  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'll take anything but IE:

* More security holes than all other browsers put together
* There is, indeed, the marquee tag. That's a *bug*, not a feature
* Supports one of the most consistently evil entities in the physical world

To add to seebs list of IE negatives:
* No tabbed browsing
* No mouse gestures
* No pop-up window killing
* Huge download and program size

Safari for the Mac is emerging as a pretty good browser -- it was rather buggy in version Beta v48 (including a nasty bug where /tmp would be deleted, causing all kinds of problems), but as of beta v60 many of these issues are fixed and it appears to be working with more and more pages with each release. It's also only a 2.7 meg download. I think that Safari 1.0 will be quite good (they are supposedly adding tabbed browsing as well).

I don't use tabbed browsing. I'm running X on NetBSD, and I use a window manager called pwm that does tabbed *whole windows*. So, however many Mozilla windows I have open, any Mozilla navigator window will be in the same "frame". I have a single full-screen frame (I use virtual desktops), and thus, I have about 1588x1100 pixels of web browser display. Mmm. Smoooth and silky. (I have Mozilla's "minimum font size" set to 18 points.)

I don't use windows so no IE for me but I can tell you as a developer that most of the annoying issues I come across are trying to get HTML to render correctly in IE because MS doesn't like the w3c standard.

Either way, it's always good to have more than one browser installed on your machine. That way when IE crashes you can launch another.

In Linux I have Mozilla and Konqueror. Mozilla is great, love tabbed browsing for sure, renders neatly and is configurable. Today I came across a cookie bug in Mozilla, switched to Konqueror and no prob. Second browser's are handy.

Of course I use lynx to see what pages look like on other devices, or as parsed by a search engine. I also use wget for diagnostics and cache control.

With over 200 currently active browser projects it's hard to nail it down!

*uses Opera*

I have no problems with it - But unless a websites Code is definantly the w3c standard, it wont display as it would in other browsers, due to quite a lot of people just using IE, so website designers just go and design there site for IE, which sucks :(
