Since it is the new year and all the bad things that happened right before the new years(tsunami) lets get started off this year with some off topic conversation.


What internet browser do you use? Do you use one specifically for coding and one for viewing random websites?


I personally am starting to switch to Mozilla because its easyer to code especially when working with HTML standards. I still use IE a lot though for things like viewing webpages when using google because of the lack of knowledge about HTML standards there is.

There used to be a time (maybe a year ago) where i'd used both Firefox and IE, but since then i've not come across a single site in my every day life that requires IE. If one should do then there's always Firefox's IEView extension.

Also it's becoming easier and easier to make the die hard IE people (generally business people in my experience) to convert to Firefox.

The problem I keep running into is that Mozilla wont display flash content. In a way thats the reason I am using the browser because its easyer for work purposes but I also do flash developement.

What does IEview do? I'm not familiar with it.

Only a few things do I fall back on IE for nowadays.. like flipping through link lists quickly, and Windows Update and other ActiveX only pages..

"The ieview plugin is a simple Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox extension (for Microsoft Windows systems), which allows the current page or a selected link to be opened in Internet Explorer."

I switch between firefox and opera, i feel opera has a more intuitive navigation, and it shows all sites without a hitch, whereas firefox does not show some pages properly. IE sucks, i only use it to make sure my pages work..

Generally I'm happy with internet explorer.
I have firefox on hand to keep compatability issues minimized.

Opera mainly.

FF for some stuff and IE rarely, but for testing a lot.

Well, where it says "Click here to download plugin"; I'd suggest clicking. Maybe once, maybe twice, I'm not really sure.

All I know, is that the plugin downloads rather easily and updates firefox in mere seconds, enabling you to view flash content whether your heart so desires.
