i was allway use the GECKO engine (with firefox) and i have give a try to the new Opera 8. and wow. really faster, and "smother" browsing... but less support for plug in...

fastest: opera

reliability: GECKO

(my idea so dont bitch me) :)

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:

whom do u think is the best browser, i chose opera it's the fastest, better ui,no active x. I hate mozilla browser :angry: , IE with sp2 is excellent. Vote & tell why.

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

Have you heard of all-in-one mouse gestures[extension], it does the same thing as opera's

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 and Internet Explorer arent browser engines either :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.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
