Browser pimpage

[yakalskovich]

This is a political statement:





I think almost all of milliways_bar uses it; any normal Windows crate would totally die on five threads in five separate instances of IE, and your brain would die of confuzzlement. In Firefox, managing the threads plus keeping an eye on the main comm and Backroom are easy, the pages rebuild at lightning speed at F5, and the tabs labels easily tell you which thread is in which tab. IE is strictly auxiliary for when you need more than one character at once.

That way, your brain is free to die of the crack instead, as it's supposed to.

Boykot Firefox, use Opera, the alternate Browser since 1996

Opera has tabs as well, true. The Nazgul says so, at least.

But Opera costs money. At least it did in 1997 when we first tested it where I worked.

If it's free now, though, I might look into Opera as auxiliary browser once I get a new little foldup computer and can think of installing even more stuff. Because running a second (and probably third) character for milliways_bar in IE definitely sucks Ankh water. The thing is so slow it hurts.

I stopped using IE last summer during one round of really bad security crap. I switch to Firefox and have never gone back.

I started using it near the end of last winter and never looked back. What round of bad security crap - IE doesn't really concern me any more. At all. La, la, la...

I pprefer opera I've been useing it for nearly 3 years now, because it's faster than IE.

You know how hard it was to convince my parents to get even what I have now?

[Sorry, metapost, lazy.]

Huh - what kind of RPG is that? And what is it that you have now, browser-wise?

[too lazy to log out of character journal, sorry. *g*]

It's an original character, slightly-futuristic rpg.

Right now I just use IE.

IE sucks for RPing - you can only ever really manage one thread at a time. With every new instance of the browser, the whole shebang gets slower and slower.
