Am I a Internet Explorer hater; No, but close. Consider This: If you have ever worked on a design or a particular cool feature for your web application and all went well people loved it and even your boss loved it. All to find out the ##*@@ IE, dosen’t work the way you expect. Knowing myself well I wouldn’t even bother. However we live in a strange world where inspite of the best avilable browsers being free, we still use IE. I am a big fan of Firefox, yes Opera and Safari are also really great.
Guys please provide your comments so that we can compel "them" to swith from the dark side .
Why hate applications like MS-IE??
do you have an particular reason to hate a certain application other than buggy/faulty coding?? Mind that if you plan to have features that may cause small problems, code for the apps witch the majority of people use first, and perfect, tune and refine your work; and you will have a produce that works in hyper-comercial MS-IE and that blows your boss's hairpiece in a totally new way (...bad joke, hehe.) The only problem is knowing how to proof beyond absolute doubt that, in case of webbrowsers, firefox/mozilla projects is better at what they are designed for: browsing the net, providing a good, safe and reliable work environment, for every group of users. sadly MSIE is still a nescesary application in windows environments, for different reasons.
@ MSIE
Safety is the one thing which comes to my mind when i think of Mozilla Firefox. The customizing power is simply awsum.. :) On the other side, Opera is quite Ok, but IE 7 has serious problems. Though they introduced tabbed browsing in that, it always crashes and suffers with virus problem and spywares!
I think the MS is trying hard on IE 8 now, to return back into the market, but still the IE 8 beta 2 has serious problems ! :-)
