If you guys want a Free and amazing browser, try Opera...It's a lot better than IE, Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox.

how many times do i have to explain this to people... opera itself is a virus. trust me. i did a couple virus scans, and it came up marked as a trojan.

You know what you should do liljim? Add a link to firefox on ungrounded pages if it detects IE, I'm sure you can do that.

Or maybe a popup window explaining stuff.

IE works PERFECTLY for me, i don't know where all this BS about IE not showing links or showing .GIFs as solid white came from.

Wow, regardless of implications on Newgrounds, the blocking of active-x directly in pages is a big step forwards for those people who always end up accidently downloading spyware.

Dude, did you download the update or anything?
It might not happen yet, but it's likely an eventuality.

Eolas won't pursue Firefox as long as it's open source. Fine.

But what about Opera and other commercial browsers? Will Eolas pursue them?

A sound piece of advice James, as always.

Yeah, it sucks. :( I'm using the AOL browser myself.
If I knew which update number it was called I could remove it.

Definitions of cosh on the Web:

* blackjack: a piece of metal covered by leather with a flexible handle; used for hitting people
* hit with a cosh, usually on the head
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Uh, yeah, makes sense.

I upgraded to Firefox a long time ago, so glad I did, it alerts me of new email, enhances GameFAQS browsing, acts as a IRC client, acts as a mass image uploader, blocks all advertisements and popups, built in search functionality, has a toolbar for controlling winamp, allows me to edit my cookies, provides fully functional tabbed browsing that keeps a history of closed tabs, has a built in version of minesweeper, adds a countdown clock to whatever I want, has intergrated IE tabs for Non Firefox compatible pages, an option to translate pages from the tools menu, a built in calculator with history, a text to leet convertor, keeps an archive of previous downloads, lets me use Gmail as an external harddrive with an FTP based interface, lets me access FTP accounts and upload files, asks me what I want to do with PDF files, makes all the animations on Homestarrunner.com go fullscreen, has a handy colour picker that tells me the hex code, and a silly little extension that counts how many popups I've blocked.

Holy shit, that's a lot of shit my Firefox can do.

Holy shit man, as though you didn't have it bad enough, Eolas will probably go after that too.
That ain't nice. (Btw, nice animation today.)

It's a very good thing I don't use IE, but I think my friends use IE, so I better warn them. Thanks for the information James.

I heard about this a while ago on digg and slashdot, and think the whole thing is stupid. I'm a big fan and contributor to OSS, and I use Firefox as my home browser, but I don't think it's right for them to only go after Microsoft. That's like a cop watching speeding cars go by all day, but only pulling over the one that looks expensive. Or a lady spilling coffee at both her favorite shop and at mcdonalds, but only suing mcdonalds because they have the money, and everyone loves to hate them. Sorry for my bad analogies, but I think you get my point.

Overall though, I wish stupid software patents like this would stop getting passed in the first place. It's too general. That's almost as general as Bob Ross patenting the idea of painting happy trees with a brush. heh...

I normally use Avant Browser, but I sometimes use Internet Explorer ONLY to test out my site and to see if it works in IE. That's why I saw those little white boxes when you go on top of a flash application...

Currently, I use Firefox, but there is another similar browser called Crazy Browser. It has default tabbed browsing and many other features, but it lacks the plugins available for Firefox. I've never seen it crash before or not be compatable with any medias.

Yeah that has been happening to me for i think almost a week now and frankly i find it very damn annoying. I was thinking it could have been just a one day thing but still, i find myself clicking on each play button twice and the score i want to give the submission twice. All this is going to do is lower the amount of people using internet explorer. Because i know myself i dont want to use this browser anymore, always has problems, and now this. I think im going to install firefox within the month.
