laso Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm a webdeveloper and I can assure you, you don't want to support IE6. IE7 is unlikely to be better either, read the following to find out why.Get FireFox.This is no fanboy ranting, but the honest truth:° FireFox has 21 less critical vulnerabilities, compared to IE6's 84 Highly critical vulnerabilities.° FireFox will always be safer than IE6 for the simple reason that more people use Internet Explorer, which makes IE the bigger target for hackers.° FireFox displays pages correctly, as they are coded. IE puts a load of garbage on your screen because it tries to 'interpret' what the webdeveloper wanted to see on his screen. FireFox will display what you code, not some garbled up version of what it thinks you want.° FireFox is not only safer because it's targetted less, it's also safer because it was written from scratch, unlike IE which was once written, then patched, then patched again, and got some more patches later on... IE is one big steaming pile of patches.There's always Opera too, and I must say Opera 8 is really fast indeed. Unfortunatly Opera went down the same road as IE: it started copying IE's HTML-display bugs to make pages look more like they look in IE ...

laso Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Heh, your an Australian .I'm not an Australian, I'm a Belgian, but I'm pretty darn close to being an aussie, I lived in your country for 5 years (age 8-13, I'm 18 now though).I must say it's one of the best countries I've ever been too, you should consider yourself lucky to be allowed to live there.Anyway, back on (semi)topic: If you do any webdeveloping, you'll IMMEDIATLY know why webdevs prefer FireFox. Check out my site: http://users.skynet.be/sorber/laso/, it's currently under construction, but did you know I have to put 1,5x my effort in making it look the *SAME* way in IE6 as in FireFox? IE6 always requires special attention.And it doesn't really matter if it's been around longer, the fact of the matter is IE6 has 84 high security risk vulnerabilities, compared to FireFoxes 21 less critical vulnerabilities.Only Opera seems safe enough to use, but imo it's a resource hog (it's bloody fast though ) Edited August 11, 2005 by laso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridShadow Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 THIS TOPIC ISNT ABOUT FIREFOXAlso seriously each to their own - most prefer IE, some like FF, alot like OperaLets talk about IE6 BETA 1I cant add that modded dll as it is 5 mb and 3mb Zipped- i will host it later on somewhere ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press any key Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I have to post this because of an error I have made.IE 7.0.5112.0 b1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I said previously that the History was not being retained..Forgot I have CCleaner and it's set & forget. You guest it - has clean IE History. I've been using Firefox 1-6 you see. Think it took less time to make the Atomic bomb than IE7. *Scrub that one off the problems list!

HybridShadow Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 That image resizing thing was also in IE6 - its just when its still there when you scrool up and down - annoying but not much of a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) I just loaded up google and at the bottom there was a link to "Make Google your search engine in Internet Explorer" and then it took me to download setie7defaultsearch.exe it appears that all it does is make ie7 load up with google preselected in the search window. but it may do something else too not quite sure.EDIT: as a followup if you seach google for "setie7defaultsearch.exe" it appears im not the only one who has seen this a few others have as well.

Sometimes only the side text resizes. It's most annoying, considering that they set text about 10 point. It's too small to read, and won't resize.2-2. IE 7 b1 also has a list of things in the registry that are BAD-for-you and checks against them like Spybot - Search & Destroy.I guess these Reg. items will always need updating, and, if get too long could slow things down.
