Everyone is talking about browsers..

A lof of people have been writting review for IE8, they installed it, surf the net, and claimed “holy mad cow, it’s faster than Firefox, it renders things faster! It’s more secure!”.

Doing a few search on Google reveals a lot of things that prove IE8 still has a long way to go. But anyhow, applauds to the team IE8 in Microsoft for heating things up in the browser war

IE8 passes the Acid2 test, which renders CSS2.1 correctly now! Lesser head ace for web developer yes!

IE8 failed the Acid3 test, which focus on the ECMAScript ( Javascript is a variation of ECMAscript) and DOM level 2.

Microsoft is making much of its security enhancements, which Ms Barzdukas said makes IE 8 “hands down the most secure browser on the market.”

In the recent annual Pwn2Own contest, all 3 major browsers have been exploited. Safari on MAC is one of the fastest to exploit, followed by IE8 and Firefox.

Miller also added that Firefox on Windows is easily the hardest of the three browsers to crack, despite Microsoft’s claims that IE8 is “hands down the most secure browser on the market.” – Infoworld.com

I was surprised. For IE 8, I’d give him a 9 out of 10. For Safari, maybe a 2. It’s just too easy to pop Safari. For Firefox on Windows, I give him a 10. That was the most impressive of the three. It’s really hard to exploit Firefox on Windows. – blog.zdnet.com

I am really surprise that Google Chrome was the one target left standing. Way da go Google.

Firefox is famous of the massive list of extensions available, and for now I can’t live without them, and moreover I’ve had really bad experience styling webpages with CSS in IE…I have had nightmares, waking up during midnight dreaming about a misaligned navigation bar in IE6. One day(years later)…who knows, IE will dominate in the browser war again.
