Uh-huh. It's just unrealistic. In Opera, a lot of code is displayed inadequately.
There are some problems in Mozilla with Java - on the pages there are "buttons" being processed
They don't work in Java.
I have all browsers...

So they are actually stupid, there is no need to assume ;)
Those who understand have no problems with IE.
Best regards, Evgeniy.

Maybe the code written by inadequate M$ victims is inadequate?
That's half the Internet. So you have to understand that they write exclusively
and purposefully under IE. They even take measures to make sure
give a completely inadequate page to a sane browser --
cases are known. There's Microsoft's compensation to Opera-software, or whatever they call them,
is still paying.
Tests are available at W3C.ORG...

Buttons are processed not in Java, but in JavaScript. It's nonsense that it doesn't
are working. They're working for me.

And I have one (Mozilla). No, of course I have Lynx, but this
already different. And there is no need for 3 more different browsers.
Feel the difference...

Let's not talk about holes. It's not even a problem, it's just a fairy tale...
And CSS2 (even opera can do it!), page formatting according to standards
published by W3C, correct display of PNG - where is all this? Instead of
this constantly pop-up windows with advertising, lack of bookmarks (tabs)
- (open a few dozen windows - isn’t he feeling worse?) and a half-hour
loading pictures. Not to mention ease of use - this
In terms of M$, everything is always as usual. That is, it was not made for people.
However, all this is Holy WAR... But about three observers at once this
rightly noted. Before you judge something, you need to try it for at least a month
more another reviewer.
PS: show me in IE where the manager password is (I’m not able to
remember all the passwords on a hundred sites!), download manager (and what
I downloaded it there, I don’t remember either), popup manager (need advertising?),
form manager (again - there are many sites and you have to enter everything manually everywhere
very annoying), javascript console (debug your scripts)
and DOM inspector (can be viewed as DOM or as JavaScript objects),
sane (like in mozilla) bookmarking system, site navigation bar
(a book for example - navigation through pages, sections...),and search on google (and so that there is a list in the sidebar on the left, and content on the right
specific pages from the list of found ones). I want everything. And here, more
I want an html editor. There's nothing...
