Has anyone seen Starkers lately? Had a question for him. 

he hasn't been around

I can't stand IE, as a web developer IE is the most annoying thing i have to consider every time i sit down to write some javascript or css for a site. It doesn't follow hardly any standards. It is getting better with that but it's still a pain point. If the company would allow me i'd make it so that anybody viewing the page in IE would get a completely different page... one showing the outrageous disregard for web standards and how much better the web would be if people didn't use IE at all. I mean people who are using IE don't even understand the functionality that they're missing because IE doesn't support it. So they never get it to see it in the first place, and even if you did it's because some poor developer had to slave to get it working in IE when it probably took a tenth of the time getting it to work in every other browser used on the web. So the 90/10 rule applies here. It takes 10% of the time getting it to work for 90% of the browser and 90% of the time getting it to work in IE.

But to all there own, If IE is your browser of choice then more power to you. It is unfortunately one that most business's force on there employees more then any other browser. which is a shame really

I've been told that IE10 is the first fully standards-based browser from MS and that it is highly secure.  Recommended by our tech support guy (who hates most things MS despite making a good living thanks to their ineptness) as the default for all our Win7 (business) machines.  For all other OS flavors (XP) he advises Chrome (based on its security).

Being a tweaker, I prefer to use Palemoon on my personal rigs.

never heard of palemoon, will have to try that one out.

If you've been a fan of Firefox (for the most part) and find that it's not as speedy as it used to be, I'd recommend you take a look at Pale Moon.  Pale Moon is basically the Mozilla Firefox code stripped of all the stuff that 90% of junk that most people will never use.  I also like Pale Moon because it supports nearly all of the Firefox extensions, so you get Ad-Block, etc..

Also, what is perceived as a Memory Leak in Firefox actually isn't.  Firefox will by default automatically adjust the number of history pages PER TAB.  So think of how many sites/pages you flip through (per tab) in a browsing session.  If you're like me, that's a LOT.  Making an adjustment is explained after the link and really does help address the memory problem somewhat.

I like Chrome but the inability to lock or protect pinned tabs (gmail & voice esp) kills it for me. For me, memory usage is higher with Chrome. Firefox does a much better job with extensions & plugins and overall customization.

ps. I use Tab Utilities extension to pin, lock & protect tabs as well as direct all links to open in a new tab. Lost without it.

Chrome all the way. Used firefox before, but it died to bloat. Plus Chrome supports hardware accelerated rendering (must be switched on by the config), which is super fast. 

As for IE 10, it's Windows 8 only at present, and I am not going that way. Windows 7 is a perfect gaming OS, and I do all my work in Linux. 

I have IE10 currently running on several Win7 machines.

Nope, sorry.

Dang, Daiwa, I was too slow...lol.

I don't like IE10 for 7 with WC.co m, but otherwise, it's ok.

The 64-bit distinction is important so good RND posted the purdy pic.

RnD...still not using the shape tool.

Just realized how to get him motivated.

LOL at Doc. I agree. That's putting the sheep into Photosheep!  (I think he circled that using his toes)

"Photosheep- The Redneck Edition".  

FYI, that was the snipping tool.

I was giving Bessie a good shearing...

Sheer nonsense. Stop trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

Wow, Palemoon is cool, its slightly faster, but i still get the issue where most of Youtube's images are missing and just white.

EDIT:

AdblockPlus was blocking Youtube's main image code at my request...oops.

..fairly straight forward, you think...

use both.

eg.. i use ff normally with noscript and all. that doesn't work with certain googledocs.. so.. i use chrome for that

I quit using IE8 for Firefox along time ago, and other than the memory leaks, I love it. I like Firefox's add-ons and personas, though I need to see about trying AdBlock Plus. I tried Chrome, but it seems too simplistic to me. About the only reason I would reinstall Chrome is to test website compatibility. I would give IE9 and/or 10 a try, but Microsoft doesn't seem to want XP users such as myself to have a browser comparable to Firefox and Chrome, I still use XP on a daily basis.

Palemoon includes an importer for all your FF stuff.

Unless your not on windows, then no Pale Moon for you.(Win. only clone)
