Best Damn Browser Smackdown : Opera says Fuck you Microsoft
Opera is breaking out the big guns…lawyers. Today, Opera filed a complaint with the EU against Microspank.
They don’t want IE bundled with Windows, as it gives Microsoft unfair advantage in the browser war, and they want IE to comply with web standards.
Hmmmm. Don’t we all? I love Opera, they have big brass balls.
However. Is there anyone bitching about Safari and iTunes coming bundled with OS X? No? *crickets* Anyone? *more crickets*. Oh yeah, nobody cares….yet.
So big ups to Opera on getting them some press coverage, but nobody in the world can make Microsoft comply to “standards” that aren’t really standard from a legal perspective. We’ll be keeping a Geek eye on this one for y’all.

Go Opera! The day I tried a browser other than IE was such an eye-opening experience for me. IE lacks so much as a browser. It’s a damn shame that most people who buy a PC these days are just like “Oooh! The internet! Click on the blue E!” It’s good to see that they thought of tabbed browsing after their 7th version. Go check out IE7.com for a good browser (snickering).
And as for Safari, I think my Nextel i710 had a better web browser. Don’t try hitting F5 here kids, you might end up blowing your speakers out before the page ever refreshes.

Just an unofficial poll here:
Is Byron’s computer total garbage?
Or is IE slow as fuck?
It literally takes 4 to 5 minutes for IE to load up a page, where as Firefox takes maybe 20 to 30 seconds.
