This is perhaps the most awsome thing ever.

By Echo

I second that!

By JimmyG

and the whole page linkes to getfirefox.com - epic win!

By Ory'hara

Not an epic win. it is an ASTONOMICALLY EPIC WIN!!!!




the astronomically is what makes it better

By Craig

And yet IE5.5 displays fine :S

By Plater

If FF weren't such a memory hog I would never use IE6 for anything.

By mr.madsen

what's up with that Plater, why not IE7?
You still use first version of Firefox those times you use it?

By Nalr

But, how will I browse webcomic of awesomeness from work?!
You actually want me to work, instead of slacking off...
I hate you :( (Almost as much as I hate Norwegian keyboard layouts... viva la enGB keyset!) *Paints target on forehead*

By valhallasw

Awesome. Especially how IE 5.55 /does/ work* :D





*although it, obviously, makes a mess out of the layout

By scavenger

not funny, rather idiot... you deserve much better than browser integrism, at least you look much clever in the past.

By Mikko

i always install FF on peoples PCs when i fix them

By cluster-

IE4!

By crisatunity

I don't use IE-anything, but I could give a rat's ass what others use to view my content. Since ignoring IE6 users would require zero effort, this just comes off as infantile whining.

By Spider

Looks good in Mosaic :D

By T-Fin

Public service, crisatunity. Public service.

By Wooo...Ghost

Well all IE's are lame and FF is totally great but *I* use Chrome

Netscape 1.0. Nuff said.

By Tuss

Netscape? What are you TALKING about?! The one and only way to view web content is to use Telnet or Netcat to make HTTP requests and then parse the (X)HTML in your head! That way you can be sure it's done right, and you won't have to worry about being patronized by some stupid rendering engine either.

By Ted

They way some people/programs write code, that's a recipe for headache!

You know, IE days are seriously numbered, and Firefox needs to scramble to keep up (and I don't doubt it can though). Cause Safari 4 is out! See http://www.apple.com/safari/features.html

By Okibi

Thank god for FF, We have to keep IE6 on our machines so we can develop for those still in the dark ages.

By kyou

Christianity, they care because they are web designers and clearly you are not. IE6 sucks at reading code so you always have to bust your ass more than necessary to make shit work on it. When people design websites they spend more time fixing all the bugs on IE than designing the whole thing. Using IE is slapping all the web designers in the face.

By bfo

Only way to view websites is with "lynx" here is the SS http://bayimg.com/image/daoehaabi.jpg

By Jón Frímann

Trying to get the splash page by faking the browser (firefox addon), but it is not working.

What is the user string for IE6 ?

By charlieMX

My FF misreads fonts and hurts my eyes. So I use IE7. FF is begging me to be a Microsoft person. Am I screwed?

By Monty

We have to use IE 6 at work, have to try it there :-)
And I am using Opera normally, best for me

By Madsen (not the LG-one)

Most things seems to be working fine in IE 2 - at least that's what I'm posting from. (Hooray for ies4linux.org.) ;)

By Madsen (still not the LG-one)

Jón Frímann, he's using an IE-specific feature to check for IE 6.
<!--[if IE 6]>-->
Something only IE 6 parses...


Faking the user agent string won't help.

By Madsen (still not the LG-one)

Haha... Apparently HTML is stripped (not converted to HTML entities), so here's another try... Sorry for spamming.

Replace '(' with the less-than sign and ')' with greater-than.
(!--[if IE 6])
Something only IE 6 parses...
([endif]--)

By mr.madsen

Yup, simplest way :)

By Ory'hara

If only I could code.... I am jealous. (i'd learn but I am far too lazy...)

By Plater

No mr.madsen , I roll with the latest FF3. It just has a habit of pigging out I think it has to do with the in memory cache, I open and close a lot of tabs. But FF has a bad habbit of loading plugins and never unloading them, even if you close the tabs they were used in. (And no, I got rid of "Firebug: the original memory leak" a long time ago)
FF is using more virtual and regular memory then both of my visual studios COMBINED.

IE7 makes me want to vomit on my shoes and then rub it in my eyes so I never have to see that horrible UI again.

So its FF3 for fun, IE6 for work related things

By ANkh

Plater, just use Opera or Chrome if you need speed.
Heck, you could even use Safugly.
Firefox is a bit of a beast, but that is to be expected, it is a feature whore.
I <3 FF

By crisatunity

@kyou - rather than getting hell bent on describing how hard it is to web develop for IE6, you might want to learn how to actually read and spell what you read.. You didn't put in the two seconds of effort to read and write"crisatunity" correctly. How hard can you be trying at testing for multiple versions of multiple platforms.

I am a web developer and I've never been slapped by IE6, so your claims have proven doubly ignorant and idiotic.

By iRt3hCh4d

I'm at work. My work terminal uses IE6. This made me love life and hate work that little bit more....

By Zanshi

Go forth with this idea. Free cookie if you pull it off. : D
