I'm not like actually TRYING to prove a point here, except to just have a laugh and enjoy the fastest browser I've ever used on a mac.

I'm actually not embarrased to show my PC friends this browser!! It's so great! I'm so happy I found it!!! :D :D :D :D :D

OK, this one’s for Ed, and I’m expecting a nice flame in return – don’t you disappoint me now ;o)

Ed: What's your beef with AOL and Netscape? The way I see it, AOL is a company that acts as an ASP for PC based internet novices. Just because they are crap at developing for the Mac I don't blame them.

I think the reason why AOL is so bad at developing for the Mac is that most Mac users have more taste than to use AOL, so they don't have a very big Mac client base. Given that, how can we reasonable expect them to develop for the Mac – it’s bad business for them because there aren’t enough tasteless Mac users.

BTW, in your posts about how much you dislike NS/AOL, you imply that AOL uses Netscape:

Correct me if I’m wrong (and I’m sure you will ;o) but I thought AOL used IE as it’s guts. This in my view makes any help I give Mozilla and therefore Netscape perfectly OK. Just because AOL owns Netscape, It doesn’t make Netscape bad – My beef with AOL is entirely unconnected with Netscape, it’s to do with the AOL ASP division as an anti-Mac ASP.

An analogy – compare the two:
  1. I dislike Microsoft because they threaten apple on uncompetitive terms and make shit products, and I therefore dislike Bill Gates for his role in Microsoft. Bill Gates owns Corbis Images.com, and I like them because they have good images for sale. I don’t see buying from Corbis as a violation of my Anti-Bill Gates principles.
  2. I dislike the AOL ASP division because they ignore apple-users and make a shit product, and I therefore dislike AOL for its role in the AOL ASP division. AOL owns Netscape, and I like it because it is a good browser. I don’t see using Netscape as a violation of my Anti-AOL principles.
    [/list=1]
    OK did you think the first of the two comparisons was reasonable? I did, and the same logic applies to the second.

    You may now pull out your flame thrower...

    Bernie :eek:)
 
My prediction has come true! A 10-post friendly thread has turned into a multi-page flame war about Netscape, AOL and other nonsense. I know Ed's gotta stand his ground, completely respectable, but you guys .. there have been at least 5 threads on this subject and the same things get said over and over again.

Besides, I'm genuinely interested, and have read all the previous threads on the subject.

Bernie :eek:)

Not so. NS and IE render very incorrectly, and in inconsistent ways. However, developers of web pages know these are the de facto standards, so they develop web pages taking NS/IE's incorrect rendering into account.

When you come along with a different browser, whose incorrect rendering is inconsistent with NS's and IE's, or (if such a thing exists) a browser that actually renders correctly, then you get something unpredictable.

Solrac,

You are a moron. You have no common sense. You buy cars manufactured in France. You voted for Walter Mondale. You are constantly surprised when the shower gets scalding hot after your wife flushes the toilet. You are unable to predict that it will get cold in the winter. You are stupid. You wear black socks with tennis sneakers. You have trouble with simple math. You rarely use words with more than three syllables. Your favorite chocolate is exlax but you can’t understand why you’re not regular. You had trouble keeping up with the plot when you saw the movie “Starship Troopers”. Your hero is Steve from the Dell commercials. You think Target sells some damn nice furniture. Your favorite tv show is "Sabrina the teenage witch". You aspire to reach Britney Spears' level of education. You constantly forget which color means what when stopped at a traffic light. You still make a little "L" with your thumb and index finger to use as a guide to help you figure out which hand is your left. You just discovered chimera and you think your ahead of the curve.

There, now I've had some fun. Thanks for the advice. :)

Cool trick! And here I was using the fact that I have a ring on my left hand to keep everything straight. Boy, you do learn something new on macosx.com each and every day!
