Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Post here what you dislike about internet browsers. I'll start.

Opera.
1. Can't scroll wheel click on home to open home in a new tab. Same goes for back button.
2. The annoying red menu button.
3. No ad block app.

Internet Explorer.
1. Everything.

Opera looks like chrome+bulk
Rockmelt IS chrome+bulk
Firefox(4) looks like opera
Ie is slow
Firefox can turn into oldtype IE with all the toolbars everywhere
Opera **** resources
Chrome **** resources
That people think opera is good because it can do other stuff that a browser shouldn't do(music player, torrent, etc).

Chrome = Fast with a tidy interface
Opera = Fast but with unnecessary clutter, the red button being a general waste-of-space
Firefox = Opera clone with a few small changes
IE = Slow with a cluttered interface
Safari = Apple's version of IE, interface is a bit tidier though still slow

Click the button in my sig and follow instructions to find out what I love about opera.....
@buttonhater: Opera's button saves space, not wastes it on a completely separate toolbar like firefox.

Internet Explorer: Slow, sometimes homepage won't work for me, refresh is small and in an odd position, can't use forecastfox (lol), *6 years later* ...isn't google chrome, isn't firefox, isn't opera, too many popups, laggy.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

IE: ENDLESS. FREAKING. ADDON. BARS., No spell check
Firefox: Placement of tabs, lack of omnibar (Even IE has it now), inability to search history when entering a web address
Chrome: Some apps don't start correctly on startup, most apps have a mandatory addon image, lack of ability to create new line (for addons and such), lack of search through history, difficulty to create custom theme

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

1. This makes the screen smaller, and clashes with most pages. Removing costs functionality. To use any of these things it takes up more screen realestate.
2. This is completely useless, you already have bookmarks on the side, the 'top 10' should be in your bookmarks, and there is already a home button.
3. Inconsistency. Search bar in the new tab page is irrelevant considering there's a google search on every page
4. Don't need the bar on the right, it even says the left bar can search.
5. Why?
6. Just go fast on your own, who is going to use the browser with speed off?(And, if someone doesn't know about turbo, than sucks for them, as opera is slower than internet explorer without).
7. This whole bar makes the page smaller, and you don't need any of this stuff. It would work better if the buttons just overlapped on the page instead of the ugly bar.
8. Would work better with top visited pages, both for laziness reasons and redundancy. It's essentially a bookmark list, where if this page were 'most visited' this page would not be so pointless.
9. this button is ugly, stick it on the same row as the url bar.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

1. There's a button to hide it.
2. That's not even there by default. You have to add that.
3. You can remove the one in the address bar. It's fully customizable. You can add any button you want there.
4. You can remove the one on the right. Just right click and click customize.
5. Why bother going through menus looking for it later? Anyway you can remove it if you want.
6. Is not. I never use turbo and it still runs a heck of a lot faster than IE.
7. And? Firefox has it, too. Just another place to add your favorite buttons and settings.
8. You can set those to whatever you want so it can be your most visited pages.
9. Change the skin or change the settings to remove the button and replace it with the classic menu toolbar.

My least favorite thing about Opera is that every time Different posts something, it's an advertisement for Opera.

>have to change things
Thats the problem, this was a clean install of opera I did awhile ago for web design purposes, and I haven't touched one setting, and it looks like this.
I want things to look decent out of the box.

With Firefox there is no work and it's already great.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Not trying to be deep. Trying to find quotes online isn't working for me so I'm taking bits and pieces from every book I've ever read. Eg "death and mayhem will shortly follow" The entire sentence from the book Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex reads "'Cheer up, old friend. Death and mayhem will shortly follow,' he longed to call. But for now he had to satisfy himself with the wink."

So I actually didn't do a thing. Orson scott card, Eoin Colfer, Rudyard Kipling, and a thousand other writers did. I can't write a paragraph that gets better than a "C+" at school.

Remember, I'm ADHD. ADHD ppl don't do deep stuff (I'm sure there are ADHD deep ppl somwer). We do freaking awesome epic squeediddlydee stuff.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Oh, god. My job is Web Development so I have to deal with this stuff all day. Where do I start?

Internet Explorer: No respect for W3C standards, only now adopting advanced features like canvas and CSS3 because all the other browsers are gaining so much ground. Stupefyingly slow Javascript engine. Inferior developer tool suite/javascript debugger. Internet Explorer 6 is still used by a substantial portion of the business sector, and IE6 is a fricking nightmare.

Firefox: Takes for-freaking-ever to start up. Employs non-standard CSS markup for corner-rounding and other things. Interprets line breaks as DOM nodes, which I have to code around in my jQuery scripts.

Safari: Monochrome interface is ugly and disorienting. Tries to impose iTunes and Quicktime on you every time you upgrade. Funky, inconsistent interpretation of layouts at times.

Chrome: Doesn't have a decent RoboForm plugin. Unsecure saving of passwords. Ditto to funky, inconsistent layout interpretation (both Safari and Chrome use the Webkit rendering engine). Other than that, I love Chrome. It's my favorite.

Opera: What is Opera? Such a small market share that I don't even test my work against it. I don't even have a copy of it anymore. Poor Opera.
