an ode to firefox

[serpentesse]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
My site finally works in IE 5!

I really hate IE 5. It makes my life more complicated than it should ever be. Why? Let me count the ways...
But if you're too lazy to click on the links, it really boils down to the following:

It's an insecure browser, meaning that it's easier for spyware and malware to access your computer.

wtf ie 5 is the most popular browser? i talk to clients who have windows updates sitting in their toolbar ready to be installed every day and never once have i seen anyone with ie5... this is insanity :S

[serpentesse]

I kid you not. I found this on Wikipedia to clarify. Most people I know are seemingly not tech savvy. Maybe it's not IE 5, but it's some form or another of IE... which is still craptacular anyway.

do you really have to support IE 5? i think even MS has abandoned it with win98

[rgm1984]

Absolutely. I like Firefox and I like what it features and protects you from.

Firefox though, from what I've heard has a huge memory leak, whores your resources and is prone to being incompatible with sites that are IE only. You can download a plug-in that I guess..can load IE-only sites in a seperate window but, I heard that is prone to crashing.

[serpentesse]

It certainly IS a huge memory freak.
And yes, I actually happen to have the plugin that can load the sites in IE in a separate tab. It saves me time - I don't have to open the actual program itself when designing a site.
