Browser Wars - Whose Team Is Netscape On?

May 19th, 2005  | Categories: General, Technology

A coworker spammed this story about Netscape 8.0 having the ability to render pages like Internet Explorer.

WTF?!

Basically you can set preferences for webpages to have it render using AX or Gecko. So why bother taking the time to develop using standards that break in IE when you can switch to FF, or why bother trying to mark pages that work in IE to work in FF? Lets throw crossplatform developing out the window and one again say “screw you guys” to anyone who chooses or doesn thave the choice to not use products with ActiveX. Now theres no more pressure for IE to follow standards because another piece of the browser pie is using its rendering engine.

Bakka. This makes me want to cry. And then **** something up.

    FTS.

    I’m going to find some way of crashing AX renderer so people don’t get stupid and comfortable with the MS renderer.
