firefox takes over IE in hits

[rtil]

i was going through some statistics today and i noticed 46% of people visit this site using firefox and 44% view it using IE. in january, 56% of people used IE and 44% of people used firefox

this is kind of welcome news due to the fact that as i further development on the site, IE has a lot of frustrating setbacks when it comes to coding and web design. almost 90% of the time IE doesn't do what it's supposed to do and you have to code a workaround every single time. still, i'll try to make the site as IE-compatible as possible, but if you don't use firefox to look at the site you'll probably be seeing it incorrectly. IE just does not  conform to a lot of rudimentary standards (especially with CSS) and it makes it really annoying to go back and make it overly complicated just to make it look right.

for some reason, in internet explorer, the quote of the now is usually messed up for me

also i downloaded the new opera two days ago
it still has some css compliance issues but it is way better than firefox and ie so far

I stopped using opera a while ago. I'm much more fond of Firefox.

i wish sinister could come back just to agree with this

[rtil]

well if you guys like browsers with memory leaks that's not my problem

Are you talking about Firefox? I never had any problems with it.

[rtil]

a memory leak just means it eats through system memory faster than it should. the most lightweight browsers are safari and opera. that doesn't mean they're good (safari is awful), but opera has fixed a lot of its css compliance issues and imo it just plain runs better than firefox. plus i don't have to deal with being associated with a snobby fanbase of people obsessed with customizing their browser skins !

[MRat]

I refuse to customize anything. I'd rather it be the way I like right off the bat!

[sQueef]

I like FF and Opera I just use FF more often than not I suppose
I do like that one feature in Opera where all of your bookmarks are on a webpage or something I think its when you start Opera not sure but its nice! Moreover I distinctly recall Opera functioning better when using Tor, this was back in my "FUCK NEWGROUNDS" stage of development, so I was using Tor quite often.

But until my new pc arrives I am stuck on this shitty windows 95 laptop with IE 1 im guessing. Not sure what IE version it is but its horrendous.

[MRat]

I wish Firefox had a duplicate tab feature like Opera does. Then I'd use Firefox more.

[rtil]

all i need is my internet explorer 5 and my bonzi buddy you leave me the hell alone

[sQueef]

fuck that
lmao bonzi buddy damn I loved that when I first got internet and Kazaa too!

later on of course I found out that they are both spyware/malware/wtfware
no wonder that pc was always gettin viruses

[rtil]

kazaa was clean for a while
but you could definitely download a ton of malicious shit from it since it was unfiltered p2p
the only p2p software i've never seen littered with viruses and spoof mp3's is soulseek

[sQueef]

soulseek ehh

i might be getting that instead of limewire then on my BRAND SPANKING NEW PC!!!
sorry I flew off the handle like that, I'm a bit excited.

[rtil]

i\\\'m building a new computer too, so i can share your excitement. the only thing that sucks about soulseek is that it doesn\\\'t look for hosts with the same files, so the person you\\\'re downloading from has to stay online while you\\\'re grabbing files. primitive, but soulseek is really the best tool for getting clean songs and full albums via p2p. if someone signs off while i\\\'m getting something i usually just get it from torrent instead

but there\\\'s a lot more rare/obscure music on it than anything else out there, period.

[sQueef]

hmm then I might use Ares to re-attain my serial keys for some programs, I should've just written them down somewhere but oh well. Ares is pretty safe and I already know it has all the stuff I need program-wise.

[Hammi]

For fucks sake just use torrents it saves you a lot of time!!
