Old: released years ago.
Broken: poor rendering of standards-compliant pages, numerous security flaws
Non-compliant: self-evident
Crappy: a bit subjective, but it does lack many fatures of modern browsers and that was what I meant by "crappy."
It's not slander if it's backed-up. Besides, I wrote it, so it would be libel and not slander (as GE runs to the dictionary...).
Does any other browser even have "full screen mode" yet (press F11 in IE)?
Opera and Mozilla/Firefox. Same key too.
Now let's talk tabbed browsing, security, cookie managemnt, download manager, selecting any search engine for address bar searches, quality popup blocking and management (even the Google Toolbar for IE doesn't catch the new ones), password management, selective disallowing of specific intrusive JavaScript functions used in popups and other annoyances, DOM inspector and JavasScript console (great for development), etc.
I wasn't convinced, it all looked subjective to me.
Besides, I wrote it, so it would be libel and not slander
Technically correct. So it was libel then.
Opera and Mozilla/Firefox. Same key too.
Interesting. So they directly copied an IE feature, down to the exact keystroke?
tabbed browsing
I run full screen, don't like tabbed browsing.
security
Security has never been a problem for me with IE. You have to actually click something you shouldn't have before there's even a chance of an issue.
cookie managemnt
Again no problem, I block them all except where I register, especially the "third party cookies" meaning spyware can't install either.
download manager
Ugh. I HATE third party download utils, I like one consistent interface.
password management
Caching of passwords is actually a security issue.
quality popup blocking and management
I usually run through the annonymizer.com proxy that blocks ALL that crap, although MS needs to improve the basic browser, which I've heard they're doing with the next XP service release.
selective disallowing of specific intrusive JavaScript functions
You can configure what Java functions run in IE.
Oh well, thanks anyway. Looks like my current IE setup is more than fine, and already installed and working.
