firefox and this site is crap with firefox.

I see very few differences in a side-by-side comparison, could you be more specific?


sure

  1. I can't copy quote boxes.
  2. I can't delete quote boxes.

That is more than enough for me.

and after that I have a sig I can't change because when I press edit profile the old profile isn't there, but that doesn't work on IE either.


 Ah, perhaps this is part of the reason I hate the rich text reply...

Well damn. :)

You can delete quote boxes though by clicking on the quote box, then choosing "remove column" or "remove row" from the buttons above.  But yeah, not with the Delete key.

Personally, I think they choose not to conform to the standard on purpose, as a way of keeping market share.


 See... now I think your starting to understand why I hate IE because it's Microsoft... The same goes for all MS Products.



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

Edit: 

In terms of standards compliance, Opera is the only browser that can (closely) accurately render and pass the Acid2 test set up by the Web Standards Project:

http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/

http://www.webstandards.org/2006/07/20/acid2-and-opera-9-clarifications/

It is the most standards-compliant browser as it follows the W3C guidelines to a T.

These are reasons that developers should embrace because IE's atrocious lack of standards compliance vs its browser domination means extra work for everyone who creates web applications because they are forced to write hacks and exception codes for IE. Therefore:

Opera > Firefox > IE > Safari

In terms of features, you can't beat Firefox with its extensive library of plugins that extend the functionalities of your browser (you can turn it into an FTP client, for example).

Come on. Safari for Windows (and probably Mac as well when pitted against Opera or Firefox) a joke by modern browser standards:

your mother hit the nail on the head. and i dont believe any other browser has anything quite like Opera's "mouse gestures". These are the reason I fell in love with Opera, they make things so smooth and easy its incredible.

Firefox. I used to use safari until quite recently, but I decided I couldn't live without Adblock anymore.
