Please don't lie to make your browser seem better.

Did you know most of the features in FF is invented by Opera? :rolleyes:

Such as? Even if they did invent every single feature in firefox, that doesn't make it better. What matters is how the features are implemented and how useful they are, NOT who invented them. Tool.

Bliksem's signature says otherwise....?

You, my friend, are the 'tool'. First of all he isn't lying, and you took that second quote out of context. He wasn't saying the features were better in opera because they invented them, but if you would've read the post properly, you would've realised that..

I wasn't saying that he was correct about opera inventing them. I was only saying that he took the quote out of context. :pinch: I assumed that he wasn't lying as people have said that the find as you type feature was in v6..

I'm leaving it at that because i don't wanna get caught up in this argument ;)

Obviously YOUR second statement is a LIE.
Ok, tell me what decent features you like in firefox and i'll tell you if opera invented them :)

I mainly use opera, but here are some features in firefox I like:

-Hot keys

-Extensions

-interface using xslt

-type ahead find

-moveable toolbars

-bookmarks

Don't bother answering. Opera didn't invent any of these features.

The first quote was talking about the first thing he said (Opera invented find as you type thingy, which as i said above i assumed was true due to people saying it was in v6). The second quote was talking about him saying most of firefox's features were invented by opera.

Sorry if that wasn't clear...

This is the browser share of my blog. I think this pretty much explains it. (This represents 373 visitors)

Just thought I'd point out that there was never a public release of Opera v1 or under, IIRC. I think you meant to put 7.X or 7.5X. Just a technicality.

all those features are in IE as well. why dont you just move back?

opera invented mouse gestures and tabbed browsing. and dont try and tell me you dont like those.

It was clear, however opera didn't invent type ahead find and neither did mozilla. Also, most of firefox's features were NOT invented by opera. Both of his statements were the frantic ravings of an opera fanatic.

true, most werent. but hte good ones were.

"What matters is how the features are implemented and how useful they are, NOT who invented them."

Absolutely correct.

Whether or not who invented them first:

1) Compared to Opera's tabbed browsing, Firetruck's is a joke. A poor and cheap imitation by Firetruck that isn't even enabled by default (new links opening in tabs, that is).

2) The implementation of mouse gestures is better in Opera.

I do understand these are not the only features you might be talking about. But these are two of them.

So firefox is suddenly being called firetruck? or am i missing something here. And it is enabled by default. Something called middle click.

Opera users think they're cool when they call it "firetruck" :rolleyes:

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
