| Browser War Crap - Why can't we have one standard? |
| 04.19.04 (4:56 am) |
I run Linux and Windows. I use a number of different browsers, and believe me, without a doubt, the best and fastest browser is Firefox (the next generation of Mozilla). Opera isn't bad, and neither is Mozilla itself. I think Nutscrape has become somewhat obsolete and bloated. :( It used to be my favourite browser, until you had to register and have an email address and until it started crashing, and and and ... anyway.
The one thing that irks me, is this stupid Microsoft browser. It doesn't have a download manager (although the next version apparently will), it doesn't have a decent password utility, it doesn't have tabbed browsing, it doesn't have a pop up blocker, and there are many other things that I've come to appreciate as standard in many other browsers, that IE just doesn't have... but:
It works better on tblog (just click the italic link in Netscape or Firefox and see all your characters go CAPITAL and you know what I mean), it works better on my photosite (I can drag and drop), it understands a few more tags (like filters, for instance, which I use quite often) and it has Pluck.
It's fine when you have a choice, but when you run Linux you have no choice (I assume it's similar on Apples). Why can't we just have one standard for all browsers, and stick to it. :roll:

Hey Word, what do you run on linux-- Netscape?? I've been using the free with ads opera and I like it better than mozilla for web surfing, but I've not checked out firefox yet. Mozilla has surpassed Netscape on windows anyway, so I'm looking foward to checking out firefox-- is it stable and fully functional?
Great blog btw.

Right now, I run Mozilla Navigator, since that came with my install. I used Konqueror, too, that's not too bad for general browsing.
