You love Tarantino, hate IE : you'll love this !

Some of you have already seen this, but for those who didn’t :

ROFLMAO!

Thanks for sharing David

Well, made me laugh !

I wouldn’t dream using it on clients websites, but their script for IE user to switch seems nice too :

Cool! What a great web it would be

Maybe one day, either IE will be a minority or it will (at last) support web standards correctly... one can dream !

The "lol, Firefox blocks popups" excuse doesn’t really apply anymore, due to IE7 (one of Explorer Destroyer’s points). On a side note, Firefox *can* be as affected to viruses/etc., due to user extension (although since it’s user-driven, they fixed quicker than MS could).

On a completely side note, it’s quite funny how none of these pro-FF websites even mention the lag issue FF has occasionally (noteable when it’s been running for a long time on a default install).

I’m not against FF or anything (Firebug is one of my more favorite extensions to use when I need it), but it isn’t the end-all-be-all.

Yeah well FF is not perfect, there are faster browsers like Opera or Safari and there is definitely still room for browser improvements but why do I use FF nonetheless ? Well, extension is the key... Opera Widgets and Safari plugins are nowhere near what extension bring to the table IMHO.

Yep, that’s the reason I have key extensions like Firebug on my local FF install. Opera’s dev tools are getting better, but it’s not close to Firebug yet.

@David:
Have you checked out a recent nightly build for WebKit ( http://nightly.webkit.org/ )?
The "inspector" is curiously similar in all ways to the FireBug extension.
It’s layout is similar, the right click brings up a contextual menu with "Inspect Element", you can pop it in and out of the main window, there is a console and a network traffic analyzer.

The main difference is that FireBug is written in XUL and javascript (as almost all mozilla extensions are) and WebKit’s inspector is written in Cocoa, directly connected with safari (as a bundle ATM) which means that it is indescribably faster and feels much more "Cocoa" (obviously ).

The other thing I noticed about FireBug is that sites that use a lot of javascript take so frickin long to load when FireBug is running that I want to force quit. At this time there are still a few things that the fox can do that Safari can’t, but that gap is closing very quickly with each build of webkit (hell, most of the RTE’s work with the latest nightly!). Personally, It is rare for me to even open FireFox any more. My main browser has been WebKit since they included the inspector bundle. I also use NightShift which downloads and installs the latest nightly build whenever I feel like updating.

I didn’t test the latest Webkit, last time was about 3 months ago, glad to hear that there is a Safari equivalent to FireBug I’ll go back and test then !

The thing is though, for instance I use a lot of little gems like the BBCode Extra extension (handy for lots of forums and for quick xhtml formatting). I have to bear with the FF slowness for the moment... hoping Safari will have lots of plugins in the future or FF makes things better in the speed department...

Edit : NightShift is a godsend, really great stuff, downloading latest Webkit right now in fact
