You what? IE doesn't support transparent PNG's and Firefox has done for ages.

I've never left IE. It works and it works good so why fix something that works? I'm really looking forward to IE7 just because of transparent pngs.

fix something that works? and in the same sentence you basically acknowledge IE broken png support and its being "fixed" in IE7. If your'e only after Transparent pngs, its available, has been for a while, and its only a click away

So IE7 will have tabs.

Will it have user editable features as readily accessible as about:config, user.js, userContent.css and userChrome.css?

Themes and extensions made by a community of fellow users or commercial add-ons and plug-ins with whatever mal/ad/spyware thrown in?

I will get the Service Pack, of course, but will probably use IE as much as I always have.....seldom, if ever.

It works in the sense that it can browes the web fine, thats what I mean by it works. The PNG support doesn't have anything to do with browsing the web, its just something I would like to see extra, if they werent gona add it I would still use IE.

I like using firefox because it is like saying screw you MS and your "free" browser. I also like supporting open source community developed software. Sometimes it is good to root for the underdawg! There are lots of reasons not to go back to using IE when 7.0 comes out, but these are only some of the ones I could think of.

Firefox or Opera are really good browsers aside from IE. Since 1996, I can say through my watching the NEWS, that since 1996, IE has ALWAYS had the SAME security hole. makes me wonder what MS is upto. Like they purposely put those holes there. :no:

I'll stick with firefox since it's had tab browsing for a long time now. Geez, IE7 will have tab browsing, which leads me to believe MS has fallen way behind it's competitors. :yes:

My personal opinion:

I've tried every other major browser, and i still have firefox on my computer.. but IE has suited me the best and ive been using it since version 3.0

I just hope Microsoft keep some standards of IE6 (they dont completely revamp and baffle users with a totally different interface etc..)

Just hope they can get over all the controversial "security issues" and stuff and of course bring a new strong challenge for the other browsers... for me its Internet Explorer all the way :yes:

Probably not, FireFox is far better than IE.

In your opinion. In the opinion of people who don't care about the nerdy background stuff, and who just want websites to simply work (and yes, a lot more websites work in IE than FF), IE is King.

    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
