Firefox is my favorite web browser. I’d love if the guys at Mozilla would start optimizing it for speed so it will load and run faster like Chrome or Safari. Although, admittedly slower to load than the other two web browsers, I still love Firefox because of the rich plugin apps available on the Firefox browser.
I’ve read about Digg’s plan to stop supporting the Internet Explorer version 6 web browser via TechCrunch. I just totally agree with the plan. I mean IE6 is just too antiquated. What’s an even more valid reason to dump it is that it’s such a security risk to continue using it.
I think that any experienced web developer would tell you what I’m talking about. Plus to developers it’s been a nightmare to try and support such a web browser that doesn’t even come close to following web standards. Everyone who understands what I’m talking about and has a blog should really start campaigning for these IE6 users to change their web browser by posting about it on their blog.
If you can’t upgrade your Internet Explorer to a new version because you’re using an old operating system. I suggest you do yourself a favor and get Mozilla’s Firefox instead.
I have just finished up on updating my Javamidlet.com web site. It’s been almost a year since I’ve made any changes to the site’s wordpress theme. The theme I use on Javamidlet was one of my early themes when I was still learning how to make them in Wordpress.
I’ve learned quite a few from the exercise and one of them was — it’s really quite a challenge to have a web site theme that works on majority of the web browsers — Firefox, IE7 and IE6. Working with Firefox (both for Linux and Windows) and MSIE 7 was easy but you’ve got to give credit to IE6 for being such a creation! It’s a good thing that less and less people are using IE6.
