At least those morons finally shut up about this being posted earlier. :angry: Who gives a **it! If you feel like replying on the topic then answer. If you just want to bitch at people then walk down the street and do it but don't come on here and start whining and try to hijack someone else's posting just because you may have seen the same info elsewhere it's rude and just plain stupid because:

1.) Other people are replying to this posting that may have not came across the other postings yet.

2.) You get to hear different viewpoints from different people.

3.) Just because you may have been on this board longer in no way makes you "God"

4.) If you don't have anything good to say then keep your holes shut

That being said... I am voting for Firefox (Gecko engine) because Micro"Soft" blows donkey A**. :rofl:

I've been using a combination of opera + ie for a couple of years now.

It's getting annoying that opera doesn't render properly some sites. I did try firefox as beta 0.9 something. The only thing I love about opera is mouse gestures. Very fast. It may sound stupid, but I'm reverting back to ie. Getting bored of sites that don't load properly. I will still keep opera. But for specific tasks. :blink:

wait... we are talking about rendering engines aren't we? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think rendering engines have anything to do with a browser's features, or for that matter, the UI, or active X.

Read more about common rendering engines here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines

lol...it's like saying "Which religion is better" :pinch:

It's a matter of preference in the real world, yes I know and love gecko because of it's quality standards support, but it's really not that big of a deal when IE has 90% of the market. :whistle:

Opera is the only browser to use it's engine, so it's fair to simply say Opera. As far as IE, you're right. I'm assuming the person simply didn't know the code-name for the IE engine though.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Just for anyone reading, AdGuard (the free, standalone MV3 extension) is quite good now, a direct competitor to uBlock Origin Lite and much more built-out than it.

    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
