I saw the news that the alpha of Opera 10 was released. Among the hype was that Opera 10 was pixel perfect and scored 100 out of 100 on the Acid 3 test. Intrigued, I grabbed the .deb, installed, and gave it a test spin. Unfortunately, even though it scores 100/100, and is pixel perfect, […]
Can Microsoft develop a browser that doesn't frustrate their own internal web developers when developing Microsoft web applications and sites? If no: then Internet Explorer is not the browser to be designing sites for, but, instead, developing for standards compliance browsers like Firefox, Konqueror and Safari.

I stumbled upon something that I haven't seen since 1998 or there abouts. Remember this: This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer at 1024 x 768 resolution. Yeah.

Fourth place just crossed the finish line, and it looks like it isn't even a browser. Prince 5.1 was released yesterday making it the fourth after Safari, Konqueror and iCab to pass Acid2 beating out Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. See the news here.
Downloaded the latest build of Opera 9, which is still in the development stages and not ready for public release. Of course, the first page I visited was the Acid2 test page. I was amazed to see that Opera 9 almost passes, if it weren't for one ridiculous color. Check out the screenshot below: Opera […]
Browsing the web, I have seen a number of different ways to "hide" email addresses on web pages from bots. I have seen images, slight text obfuscation and other methods. However, has anyone thought of HTML obfuscation? It's a simple concept really, using the ASCII chart to "hide" your letters. Consider the ASCII table below: […]
