say that? i tried opera for a few days, but i could never get into it. it seemed cluttered and bulky. sell me on it, please. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just finished my experiment with Opera. I couldn't get on with it but in mitigation it's mail client is top-notch. Back to Firefox and Thunderbird for me. And cheers to epohs for the goodger link, interesting stuff. If you like firefox and interesting extensions you could do worse than take a quick peek at . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did have a look at Flock before. I saw nothing that firefox extensions couldn't do. Maybe I didn't look deep enough? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
flock was neat if your into the whole blog sharing stuff... but, i would rarely ever use that stuff so i saw no compelling reason to switch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
: this just works! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Installed that the other day and I'm surprised that it actually worked. I took it down from Turbo though to be kind to the internet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
does anyone know about any extension that kind of connects to the mail server and checks for new mail, but it doesn't retrieve the mail from the server, it just gives me a notifier that I click and then I open the webmail in a new tab? I don't like mailprograms.. they are the root of all evil. however, having to have the mail tabs open all the time is annoying, so if I could just get some notification, that would rock... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know there are gmail and yahoo notifiers... but, i don't know of a generic one that will check any mail server. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weird.. it can't be that hard, can it? would it somehow be possible to use one of those two and just change the pop server or whatever that mail thingie is called? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's kinda what i was thinking. it's worth taking a look anyhow. but, it seems like an extension for this should already exist, nah meen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stupid firefox! i'm gonna surf the webs on an abacas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it seems like a logical thing, but I didn't find it in the official firefox extension database... are there secondary ones? I also don't know anything about the structure of these extensions, but if they have plain text areas, I could maybe find the variable for the mail server (if the entire extension structure or whatever isn't depending on the use of such-and-such a server)... |
