TheScotsman Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yep, they did it to us again... microshafty explorer 8beta is available. It's great, (read with all intended sarcasm) It doesn't seem to have the remotest ability to handle any form of spacing other than to endlessly wrap text in a single line.

Bulldog_916 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Browsers are business. Security is a huge part of the equation. Bad browser craftsmanship is a sure way to get your company a huge security hole. Last thing you need is to have to deploy your whole IT department to try and roll back internet explorer because Microsludge decided to put out a buggy browser.

gaia.plateau Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 You're looney for even having expectations.Explorer 1-7 were trash... why would 8 be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizaNabi Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I noticed the same "Spacer" problem sometimes with Mic. 8Beta 2, but nothing else. I'm happy with it, and tried others before deciding on MICROSOFT. Besides,Uncle Billy is my mother's younger brother and I have to keep him smiling.

ashes87 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ive never been a fan of IE, which is why I love Firefox, never had any problems with it.Havent had the chance to try Chrome yet but I havent heard all that much about it so Ive just been a little leery of trying it out.

Actually, forget that question: does it have adblock+?It does indeed have plugins/addons, just not that many right now as far as I know. http://www.mychromeaddons.com/As far as using Adblock+, not sure. But I'm positive there will be something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebzen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Just gonna throw one out there, Opera, the great Norwegian web browser. I've been using it for a long time now and I just love it. Also you gotta give em kudos for messing with the homepage of MS Explorer (when viewed through their browser), making every other word come out as bork, a tribute to the great culinary artist known as; The Swedish Chef.

dafunk5446 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm not very into computers, I am one of those people who couldn't tell you how much memory I have or what systems I am running. After seeing this thread I decided to try out firefox.......WOW SO MUCH BETTER THEN IE! I can actually have a tab open and not have my computer crash, its a freakin miracle!

kbCorruption Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I can't believe anyone is still using I.E. It is one of the first things I delete on a fresh install. Mozilla, Pearl, hell Chrome, anything is better than I.E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
