good riddance, MSIE-Mac?

Post #106,147 by rcareaga 6/14/03 7:49:15 PM Reply	good riddance, MSIE-Mac? Microsoft Corp. said Friday it will no longer develop versions of its popular Web-browsing software for Apple Computer's Macintosh system, saying Apple's own browsing software is a logical choice for Mac users.

However, I've read several columns so far, including [link\|http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/31205.html\|this one] at the Register, which frets about Safari not being able to handle 100% of all web sites correctly. I have a couple of things to say about that: 1. If we have to wait until any Web browser can handle 100% of all Web sites, then we might as well settle in and have a drink, since it'll be a long wait. As I recall, there were a few sites that didn't work that well with IE, either. 2. I have yet to hit a site with the current (v74) that hasn't worked. Even if I did, Mozilla seems to do just fine as my backup.

Konqueror (as of KDE 3.1 in debian unstable) doesn't, and that uses KHTML, too.

[link\|http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/\|http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/] Been using it for almost 9 months exclusively on OSX. It works on Peter's page and just about every one I have encountered except the most stubborn .asp hacks (which wouldn't run on Explorer either). Microsoft is obviously trying to tell Apple to "back off" with Safari (and Quicktime), but it won't work. Camino (a OSX native mozilla build) is already the best browser I have used on any platform. I have my own email program (thankyouverymuch) and web design software, so just give me a browser. S'all I want.

This is good though - no more "sorry we only support the biggest browser" shit. LCD development must return. (Or, alternatively, kill the fucking hack that is the web and replace it with something decent).
