Leave it to AOL to mess something good up!! Sorry to anyone who likes AOL... It just doesn't make sense to take something so good as firefox, and then add some quarky dual dispaly engine to it. The whole point of firefox is a replacement that is more secure. Switching back and forth makes no sense.
If pages don't display right in firefox that's because the authors of the page are using un-official non-supported tags or errors in syntax that IE tolerates and has thus caused a "poluted" web of bad coding. The die-hard IE people I'll never understand. IE is not user-friendly and lets so much crap come into your computer. It blows my mind that MS thought that it would be cool to offer up these ablilties and thought that no one would use them for harm! Then what's even more funnier is MS came out with their own spyware scan software. Which I haven't seen it pick up anything yet on infected computers... Instead of MS making their browswer secure, they release something to constantly clean your system.
People have to scan for viruses. Why would we want to scan for spyware everyday now too? We shouldn't have to, the browsers should be built correctly. I don't even have to scan for viruses because I don't randomly open attachments or download files and run them...
But back to AOL... Just doesn't make sense. Why even bother with firefox if you are going to still use the IE engine part of the time? The whole point is to get away from IE... That would be like a bank keeping the safe unlocked and un-guarded everytime a "trustworthy" person walked into the bank. Then locking it up everytime someone "suspecious" walked in... Just doesn't make sense..
Let's not get started on the AOL system fix feature or whatever. That has screwed up so many computers I've worked on.. yeessh!!
I'll stick with pure FireFox. The Netscape name no longer has quality assocaited with it. I did miss Netscape since 1.0/2.0/3.0 days, but now that there is FireFox I can once again enjoy sufing the web conviently and fast... I hope FireFox stays around forever now and doesn't get taken over by people who don't know what they are doing!!!
Hmm I think I typed too much again.. I'll see after I press "Continue" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
