A quick PSA

[ashinae]

Like several others, it would seem, I am now using Mozilla Firefox, and I think I shall not look back. It's a nice, clean interface, safer than IE, and I am in love with its bookmark system, whee.

For all relevant info on the current Massive Microsoft Security Issue, check out elke_tanzer's post here (also a quick link to some Bush administration idiocy regarding condoms and AIDS and... oh, just check that one out too, if you haven't seen it. *shakes head*).

Anyway, yes. Check that out. Protect yourself. I must now catch up on my flist and then start work on my portfolio site for school. Final assignment. Yay.

I just adore FireFox now. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to be fully on top of all the CSS stylings that one can do, that show up in IE. You have to be stricter with your code too, but these are only the complaints of a web designer and not a web user. As a user, I am MORE than happy. Yay bookmarks! Yay pop up blocker! Yay download manager! :)

According to my boyfriend, who has been using the Mozilla products since Netscape 4.7 [he never used IE], the trouble with Mozilla is that it is wholly compliant with the W3 guidelines.

MSIE has style options supported by no other browser [or at least it did back in the olden days, in 2002, when I was still a web developer]. Mozilla is strict.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is that its interpretation of styles is far smaller than IE, and most people design for IE, so all the text is fricking tiny. It's easy to change the size of the font, luckily.

I love the download manager. It is helpful without being intrusive, like a good waiter. *g*
