Does Safari make your soldier salute? Does Camino put the starch in
your shorts, or do you prefer the petit piquancy of OmniWeb's studded rubber
nubs?

Or do you saving a (very) personal space on your Dock for the Mac version
of Opera? Hmmmmmmm?

As long as we're analyzing CSS confusions... any tips from pros for http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~ddt/webarch1/test7.html ?

Of course it could LOOK better... but why does the CSS crop the main text? I've done the obvious things, I think.

And is MacRabbit's CSS editor worth learning? It hasn't been updated in ages.

I love CSSEdit. Still use it today.

I think your issue is with the absolute size of that iframe. Whatever text you have in that html file probably needs to live within a div that is the same size. It might be easier to do it via ajax:

I had my web programmer confirm, it is with the iframe thats only set to 450px wide but the page being included is set to 900px. Their suggestion was to fix this or just use an include instead.

Anyone using Firefox 4? My main concerns are security, minimal amount of UI annoyances, stability.

I'm really regretting upgrading Safari to 5.1 on OS X 10.6. Memory leak city! As bad and buggy a Safari release as I can remember.

I have been really happy with Chrome, but have really liked Firefox 5 on Windows and have been thinking about using it on OS X.

I've been on Chrome for a while now. But as usual, its showing some signs of over-usage. It's a weird thing, but after I use a browser for a year or so, it bogs down and dies. No, clearing the cache and download history does not work. After a year off it recovers. I'm probably the only person on the planet with this, but seems to be the case.

Hmmm... I do have the latest version of Camino...

Users of Internet Explorer 6, released in 2001, scored the lowest on the tests, at just over 80.

Heh. Now THAT does not surprise me...

baha, I'd love to hear tips on setting up profiles in firefox. For, uh, academic researching and keeping it separate from, uh, online purchases. Sure, let's go with that.

Setup Firefox to flush *everything* on quit and use a bookmark sync tool to upload your bookmarks into the cloud. You can browse whatever you want and none of it will be stored whatsoever...

Except your bookmarks in the cloud. Which could be damaging enough...
