That's awesome... you're just pissed that they make a superior product to anything M$ puts out.

nice, although in ethics class they said it wasn't nice to do that.

You'd think he'd be more pissed that he's so out of the loop. That site has been up for at least a couple months and he's just finding out and expressing his outrage now.

Indeed. Since switching to firefox (and eventually minefield), the worst i've found on my computer is a couple of harmless tracking cookies.

Far better than viruses, popup ads, and other crap. No popup ads, no ads on websites, heck, the space where the ads used to be is gone, not just the ad itself.

"Click here! You might be a winner!" is a phrase I haven't seen in a very long time.

Upon installation and right-clicking any image, you'll see AdBlock Image, and AdBlock Link. I'm not sure what the difference is though.

I'd actually reccomend the Adblock 0.5.3.043 (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/10/) combined with Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.0.4 (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/). I literally have not seen an ad since installation months and months ago, and there is no clicking, they're just not there. Ever.

According to that Filterset sight, it works with Adblock Plus. I've heard that Plus is being updated and Adblock is no longer being worked on.

Javascript block is also superb.

Speaking as a longtime Mozilla user, I have to admit that IE7 (especially the latest release candidate) is pretty damn nice. I've been using it a lot more lately.

But it's still integrated into the computer much more than it should be, which is a strong benefit of the 3rd party browsers (mozilla, firefox, opera, safari, etc.)

Personally, I found the tab bar rather ugly, I couldn't figure out how to move the "file, edit, view" bar to the top of the screen, and I didn't like the way the tab bar stayed present, even when I only had one tab. (Shouldn't it disappear?) I ended up rolling back to IE 6.

IE 7 is a lot better than 6, but they still have a lot of catchup to do.

I hope so because I checked out a version a few months ago and it was pure crap, it couldn't render css properly.

Check out the screenshots on the right:

FWIW, (from that link)
The programmers of Mozilla have been making gradual efforts to have their browsers pass the Acid2 test, but it is unclear when this will take place. The delay is due to fundamental architecture work that has to be done to the Gecko rendering engine to support the changes that Acid2 requires.[4] It's unlikely that an end-user release that supports Acid2 will appear before 2007.

Although Internet Explorer has also been moving towards better CSS compliance, its author, Microsoft, has publicly stated that Acid2 is not one of their primary focuses, and that the upcoming release Internet Explorer 7 will not pass the test.[5]


My nightly build of Minefield 3.0a1 has a better result than 1.5. The eyes actually are eyes and not the red bar. The red squares on the chin are gone as well.

It has dramatically improved, but there's nothing they could do that would make me want to see ads in my browsing experience.

Ethics and Microsoft should never be put in the same sentence unless one is saying the most unethical company ever is M$
