Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Well unlike Chrome or Firefox or ANYTHING else, Opera actually comes in a box. You download it and its a box. Double click it and it installs.

YOU LIE!:mad:

While downloading (yes, I downloaded opera with opera.)

After downloaded:

Looks like box to me.

Reason I don't like Opera: Different55 kept trying to persuade me to download it.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

I personally like chrome the best because it's so clean and simple, but my computer decided to not let me use it so I use opera.

Opera is equally efficient, but bulkier with more buttons. ALSO: Idk if it's me, but the scrolling on opera sucks.

I like Opera and Google Chrome because of the auto-fill url and Google search built in to the address bar.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Typing Error 1927

I think it just got real in here.

Ugh. Now I remember why I stopped using Opera as my browser of choice.

Sometimes I am unable to select a textarea with my mouse, as if the browser just refuses to recognize the field as a textarea. It's happened to me on both PC and Mac, 7 years ago, 2 years ago, and today. They. Will. Not. Fix. This. Bug.

Opera has killer numbers in benchmark tests; It's one of the best with page rendering and Javascript. It was the first browser to pass the Acid3 Test, something that IE9 and Firefox 4.0 still can't do. But it's just irritating as hell when that textarea bug shows up.

My browsers of choice: Chrome for normal web use. Firefox + Firebug for web development. IE when I have no choice (intranet apps at work).

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Krazyman, that's depressing D:

And I noticed one more thing with opera that I haven't noticed with others: If you don't move your mouse around it takes longer to load.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Am i the only one who doesn't hate IE?
I dont think its that bad, stuff loaded for me as fast as google chrome, i never got any addon bars etc...
Stuff downloaded fast.
I still prefer chrome though.
Although one thing I prefer about IE is from IE i could directly save to whatever folder i wanted, chrome just puts them in some random folder in my computer -.-
Actually 2 things, spell check. As much as I love it when I need to write properly, it annoys me because most the time i don't need to so highlighting my words in red is just really annoying.
Wait, i can turn that off right?
I dont like firefox, its just... ergh.

Possibly.

I hate it because it's terrible to develop for, it's always behind the curve of what the other browsers are doing, and so many people believe that IE and the Internet are synonymous because it comes prepackaged with Windows so they don't even know of the superior options.

They could've (probably, just needed to make it fit with the new firmware) but they just don't think sometimes...

uninstall firefox.
reinstall firefox.
???
profit.

IE is horrible because it doesn't support tons of things in web design, mainly lots of fun things in CSS3, which means, you must sacrifice features just to support people using an inferior browser(and ie has such a ridiculous share of browser usage, so you can't just stop supporting it).

Really, the fact that not all browsers support direct standards for CSS and javascript really bothers me.

Two words for you on how to go wrong with choosing a web browser:

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

Here's a big gripe with Firefox that I just remembered today: Firefox is a memory hog! I had a total of 2 tabs open, and Firefox was using 180 megs of RAM. They claim this is for their caching feature, but that doesn't make it right.

...and God help you if you're using a complex web app. It would be offensive and obscene to post how much RAM Firefox needed for the Sitecore developer desktop.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

WOW. I just had to check to make sure you wrote 180 instead of something else. Once I had 73 tabs open (no joke, ask ameobaman. I can provide screenies that I took earlier as proof) and Opera was using 300MB. Yeah, I know, it's a lot of tabs. I was looking at a lot of animated gifs. Looking for stuff for my signature. Right now I'm on firefox with 14 tabs open and it's only using 200MB. One of those tabs is a memory sucking flash game. But I don't think this is the latest version of firefox, so it might be that firefox got worse after the update.

Internet Explorer.
1. Everything.

That
Iron: doesn't load EE always.

If I were to rank browsers I'd say
Chrome>opera>firefox>IE>safari

I wouldn't, because I would say
Firefox>Iron>Google Chrome>Opera>IE>Safari

Nobody cares what you think, Gamer

I do... *starts crying for mummy*
Also, new ranks (since IE9 came out):
Firefox>IE9>Iron>Chrome>Opera>Safari

IE9 before Chrome? Hell no, you're screwed up in the head. IE should never be before anything, perhaps safari.

Also, WTF is Iron?

Opera:
Turbo breaks image quality, not usining it is better.
No IDs, anywhere.

Chrome:
Annoying never-clearing cluttering most visited page.

Firefox: No cool-top-of-tha-window like in opera or chrome for XP.

IE: Slow as heck, looks awfull.

I Googled it. Iron is Chrome for paranoid people. :rolleyes:

They're both Chromium-based, so I assume the user doesn't see much difference in the UI.

By the way, there are only four major rendering engines for desktop browsers:

Trident: Internet Explorer
Gecko: Firefox
Presto: Opera
Webkit*: Safari; Chrome

*Webkit is a fork of KHTML, but I don't know of too many KDE/Konqueror users in this world.

There are actually dozens of desktop web browsers today, but [virtually] all of them are based on one of those four rendering engines, so the obscure browsers are pretty pointless.

Re: Things you dislike about internet browsers...

IE9 still has that notorious slow feel to it, though it's a much-needed improvement.
