12/16 Firebird is great 95% of the time, but it sucks for 5% of websites
(this is not good). Here's one example: just now I was trying to buy
something on http://gateway.com... I fill out the form and hit submit and it
says "Please select the user segment to which you belong"... when I
fill out the form in IE, it works fine. I've had this happen on other
sites as well... I see why IE users laugh at me... IE+googletoolbar
is pretty good.
\_ And then there are sites where IE consistently crashes, while
firebird works fine. That's why I use both.
\_ IE almost never crashes.
\_ My IE consistently crashes when visiting some sites,
both 5.5 and 6.0.
\_ complain to the webmasters. tell them to use valid HTML.
\_ i hate paying to do someone else's qa, but ya, i did that
(this time) while filling out their customer survey card... i
gave them a shitty score for "overall satisfaction" and told them
how it is annoying to not be able to use my browser of choice.
of course, they probably dont care.
\_ most issue lies upon the javascript. When I am in this
situation, I am forced to use IE. And... if you are in Asia,
the chance is a lot higher than 5%. |
