- neasteflorin, on 11/17/2008, -9/+101Still sticking to Firefox. Addons are the thing I can't live without.
- ScrewedThePooch, on 11/17/2008, -6/+67But can it block ads?
- Doomsan, on 11/18/2008, -10/+60I'm sorry but i'm never going back to IE.
- ProfessorLX, on 11/17/2008, -29/+73Firefox > IE
as a matter o fact Firefox > All other browsers. - Spicymove, on 11/18/2008, -16/+50But did they fix the suck?
- CoolGoose, on 11/17/2008, -9/+36The interface is pretty much the same right now, but that was expected. I'm hoping for even better web standards support because i'm tired of making hacks to fix different issues/
- BXRWXR, on 11/18/2008, -19/+45I use Firefox and I'm never going back.
Sorry Microsoft, you just lost the game. - Rudegar, on 11/18/2008, -5/+31as a matter o fact IE < All other browsers.
- Foliot, on 11/18/2008, -4/+23Wrong.
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -4/+18Not according to every benchmark I've ever seen, fanboy.
- Phalanxia, on 11/18/2008, -0/+13I wonder how many Diggers wouldn't Digg if you suddenly had to pay to Digg.
- SmudgeTheFirst, on 11/17/2008, -5/+18Bulkiness is a concern, but IE8 is definitely a lot more impressive than its predecessors. I'll still stick with Firefox, though...
- timusca, on 11/18/2008, -13/+26I'm so tired of people acting elitist because they know how to block ads... I can block ads too, but I don't because most of my favorite sites wouldn't exist if not for ads. Sure, I don't click on them, but if everyone blocked them, no one would want to to advertise on the site.
- jhchrist, on 11/18/2008, -0/+12Regardless of the dictionary definitions, a hack is a clever trick that makes something work - sometimes elegant, but often not. So a css hack like this would be a clever trick that makes a web page work in IE. It has nothing to do with cracking.
- Murdats, on 11/18/2008, -1/+12this message courtesy of every web developer in the world.
- MarkusX, on 11/18/2008, -6/+17He's probably a Web dsigner/developer,
Technically the term "hack" is wrong in these cases, but they are commonly used e.g. in "CSS-Hack", although it has nothing to do with hacking or hackers. - inactive, on 11/18/2008, -3/+13*****, I just lost the game.
- Shaman760, on 11/18/2008, -3/+13Will it still break CSS?
- MrJagil, on 11/18/2008, -2/+12Competition is a good thing.
- yourwebchick, on 11/18/2008, -4/+13We Internet techie geeks LOVE firefox, but I track which browsers people use when they visit my sites and my clients sites.. still close to 80% use IE... I imagine if you are strictly a site for and by techies those stats would be different.
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -28/+37Dear Microsoft,
Please stop.
With love,
me - phatvolvo, on 11/18/2008, -2/+11I hate your tone, but I like your point. And also the cut of your jib.
- DjArcadian, on 11/18/2008, -0/+9I still have to design with IE6 in mind. Even if IE8 launched today it will be years before IE6 and IE7 become irrelevant.
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -6/+15It's still Microsoft.
- akebeth, on 11/18/2008, -1/+10No, he's right if you use the newest version of Webkit. Go download it and run the Acid 3 test and compare it with Firefox. Webkit wins.
- Phalanxia, on 11/18/2008, -3/+11Oh crap, I lost the game.
:( - inactive, on 11/18/2008, -0/+8the majority yes
- articroll, on 11/18/2008, -3/+10i had a problem using ie 8 beta 2 on my pc, it turned the gui on my anti-virus totally blank, it still worked, just couldn't interact with it, uninstalled it and my gui worked again, so im back on firefox now.
- sslemon, on 11/18/2008, -16/+23Does it still have ActiveSux?
- Cararan, on 11/17/2008, -3/+10Not bad.
- zantos420, on 11/18/2008, -1/+8i was trying to make a case to the editorial manager who keeps telling me I *have* to support IE6 .. so I said okay I'll write a tracker and tracked 18 of my products ... starting from a month ago:
Chrome: 252 (0%)
Firefox: 11,428 (11%)
Internet Explorer 5: 7,701 (8%)
Internet Explorer 6: 29,331 (29%)
Internet Explorer 7: 29,944 (30%)
Linux Flavor: 41 (0%)
Netscape: 1,455 (1%)
Opera: 202 (0%)
Other: 10,895 (11%)
PlayStation Portable: 2 (0%)
Safari: 2,714 (3%)
Search Engine: 690,389
Unknown: 6,377 (6%)
Now I have no case to stop supporting IE6 :'( - inactive, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6at least it's better than IE 6
- Proz, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6If it's not CSS 2.1 compliant, yes.
- JasonCox, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6Yes, just like for Firefox, there's an addon.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 11/18/2008, -1/+7Actually be a part of the industry and you would know the jargon. Yes, to a layman "hack" means an exploit or accessing computers illegally. But in the actual industry, a hack can refer to something that is done with the intention of being cumbersome, non-standard or a work around that should have an elegant solution but at the moment is garbage.
- renegadeafk, on 11/18/2008, -2/+8ie7pro (also works with ie8) has a good adblocker.
- jrbrewin, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6i love how most people commenting here haven't even tried IE8 beta 1, let alone 2. They don't know jack about what's being done to the core 'technologies' in IE, its security, its standards compliance, or anything else for that matter.
take one example, You say Chrome's great because it has stuff in there to prevent a bug in a tab taking down the whole browser, that's better than IE. I say, IE8 had that first!
Competition IS good, even if it's bad competition. Firefox would not exist if it weren't for IE's perceived poor standards compliancy, security, lack of exstensbility, etc. But its swing's and roundabouts, the IE8 team really have changed a lot of the things which gave IE5,6,7 a bad name. They still have a way to go, but this is a huge huge step in the right direction, and whether the "I AINT NOT NEVER TRYIN' IE AGAIN" parade have the guts to stand up and admit it or not, you have to congratulate them for that, and turning the tide at microsoft. - ethana2, on 11/18/2008, -3/+9If you never click on them, you're not doing anyone any good.
I say non-text ads can just die, I'm not going to pay for bandwidth to download ads I don't want to see; heck if there's no other reason to block them, that's it. - Phen, on 11/18/2008, -9/+14This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota FAIL
- computershack, on 11/18/2008, -1/+6Safari, full of security holes... So what if it can display a single picture on a single website when others can't? It's no good if it has massive holes in its security.
- stewlava, on 11/18/2008, -1/+6dugg for the mental view
- fak3r, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5^ comment FAIL ^
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -2/+7I also lost the game. And now so did you.
- raydeen, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5It sucks and blows at the same time. Much like a vacuum.
- benologist, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4I wonder how much better the community would be if all the school kids and ***** didn't want to pay $5 to be idiots.
- utinam, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5Yup, not nearly as many or well-advertised, but I have a few installed on my IE8--an ad-blocker, for example.
- saketome, on 11/18/2008, -3/+7I too, lost the game. I can haz hugs? :(
- drex8, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5I like Google Textual ads and still image ads better than the Flash or the gif based ones. Moving ads are really irritating sometimes, and gets in the way of reading the content of the page.
Some Flash ads are just plain annoying too. Sometimes if your mouse happens to hover over them, they cover up half the page and starts doing jumping jack *****. -
