so basically, only a few people who weren't already using firebird/phoenix upgraded to firefox.. otherwise its all previous users upgrading their browser.

interesting

Well, it makes sense as most FireFox users will be more aware of the news than users of other browsers. What's more interesting is to see that of the non-FF users, about half have switched (I'm discounting some of the Safari users that haven't switched because of Safari's greatness :p ). I think that bodes fairly well for the banner campaign. I'm hoping FF at least makes some headway into capturing back some of the market from IE. That will be good for the web as a whole, because it might start to increase awareness for standards compliance and cross-browser compatibility :)

ok count me in as one of the few who actually went back to the .7 build after trying out FireFox.

1. the Download Manager is a piece of sh!t, where are my normal download windows? not there. :(

2. the Breeze theme seems to work, but when i use it in conjunction with TBE i get an XML binding error at startup.

3. TBE is buggy, whenever i open a link in a new tab, it creates an extra tab with the previous page on it. wtf.

i guess i'll stick with waiting to upgrade till they get their crap together.

I'm using FF and Opera 7.23 at the moment... I hope FF gets the "Continue browsing from last time" option that Opera has (eg 5 tabs open with diff websites, retained and reloaded upon reopening FF, hence "Continue from....")

...and yes I know I get it to do something similar with the "Use Current Pages" button in General section of options but that means before I quite FF I would have to press that button everytime.... Opera does this automatically :)

just tried firefox

didn't like it that much

i'm too used to ctrl-O in IE to type in links and when i hit that in firefox it tries to open a file..

...that and i coudln't find the option to turn off underline links (i hate that too) lol :laugh:

but then i read about this MyIE2 thing

now that's some good stuff :happy:

You use CTRL + o to type in address URL?

Why not ALT + D instead, it works both with Firefox and IE.

Upgraded to FireFox long time ago. LIKE IT SO MUCH.

Still using IE. Firefox mostly.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
