So that you end your week with something really amusing, I had to share this story I found at CyberNet as it concerns Microsoft’s new browser comparison or “fact” sheet.
So we are to believe that Firefox and Chrome are both insecure, difficult to use, and unreliable? The Internet Explorer team might want to check their calendars, because last time I checked – it is June 26th, not April 1st.
If that isn’t enough – they also have a MythBusting page. What is your favorite “fact” they are claiming?
Firefox CalendarsI always hate this time of year because I wait till the last minute to find a new calendar.
I like to have a less than digital one so that I can write dates and important information on it.
Mozilla Starts on Firefox 3Didn’t we just get Firefox 2 out the door? It looks like Firefox 3 is showing a lot of promise for radically new features and improvements to the Firefox browser.
Among the features Mozilla wants for Firefox 3.0
Firefox 2 RoadmapNow digging through this information to find out what is coming to our favorite browser might now be the most fun thing you can do with your Friday morning. The Mozilla team has updated the Firefox 2 Roadmap with
What a joke!
Agree… fully!!!
“Web Standards” :D what a joke!
The new compatibility mode is fun :) I can see same site broken in 2 different ways.
haha really?!
íts so laughable that i cant say nothing rational or obvious :)
WEB STANDARDS… WEB STANDARDS! How can they claim to be the best? I am a devoted FireFox user and Web Developer and i can safley say that Opera has the best web standards! What are they comparing the compliancy to? IE6? Dont make me laugh. All the features the new IE8 has have been stolen from one browser or another, they are way behind. Tabs = Copied, Domain highlighting = Copied, Crash Control = Copied, Independent tabs = Copied. And the list goes on!
And the fact that it blocks more malware…. THAT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY HOLES IN IE AND LESS IN ANY OTHER BROWSER THAT YOU HAVE TI TRY EXTRA HARD TO BLOCK IT WHEN IT! Most that malware dosent effect other browsers!
If you ask me you should bust ALL theese myths, it wont be hard cos they are all a bag of crap!
One word – HA!
As funny as the fact chart is, my favorite is on the myth busting page. It says
“Myth #3: Firefox is a richer, more adaptable browser than Internet Explorer.”
The “truth” is that “Internet Explorer 8 has much more functionality than other browsers…. Did you know that there are more than 1,700 Internet Explorer 8 add-ons available at the Add-ons Gallery”
I knew this wasn’t true, so I went to the Firefox addons site to find out how many they have, and I found this:
“153,906,262 [individual] add-ons in use”
Explain that, Microsoft!
Oh it’s web standards compliant is it? then why does that page need this:
