For thoseof us here who are smart enough to use mozilla, a new game went up on mozdev.org: a race game that looks like bits! It's pretty simple, check it out at

What about the even smarter ones who use Opera?

You paid for it, or you have to look at banners all day?

I didn't pay for Mozilla, and it doesn't make me look at banners. In fact, I haven't seen a popover or popunder ad in almost a year. and, I have images from most of the notorious ad servers blocked (*.doubleclick.com, etc).

As an added bonus, I get even better standards support than Opera.

Or you could both just use IE or Netscape and not worry about standards support at all

Yeah...pay for software? hehehe

Actually I have been using Opera before Mozilla was known to the common Windows users, and I do feel it is the fastest browser on earth. Mouse gestures are pimp too...oh yeah Mozilla plans to include those next. After they copied the tabbed windows from Opera too.

Lets see when I open Mozilla i have to wait forever...hence the reason IE is still beating Mozilla in usage. If they could speed up Mozilla, I would give it another try. Another reason I like Opera is the fact that they offer Full releases and small updates, were are Mozilla has not yet to offer a full release that is truly bug free for over 6 months.

Confused.... why does an internet browser make that much of a difference? I use IE, and it's fine, bug free, and quick (thanks to dsl) how much quicker can you get?

IE has bugs, thats why you are supposed to update every thing made by any company, especially Microsoft.

You are right, but Mozilla and Opera both have very nice things, that IE and Netscape have yet to realize every user needs.

You really contradicted yourself there. You make a point out of saying IE has bugs, thats why it sucks, but then you say every piece of software needs to be updated. So then isnt every piece of imperfect software just as crappy as IE??

Oh, and IE doesnt have any more bugs than any other browser, its just that people find more bugs in it than any other browser because 99% of the world runs it and all the lunix geeks spend all day looking for bugs and vulnerabilities so they can prove that MS sucks and that they finally beat the man and stuck it to the system.

And without us Linux geeks testing software...you'd be all happy to let people in and hack away.

Sure all software needs updates and patches, but Microsoft is planning to start charging for updates soon. Is that fair or right? With Windows XP we were told this was to be a secure system, 3 days after release, WHAM huge holes found.
