Browser Wars 2004

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the soapbox dept.

J. Hobbs writes "Recent posts on David Hyatt's site describing the new technology he's working on for Dashboard, coupled with recent announcements from the newly formed WHAT-WG alliance (Apple, Mozilla, and Opera) could add up to a potentially new kind of application development and deployment that I explore in this highly speculative essay. See if you don't agree..."

  1. The (Bright) Future of IE by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Look, I know IE has been getting beat up a lot lately (and rightfully so IMHO considering the seriousness of some of the problems), but this article on the next version of IE over @ Yahoo makes it look like it might just be what M$ is looking for to get back in the lead of the browser wars.

    I'm not a big fan of MS, but if this article really reflects where they're going with the future of IE, then I think we might need to look seriously at IE again.

    For now though, I'll still be keeping my Firefox.

    A web browser should only process what is the standard for Internet processing which is the W3C standards for processing webpages. No CSS. No Plugins. No extensions. Just HTML. If you can't do it with HTML 4.0 or whatever we are up to, then it shouldn't be done unless you browser can handle it. And that is where browser identification code comes in. But at least make your code work before moving beyond.

    And I'm not a Troll. I'm just a coder speaking the truth,

    I think you meant to say, "If only Google had given Mozilla users the Google toolbar, instead of being filthy Microsoft-humping sluts."

    I like it because it is not the M$.

    If it was the M$ I would not like it at all.

    I would hate it so much because the M$ is bad.

    The IE of the M$ causes the problems.

    The M$ technology is there to rape us of our will.

    I have to go feed linux, my cat some m$-free food.

    bye.
