VexorianIE7 still doesn't support PNG transparency. So it blows and the trash is its place.


WTF are you going to use that for!?

Like I said, it's not how inferior (which it isn't) IE is, it's how GREATLY superior other browsers are, with their additional features and all. IE, when comparing it to others like a PC, is just your standard, bare-bones, internet browser.

It doesn't matter if your other browser has "SUP3R F37UR35", even a cupholder for that matter. Heck, I bet that you people have rarely even USED these features, (except for the cupholder, though :D ) what's more important is that it is able to surf the net efficiently and protect you from any viruses. I believe that IE, even without the special features, is still a reliable browser. Case closed.

I hate it when people boast about their rewards. Your god (generic term) gave you all of those things, and he/she can take it away from you just as easily if you use your rewards for the wrong purpose. Look at me, my PC only has 512mb of RAM and a 256mb video card, and do you see me complaining about it? Nope, don't think so. (no offense to the people who have lower specs than that)

penguinsmasher, if you don't know anything about a topic, avoid to post in the topic.

IE7 will not support PNG transparency, this is a great sabootage to web developers in many ways, (did you know that GIFs are propietary and you could be sued for using them without a license?) Still gif is the only image type with transparency that works in IE for some stupid reasons.

PNG was meant to replace GIF and its stupid license with the super free zlib/png compression one. And also with a non-loussy compression.

Even if IE7 supported transparency in PNG it would still be a terribly wrong browser. Opera, Konqueror , Safari those 3 browsers have 100% w3 standard compliance. Firefox has a 98% standard compliance, but IE7 has a 40%.

Also MS has a long history of not giving a damn on vulnerabilities and their software tends to stay with holes for ages.

In other words IE is garbage, no human being should ever use that kind of deficient software. And the super features that come with IE7 are unnecessary and even if you really like them, they are already (and were for long) in other browsers that didn't have IE's flaws.

I guess you're right. I might not know MUCH about this topic. A 14 year old wouldn't know much about this anyways. It's just that why do you have to bludgeon things like IE by saying "it sucks", "piece of trash" as well as others when you can just say that "IE is actually quite inferior because of..." but instead I see comments such as "this piece if sh**ty trash doesn't deserve to be in human hands because it's more primitive than dinosaurs and more inferior than an arquebus (very old gun used in renaissance)". You know you don't have to be so harsh on it. Criticize it for its flaws, but don't bludgeon it. [last post on this topic]
