hast-webben 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Hi,I've seen several discussions about browsers arrond the board, but I havn't yet found a poll like this. I think that it could be useful for designers to know which browser to count on when you're design your homepage. Even then that I know that the diffrence between Mozilla, Netscape and Opera is almost zero.I hope that this would be funny..:-)CheersJens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 To be honest, designers should go the extra mile to make it as compatible as they can and make it standard. Government sites must meet every requirement so why not all sites the same.The difference depends on proprietory aspects of the browser, if you can avoid using them then the only marginal difference will be seen in how it's displayed.Cheers,MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilipie 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 I test my sites in Mozilla, IE, Firefox and Opera (PC), and then I use iCapture to see what it looks like on a Mac. I hate it when sites have been designed for a browser like IE, and they end up looking crap in a good browser like Firefox.I think developers/designers should aim to have their site working in most OS/Browsers/Screen Resoloutions.

Hercco 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 I love Opera & Gecko based ones and hate IE with passion. I naturally test my site with all browsers I have available (in windows and linux). And for me, making it look good on IE is always most painful task. It really is funny how a standard compliant site that looks fine in Netscape is totally crap in Microsoft's browser. And yet 95% of web users still stick with it...By the way thanks for that link to iCapture. I wasn't aware of such a service until now. I'll have my site processed there as I write. Really handy as I for example don't have access to a machintosh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniel151405241469 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2004 i like opera the best, its just all the features that make it the ultimate browser. i mean, there's inbuilt mail client, ftp client, irc client, popup blocking, ad blocking, cookie filtering, ..., ... the list goes on...

lhunath 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 Exactly, Opera's the best alternative, and we must stimulate the web comunity to ban these javascript things. And generally make compliant HTML. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

palestranger 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 Opera is fine but the latest IE is better integrated in the winXP os..I'm just too lazy to install opera:p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lhunath 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 The latest IE is Internet Explorer 6.0, and I don't think thats the one you mean.. There will be no more Internet Explorers after this one. A reason more why we should all change to another browser right away.And it has nothing to do with lazyness.. I'll give you a link and all u have to do is click it, just the kind of clicking you do when you're not installing Opera. ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r3d1405241470 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 the main reason why i install opera coz of it allow me view my design from -80% - 1000% zoom, not just text but the whole design. and the latest opera is quite bug free as mozilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
next 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 i am not sure what browser also lets you zoom in and out, but its used as the default in mac as IE is to windows. i think its netscape, i wish they had that for IE or Firefox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
