  • Kostik, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Firefox sux, no digg
  • CritCol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sure, this story has been reported earlier, but this is Forbes reporting it this time and worthy.

    Dugg.
  • Crazyguy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Hey Kostik,
    What is your problem with FireFox?
  • chrisnetonline, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wtf at the writer saying, "It's just one minor battle in a war it likely won't win..."?!
  • GeekyGirl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a great example of the open source application leading in innovation while proprietary applications follow.
  • yellohut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2last week called...
    it wants its story back.
  • 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I guess when you make a mediocre browser you have to take you victories where you can. Now if they'd just fix Firefox to where it will actually display web content instead of whining that the web content isn't made for Firefox.
  • WalterDirt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0browser wars are sooo 1996
  • llbbl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox RULES . dug
  • MeridianBlade, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0OMG! this might be so freaking cool if I didnt read about this on digg last week, or if firefox didnt suck...
  • ender52, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0+Digg for Firefox.
  • DKasler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0OMG RLY???

    I didnt just read this in 6 other Digg posts last week??

    DUP...
  • crapiolio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Old news, but Forbes can be tusted more.
  • crackdbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1firefox sucks sooo much, i can't even get viruses just from using it. And why can't I get all my spyware with the great ease internet explorer provides?

  • nihilator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox is cool, but it's not THAT great. It still won't display 50% of the sites I NEED to use.

    When I try to print from Google Maps using Firefox, the results are bad.
  • 68kMac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just because Slashdot just duped this story, you don't have to post it here again for the umpteenth time ...
  • ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whats the victory here? They just agreed on a standard icon for rss. Its an just an icon for petes sake.
  • Kiltak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox is great, if it doesnt display 50% of the site you use, it's probably because they don't respect web stadards.
  • tyrant77, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0you know what you "this is sooo last week" guys, maybe the story slipped past some people or it wouldnt get dugg, how about you ***** SKIP IT & move on to another story for which you will bitch about! K
  • Chango_Family, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>but unlike in Firefox, IE7 users will not be able
    >to read a list of each feed's headlines.

    I guess these were the same people who probably had to be convinced that a subject line for emails was important too.

    Way to keep up your legendary functionality Microsoft.
  • halc5s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well it is nice to see MS settling on a standard I hardly call this a victory for anything but RSS. If anything others should be scared, MS following standards my bring back some of the market share it is losing in the browser arena. Now if they could improve security and speed up patch releases when vulnerabilites are found, FF would really have to worry ;)
  • Phoenixfury, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sorry for going off topic, but this is for the guy that said Firefox doesn't work on half the sites he needs. There's a great Firefox extension called IE Tab that can help you with this problem. This lets you use the actual IE render-er with in Firefox for those pages Firefox can't do well due to things like ActiveX or any other proprietary IE code. This is great because I do use There and There only works on IE. Now I don't need to launch IE just so I can play on There. I can just get to it straight from Firefox. It rocks!

    Now back on subject. I do find this move a little surprising as IE is obviously a rival to Firefox. Maybe they feel if IE looked and felt like Firefox that it might woo some converts back to IE? I doubt something as simple as the RSS icon alone would be enough to do that.
  • hexix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So we're ripping off Slashdot's dupes too now?
  • Geekforlife, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I realize it is old news but I thought it was interesting that Forbs picked up on it.Why comment, just don't digg it.
  • Geekforlife, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am always shocked when someone says firefox sucks, they just don't have a clue.....
  • Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox 1.5 displays 95% of the sites I use...Make sure you install flash through firefox and your using the latest version :P
  • Kostik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox just hasn't that feeling of sliiiiding over the web. IE does.
