Cool, all it needs now is Greasemonkey and FireFTP and I will consider switching browsers. Thanks for the link AKAPJ, those are neat tools.

Hasn't been the case for a while now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2 lists roughly a dozen production browsers that all can. Virtually every browser, except for Internet Explorer can. Firefox landed the change for it on December 7th, 2006. All nightlies and new betas of Firefox include it, and Firefox3 (due this year) will have it as well.AKA Panama Jack wrote:Yep, Opera and Safari have been about the only two browsers that have really been able to pass the Acid 2 test.
Most published speed tests have been ridiculously [s]rigged[/s] to abuse particular oddball javascript behaviors. Even some Opera fans have found mixed results in their testing: http://www.scss.com.au/family/andrew/opera/firefoxAKA Panama Jack wrote:Safari is fast and about as fast as Opera when it comes to page rendering. Firefox has always been dead last when it comes to rendering speed. Especially when javascript is being used.Never understood why people would want to use a browser as slow as Firefox but then again coming from IE anything would be better.
Agreed. More annoying to me is that the iPhone WILL NOT have Flash installed. It would have enabled a much larger scope of applications.AKA Panama Jack wrote:Safari still has some problems with Flash. There are some sites where things are just completely missing from the flash content.
Curious. In some areas, that seems to be the case (View, Text-encoding, choose one), but in others, its just like Windows (aka, hover opens) such as in (Bookmarks, Bookmarks bar, which then shows a list)AKA Panama Jack wrote:The other thing that annoyed the hell out of me is the Apple way of dropdown menus. You have to CLICK on the highlighted menu item for the drop down to appear. That annoys me no end after being used to dropdowns appearing as soon as your mouse hovers over the menu selection.
Bookmark export: Opera, Manage Bookmarks, File, Export as HTML.AKA Panama Jack wrote:But the menu selection thing and how they don't include a bookmark import for Opera among a few other niggling problems will keep me from making the switch.

Actually it's far fewer than the list.The Phoenix wrote:Hasn't been the case for a while now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2 lists roughly a dozen production browsers that all can.

Alot of work to go through when it should be added to the import in Safari.The Phoenix wrote:Bookmark export: Opera, Manage Bookmarks, File, Export as HTML.AKA Panama Jack wrote:But the menu selection thing and how they don't include a bookmark import for Opera among a few other niggling problems will keep me from making the switch.
Bookmark import: Safari, Import Bookmarks, Choose file. Bookmarks, Show all bookmarks, and its in its own collection at the bottom left.

Which build? Nightly? Firefox3 Alpha?Charles256 wrote:for the record, the latest version of firefox can not render the acid2 test. At least it looked all screwy on my browser the other day. Only Safari and Opera showed it well enough for me to say it was okay. Opera took it a bit farther than Safari, I.E. the nose, when you hover over it, changes color. Or I could just be imagining things...
I bet you're talking about FF2. It's not the latest. It's the latest stable, but not the latest available.for the record, the latest version of firefox can not render the acid2 test.
Yeah, FF2 is the branch prior to the fixes landing on the trunk. Need either a nightly build, or FF3 Alpha (now up to the sixth revision).Everah wrote:FF 2.0.0.4 on Windows for me. I try to stay away from bleeding edge software unless A) I really really want it; or B) I am feeling particularly risky and don't mind restarting/reinstalling/rebuilding the app.
