Why do browsers have to be such a pain in the ass. i mean think about it, Opera doesnt show tfl properly.

Firefox screwed me over, why i dont know.

IE beta blows tabbed browsing below water. and is quite slow compared to others.

I just want a dang browser that works nicely :P


and i cant flipping get firefox to reset all settings, resolution, fonts, ect...

Use IE :P only use IE7 beta for testing it shouldn't be used as a full browser atm

I've used IE since it came out and never had any problems with it, all the rest I just use for site tests.

what happened to your firefox? Only problems I get is the settings just reset themself whenever it feels like it, which gets annoying. And also used to randomly closed but that has stopped.

FF rules :P i love Mozilla Firefox, because i use only 1 window for all my 10+ windows and it look letter. My webpages look better in FF than in IE. Some javascript elements use only IE, but i remade those functions to work in all browsers >;) (like geting mouse position on event)

i personally use opera, whats tfl that your having a problem with, i assume this is a site, and if its not showing correctly thats a coding problem, nothing else really.

You can't really bitch at Opera for not working correctly with a site. Its undoubtedly the site's design thats at fault. Opera complies with even the most rigorous of web standards test, Acid2. The only other browser that even comes close (and I think recently fully passed) was Safari 2.

Coming from someone who once had almost 10 different browsers installed on his box, you have to experiment to find which one you like best. With that said, I still use Opera and it renders what it needs to and it's very skinnable.

I.E. 7 (Final) when it's released will probably be my second browser as it is capable of rendering pages with Windows Media Player embedded in them.
