    Re: MS IE SUCKS! —Richard Marchetti
   1) IE is pretty good on MAC, a little worse on PC. They are developed independently of one another. 2) (A layman's explanation of PNG) PNG is the extension of an image format that is intended to replace the GIF image format without the legal (...)

   Quoting richard marchetti <blueofnoon@aol.com>: (...) Never used it, can't tell you. Personally Galeon is my favorite browser, and it does have one big advantage over opera - it's free :) (...) you must be high! Mozilla has absolutly NOTHING in (...)

        Re: MS IE SUCKS! —Richard Marchetti
   (...) Yeah, I agree it's better -- it was just that I thought Netscape's Communicator was based on the Mozilla code. I guess I was wrong... The latest version of Mozilla appears to support PNG, so that's a good thing. And as you said of Galeon, it's (...) (22 years ago, 1-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: MS IE SUCKS! —Matthew Miller
   (...) Netscape Communicator refers to the 4.7x and earlier browser suite, which does not share code with Mozilla. The new product is now just called "Netscape" (as in "Netscape 7.0") and *is* based on Mozilla code. Basically, they take the Mozilla (...) (22 years ago, 2-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

        Re: MS IE SUCKS! —David Eaton
   (...) My boss uses Opera (he loves it), but he's found a couple issues with it-- most notably with its apparent inability to maintain cookies. I've never played with it myself, but it will periodically just drop his cookies... Also, IIRC, it had (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: MS IE SUCKS! —Richard Marchetti
   No problem with either cookies or the file extension issues over here. I regularly use Opera to post via the web interface on lugnet and also to shop at Bricklink. I think both use cookies to identify me when I browse around. I'm running Opera 6.01. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: MS IE SUCKS! —Matthew Miller
   (...) Well, realistically, you want as many existing web sites to work as possible. I can't think of a reason where you'd want to turn on the "treat this pedantically" flag for someone else's site in real life. (...) Do you have an example of what (...)
