Scorbing Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I downloaded it last night and tried it for about 1 hour. Still quite buggy and this version seems to take longer to open web pages than the last version. When are they finally going to have this browser fully working!!!

0 pulp Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 umm, you are talking about 1.2a ? working fine here... and the new typeahead feature is sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MulletRobZ Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 BTW, what does the typeahead do? I have Mozilla 1.2a, but I'm not familiar with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AGMW Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I tried Mozilla 1.1 a couple month ago and it was extremely buggy, unstable, and incompatible with many websites. IE 6 is still the least buggy and most compatible browser on the market. People just do not understand that sometimes open-source simply does not do the job as well as the private code.

0 lazydesert Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Originally posted by neo1980 IE has autocomplete like type ahead since IE 5.5 3 years ago um.. autocomplete and type ahead are completely different. type ahead : start typing while the page is loaded, and links, matching what you typed, will be highlited. then all you need to do press enter to follow the link. yeah.. 1.2a was slow for me too, but yesterday i updated to a nitely build and its been workin smooth. and the guy saying IE is compatible with more sites.. that is true but IE is compatible with more sites because its compatible with poorly written sites. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 neo1980 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 it is a real pain to install plug ins for mozilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 azazel- Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Can someone please define for me what makes a website standard compliant, because for the life of me I just can't seem to bring myself to care. I've yet to find a site that was completely unviewable using either IE or Mozilla, so honestly, is this *really* an issue? Granted, I don't have a PhD in html, but I'm guessing the majority of web authors out there don't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 radioboy Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Originally posted by neo1980 it is a real pain to install plug ins for mozilla How is it hard? Most that I've installed (PIE MENUS ROCK! :ninja: ) you simply click, it installs, and you restart the browser. No muss no fuss. And will someone please show me all of these "incompatible websites"? The only two I've ever seen are cn8.tv and education.ti.com. Greatest plugins ever: Pie Menus (radial context) and the preferences bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
