I read until he told MS to call Safari for help. This “web developer” is a moron if he honestly thinks Safari is a better browser than anything.
I found the article where that’s posted and it made me lol really hard. His complaint was about how a javascript wasn’t working right in IE but was in FF. He didn’t say it but I imagine it was originally programmed to work in FF as others replied saying they were getting the same errors after copy/pasting the js code from somewhere else. His complaint is about how java is interacting with IE, explain again how that’s directly Microsoft’s fault because last I checked Java releases updates all the time. If their product isn’t interacting with another product, is it right to blame the product that was there first because it didn’t adapt itself to however you felt like injecting your program into it?
This is the same crap people pulled when they blamed Vista for not having drivers for a product Microsoft didn’t make.
What it all boils down to is that he wants all his firefox only scripts to work on IE. He’s forgetting that IE and FF are very different and their scripts and plugins will never be interchangeable, just like Opera isn’t interchangeable with Safari. It’s an unreasonable expectation.
I have noticed though that FF “developers” are getting increasing *edited*-ish as time goes on. They now have a script websites can use that deny access to the website if the browser isn’t firefox. This doesn’t make people switch, it makes them rage. If you want us to switch you need to change you advertising scheme so that you brag about features that IE *doesn’t* have. The FF website’s “features” page doesn’t have a single thing that IE8 doesn’t have and the “security” list is using IE6 as a comparison.
Come on, you guys can do better. Dice’s broken english can do better than that.
