Which broswer do you use?

Clint,

Sorry if I came across a bit strong. I'd had a long, crappy work at week when I replied to your post, not to mention a few beers.

I hope you didn't take offence.

Cheers,

Oliver

Yardglass, by free music site do you mean to download music, track by track. If this is what you want to do, I have used iMesh for the last 3 years without any problems. Most songs are readily available unless you want the very obscure. I have cable net which makes downloading fast but cannot speak for the speed of dial up. If this is not help to you, hey forget I even wrote lol

[Clintsc9]

None whatsoever.

I much prefer people to say what they think.

[yardglass]

thanks nanna g,

will give it a try.

Hi kids,

Just letting you know that Firefox 1.5 has just been released.

I'm using it now, and it seems faster than the previous version. It also has some nice new features for your browsing pleasure.

Plus, it's still free and it's still just a 5 meg download.

As I've said before, do yourself a favor!

Cheers,

Oliver

Hey all,

I use mozilla suite. It combines Firefox and thunderbird into 1 great package. I havent touched IE since I switched to mozilla. It is a great program, but needs some patches to be installed to use certain things as it is made to be a lot more secure than IE.

I use mozilla just because it has tabbed browsing.

[Oliver]

Yep, if you had to name one reason to choose FF over IE, I'd say it's tabbed browsing. It's absolutely superb. And now that tabs can be reordered with drag and drop in FF 1.5 it's even better.

[yardglass]

just started using FF today.

still working out what everything is
not the sharpest tool in the shed with this stuff...
(but if you need something fabbed and welded, i'm the bloke.)

thanks for the h u Oliver.

[Oliver]

Yardy,

The preferences window is pretty much the only place you control FF from. Have a play around and see what tickles your fancy.

(You may have worked this out already, but Ctrl+Click on a link opens it in a new tab, Ctrl+T opens a blank new tab and Ctrl+W closes the current tab.)

Happy FireFoxing.

Cheers,

Oliver

hehe, looks like i'm the only mac user

Safari is the best browesr I have ever used, it's like having firefox that can read pages specially made for IE and it's faster than both!!

[Oliver]

Here's another reason to use and love Firefox: In v2.0, which was released recently, there's inline spellchecking of things you type into forms.

So if you're posting a message on this forum, as you type, misspelt words are underlined in red, a bit like happens in Word.

You can also choose which dictionary you want to use. I installed the Australian dictionary, and am loving spell check as you type.

Go Firefox!

Cheers,

Oliver

PS Further to a previous post in this thread about tabbed browsing, Internet Explorer now has tabbed browsing (as of v7, which was released a few weeks back). But having used new IE and Firefox, FF still craps all over IE, IMHO.

FF, 2.0 is cool. Anyone that does any kind of development with HTML or (especially) CSS, learns quite quickly to HATE IE. It is an absolute bitch, with its mangled, nasty standards support.

Oh, and I occasionally use lynx and links.

[Oliver]

Yep I hate IE With a passion

Why can't the IE developers just stick to the rules and standards like everyone else?

Oliver

seems to be microsoft's habit to take open standards and rape them..
