Frustrations & Internet & Windows Daantje on 16 Feb 2005
Use Firefox!
Please, take a look at a Mozilla based browser like Firefox or Netscape. There are several reasons for you why. MSIE is not RFC compliant, several normal HTML, DHTML, CSS2 and JavaScript methods don’t work or does something different than it should do when MSIE is RFC compliant. An other thing is that MSIE is loaded with bug and security issues. And we’re still waiting for Microsoft to solve those. Most of the Mozilla based browsers are GPL/open source projects. That means that the geeks and hackers can view the source and find bugs and security holes faster and solve the problem with a patch, wich can be mailed back to the project developers, so they can implement it.
We webdevelopers are now building for every site two versions of the layout, one for normal browsers and one for MSIE, just because Microsoft thinks that RFC stands for ‘Read F*ck’n Complain’… So they don’t read those…
