IE8 Beta 1 was released to the general public yesterday and here are my first impressions and quick review. I’ve installed it and taken it for a quick whistle-stop tour of the web. It’s stable, it’s a great improvement, but one caveat though, it’s only really intended for developers and designers at this stage, so [...]

Internet Explorer (particularly IE6) is accused of holding back the web. When it was launched in 2001, it was was very advanced and the number of web designers created standards based web sites was negligible so it’s lack of standards compliance wasn’t such an issue.

I was in the UK over the Christmas period visiting family and had my annual reminder of what technology is like in the real world. Just before Christmas there had been a lot of buzz in the web community about IE8 passing the ACID2 test and the forthcoming release of Firefox 3. It’s easy to [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Hurray, Netscape are withdrawing support for their browser from 1st February 2008 and advising people to use Firefox instead. Let’s face it, Netscape was just Firefox in a different jacket so I don’t really see what place it had in the mix of browsers.
Over the past couple years, Netscape hasn’t really been an issue in [...]
