Why don't you use Opera?

A: 4)
It might be only a few bits and bytes, however. It now has put more rubbish on my harddisk, which I dislike.

All your bookmarks are in ONE file, bookmarks.dat, which exists even if you have no bookmarks at all. So there is no rubbish.

It is simple: Opera is the superiour browser, and software of choice for managment, IT and hot babes! Ha, beat that

I know, it is in one file.

But I now have 2 different bookmark files, one for FF and 1 for Opera...
Where the Opera one is the same as to the FF one... adn it requires more space then when it is empty...

4) It got your bookmarks, so what? You're complainng it was helpful?

That was chuckle-worthy

Sorry, I understand people have preferences, but those complaints are just not valid!

Thats why I don't like discussions like this - no matter the good intentions, they always twist around to "mine is better".

I've said it before, I had problems with IE, so I thought "hey, FF might be worth a go". Until I have a problem with FF, I have no reason to uproot myself and go use Opera, no matter how much better it may be. However, it's nice to read that it IS a comparitly good tool, so that if/when I have a problem with FF, my options are open to me.

So, thanks Steve. Who knows when this new knowledge may help me .

Btw, here is a very nice example why all you IE LOVERS :puke: should go to FF/Opera!

You can clearly see which browsers do follow the standards and which don't

(in FF some corners show up rounded cuz I am using -moz-border-radius in the stylesheet...)

That's quite a minor problem from some I've come across.
We were making a survey, which had speech-bubble style paragraphs at the top, 4 of them in 2 columns. FF and Opera were fine, IE however, decided to make the top of a 5th bubble in the second column. It created another element from scratch and drew it on the screen. This isn't following standards, this is just a bug. So the clever users on Opera anf FF have to suffer.

The reason I quoted you is your use of the -moz-border-radius attribute. I don't understand why Firefox has such tags, as these styles are part of CSS 3 and surely it's sensible to support the actual CSS now, rather than change things later?

As for your JS/Image issue, I don't understand what the problem is with the page, as Opera doesn't have speed issues like that on any other page I've tried. I presume you've coded something to generate the images? In which case it seems to oddly favour FF and IE.

yes, images are generated by a GD2 script

Code: Select all

	function gd2_out(){
		header("Content-type: image/png");
		
		$im = imagecreatetruecolor(($this->dim->x*$this->parsed_list[0])/$this->parsed_list[1],$this->dim->y);
		imagefill($im,0,0,$this->gd2_get_color($im,$this->bgcolor));
		$im2 = $this->gd2_LoadJpeg("Census_Bar-1.jpg");
		imagecopymerge($im,$im2,0,0,0,0,($this->dim->x*$this->parsed_list[0])/$this->parsed_list[1],$this->dim->y,100);
		
		imagepng($im);
		imagedestroy($im);
	}

See, no FF/O/IE favoring things there
BUt ohwell, meh, bit off-topic I guess

Opera (http://www.opera.com/) is an excellent cross-platform browser that has proven itself to be the fastest web browser on the market.* My question, is why you don't use it?

What?
