Best Web Browser? See this...

[mehulved]

Was this an article or a joke? BTW, opera has open, save and print icons. You just need to open Main Bar. I wonder if that person used opera for more than 5 mins before shooting off his mouth.
Many of the points are just ridiculous.

Can you even read? Read what I wrote. I have pointed out so many inaccuracies in the article.

I hope you know whom you're asking this question to.

Actually, he didn't even need to actually use it. All he had to do was read the features page and look at the screenshots.

Opera +999
It still has more features built in then FF n IE7. Also most of these so called features were Opera`s innovations which FF n IE7 just copied.

Also Opera is the most secure browser of the 4 reviewed
Security

According to Secunia, Opera 9.x has had 4 security vulnerabilities, all of which are currently patched.[8] These figures are better than those of Firefox 2.0.x (1 of 2 advisories unpatched, 1 of 11 vulnerabilities unpatched),[9] Internet Explorer 7.x (3 out of 4 advisories unpatched, 3 of 5 vulnerabilities unpatched.),[10] and Safari 2.x (4 of 6 advisories/vulnerabilities unpatched).[11] The differences are more apparent when comparing older releases: Opera 8.x (All 15 advisories), Firefox 1.x (35 of 39 advisories patched), IE 6.x (91 of 110 advisories patched), and Safari 1.x (14 of 15 advisories patched).

I use both FF2 and Opera9.... both'o them roks... but most of the time I use FF2 by default as I am more habituated to it !!! Interesting to say that Opera was the first browser that I preferred over suckin IE4 !!!!

I wouldnt blame the reviewer/author, I would put the blame on the magazine for employing people who dont have the required aptitude and dont care to research their topics accurately and throughly enough

I use firefox-2.0.0.2.The fonts are rendered much better than Opera for that matter.I use Debian GNU/Linux Sid and pango support is just developing well.uses a unicode font-Lohit-hindi;not the one win32 user use. just FYI i am posting a screenshot of the page:

Mr freebird, you are saying the render is correct coz maybe you don know marathi language(pages on the site are hindi too , chk them), the text is all broken and rendered incorrect. The problem can be fixed , pls visit the 'Problem Viewing site in hindi?' section of the site , the page has solution to fix the firefox problem . Thx for providing the screenshot.

These are the screenshots of the site on different browsers :

IE7 : Renders perfectly.

Opera : Flawless

Firefox : screenshot after the fix

*img250.imageshack.us/img250/5702/ffyu4.th.jpg

As you can see even after the (greasemonkey script) fix the page renders very differently.Firefox browser breaks the hindi text when formatting rules for text on page are set for letter spacing ,word spacing or justify. The greasemonkey script removes all this formating on the page, and due to this fix all the formating is disturbed for the sake of displaying the text perfectly.

one question btw , how do i get clear type renderting of text in firefox , the non smooth text looks ugly on every site in ff. I have ff 2.0. Steeting the fonts to clear type from windows setting does not fix the problem.

So if your preferd browser doesn't wins the test, the review is biased...

ya right

Can you even read? Read what I wrote

Why are you embarrassing the poor guy? Isn't it quite obvious that he can't!

Read my statement again, where did i take the name of MS or IE 7 here?

 

[Kiran.dks]

This doesn't look like a Review. It is like a Firefox paid adds on magazines!

 

[aryayush]

@gx_saurav,

In all four of your quoted statements, I cannot see anyone saying that you mentioned Microsoft or Internet Explorer 7.

 

[tarey_g]

He cannot, or will not, read anything against Microsoft. It does not matter that every person in this thread, even the Firefox supporters, are saying that the review is very biased. If it says something in support of Internet Explorer - and frankly, saying that IE is as good as Opera is giving it a great honour - then it is a perfect review.

This is where you mention IE and link it with gx, and gx didnt mention anything abt IE anywhere. He need not to quote it.

He cannot, or will not, read anything against Microsoft.

Same case is with you . Everyone knows here Gx is a windows fanboy (and makes tons of spelling mistakes ), but you have exceeded even him with your mac fanboyism. So if him being a fanboy pi*ses you off then just look in the mirror.

Gx in this thread never said anything to deserve these harsh comments.

And i think mods are angry with me , some mod/admin edited my usertitle from admilistraltor to traltor. great

I knew this was coming up next. He did not need to expressly mention it for us to know that he is satisfied with the review because it rated Internet Explorer far higher than it is worth.

And stop the advocacy already.

I am getting those Anti-aliasing effects in FF2, Afaik,"Cleartype Technology" is just AntiAliasing. Its nothing special, MS just likes to spread propoganda. GNOME offers u to select speed or best shapes,subpixel-rendering etc using gnome-font-properties.btw In Debian GNU/Linux,i uses corefonts and other ttf fonts like Bit stream vera sans for better font properties and it does look better!

I basically uses GNU/Linux and it uses xfontserver,xfontserver-truetype for managing all sorta display things for X.org.regarding MS windows and firefox settings..i am pwned-not a M$ user

You dont need me to tell what i should do or not, you gave such rubbish reply because you had nothing better to say.
Next time be reasonable , such crap post clearly shows you are a windows anti-fanboy. Blaming a user for what he has not written, and only because 'you thought' he ment something else, is sad.

*img109.imageshack.us/img109/6066/screenshot1no7.th.png

I saw the DJ site and it renders correctly because the site has not used formatting setings like Justification of text, you can see no part of text is justified on any pages. And my site is not designed for IE only , as i told the site works perfectly in opera and i have also tested it in safari . Only firefox shows that problem and as i wrote some one made a grease monkey script to take care of that, but thats not the perfect solution.
