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 ...

ie 6 has been out for ages and it also has its fair share of security fixes so face it, if you want to be 100% Safe, disconnect from the net and unplug your PC, face it no browser will ever be - Perfect

Also the growing popularity is making people target firefox as well

So tels back on topic and not talk about Firefox

And talk about IE 7 BETA 1

Has anyone tried the patching of IEFRAME.DLL to make the tab longhorn style, i will find a link to the patched file later

It works great

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 :P)

PS. How does Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 go for you. The try out, no one can afford to buy the whole thing. Can you get it off a PC Mag where you are?

:huh: What's the story, morning glory?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the Microsoft Security Newsletter:

Fraud through pharming: redirecting your browser to fake Web sites

http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=3765938

"Pharming" is when criminal hackers redirect Internet traffic from one Web site to a different, identical-looking site in order to trick you into entering your user name and password. Learn how to tell whether a Web site might be a fake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From WordWeb:

phishing:

The luring of an internet user to reveal personal details (like passwords and credit card information) on a fake web page or email form pretending to come from a legitimate company (like their bank)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Now there are two of them, give me a break...

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!

Technical beta for Windows XP Service Pack 2

Not only is there no flag - there's no name. The name Microsoft Internet Explorer only flashes on when

the browser is started. Then it's just the name of the page.

The pretty face won't come till Beta 2.

*The green image is just what's left of my IE 6 Toolbar wallpaper. This is normally grey.

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.

I have Phishing Filter turned off (because I think it slows things down, and I don't have any

money)

but click the icon to check sites sometimes. Like the one above.

****However, it is possible it is not working at all in this version of the

browser****

[Firefox shows the images but no links, but got a pop-up, and they are blocked. "Says I am the

2.

The History records are missing again, even though set to keep for 8 days and have unticked [turned off] erase History on start-up with CCleaner.

========================================================

1-1. The text resize is working here.

http://desktoppub.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?

site=http://www.graphicpush.com/index.php%3Fid=153

**I think some web wizards maybe using CSS or something. 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. But what can you do about the bad guys?
