Maybe you got different settings on? The OS i have is vista ultimate. Maybe that changes something in the GUI.

Am i the only one who doesn't use third party software, but instead uses lovely ol' IE7?

It suits my needs excellently.

Probably

If even a open-source crazy fundamentalist like kevlarman agrees on this, I think the guy has a point.

No

Its people that use IE that have been keeping microsoft feeling like they could just keep screwing up the standards. Thank goodness they are taking a step in the right direction with 8... I didn't used to hate IE so bad until I started building websites and realizing how oblivious it was. Now i just build standards complient sites and if you use a non complient IE you are SOL... That is the way the net SHOULD be. (Waits patiently for CSS3)

I use firefox... but it does horrible horrible things sometimes.. I hope 3 fixes more in the not eating up my processor and memory department than the 1 to 2 upgrade did.
Opera isn't bad either.

I took my information on an article on Clubic.com
http://www.clubic.com/article-65217-1-internet-explorer-firefox-opera-match.html

It's in french, so actually a big part of you wont understand but here what they come with the loading of one web page (Firefox, IE and Opera)

Javascript Test

And browser startup
(Red: First startup ... Blue: Second Startup)

Memory occupation
(Red: in front of you... Blue: reduced page)

And a lot more test...

Sorry for double post, but it's not related to my last post...

Glowing letters are shitty with Opera

Woohoo! Glad to see also that IE7 uses the least memory when not in use. Although it sucks a lot at other stuff =[

could it possibly be, gentlemen, that the popularity of these browsers to one person is personal opinion and the desire to get what bests suits them?

techhead · « **Reply #48 on:** April 13, 2008, 10:49:20 pm »

Glowing letters are apparently non-compliant with standard HTML.
They look bad in every browser EXCEPT Internet Explorer.
(Safari and Firefox letters look exactly like Opera letters)

CSS3= end of images for rounded corners, shadows, and gradients.

As for FF3 fixing a lot, it does, but not as much as it should. Opera is still faster and lighter.

No, it's mostly based in incorrect information and open-source zealotry. In the minds of most open-source zealots, Opera is deemed inferior merely because it's closed source. Internet Explorer users mostly don't know better or do not have the option to switch browsers. Mac users are weird alltogether, they got Safari :>

Her3tic · « **Reply #51 on:** April 14, 2008, 02:53:20 am »

So they're nothing to do with those Ugly Glowing stuff?

So we are Dooomed to see it really badly...

I post these information about these three browser only to inform people, not to urge them to switch to Opera

Atom Eve · « **Reply #52 on:** April 14, 2008, 03:02:05 am »

Glowing letters are annoying, anyway.

CreatureofHell · « **Reply #53 on:** April 14, 2008, 03:54:44 pm »

nah, glowing letters are fun

Tremulant · « **Reply #54 on:** April 14, 2008, 04:50:53 pm »

I had no idea all those passages of text plastered around the forums with background colours were supposed to be "glowing text", how horrible. From the IE screenshot It looks rather hackish, but then i suppose it's quicker to put glowing halos around non AA text, even if all other text on the page happens to be AA.

Atom Eve · « **Reply #55 on:** April 14, 2008, 04:56:24 pm »

Sure, you're missing out on the ugly glowing letters, but then just think of the plethora of shit that IE has troubles rendering that FF and Opera pass by with flying colors.

Tremulant · « **Reply #56 on:** April 14, 2008, 06:23:35 pm »

Just so all of us non-IE browser users can see what astonishing awesomeness we're missing out on.

But Opera keep improving their browser frequently, there is always a new version of it when i look. Of course it's not like an Open Source, but at least, it improve.
