Yep. For a prefix.

It depends on the feature you're looking for, but yes that's one way. Did you mean to write more than that..?

I'm saying they detect prefixes because they're non-standard web attributes. In general a website should not be using these because it splits the web up, which I think you've already stated is a bad thing.

Perhaps your right that they shouldn't be detecting at all and if the page is broken it's broken.

My point is that if the page is broken (and in this case it is not) should the website work around the browser? What if Opera were displaying the page incorrectly?

I think they're pretty much saying "We don't want to develop with Opera in mind", which I find understandable considering that Opera is not exactly thriving.

@HM, interesting you give longer answers here than elsewhere. Papibe is trying to help sort out the problem but you give one-line responses

He requested information and I reported back. If you thought I'd left anything out you could always post there asking for more info.

The issue was solved shortly after though.

Default Re: Do you use one browser or more ?

I use two browsers and have them setup like this:

1) FireFox - NoScript, AdBlock Plus, CookieMonster & LastPass (A.K.A Secure Browser)

2) Chrome Stable - Whitelist Scripting, Seccomp Sandbox, AdblockPlus, Click-to-Play (A.K.A Flash/Plugin Browser).

I run each in a defferent VM to fully isolate my browsing from my host to further reduce the likely hood of infecting/exlpoits. I use chrome for plugins because they are sandboxed better than FireFox. I do feel NoScript make FireFox more secure though as it prevents more than just javascript from running. The VM's are running Fedora 17 with SeLinux hardened and sandboxing the browsers again with SeSandbox. So... With chrome this means I have:

Chrome Sanbox + Seccomp ---> SeSanbox ----> VM = 3 or 4 Sandboxing layers depending on how you look at it. An exploit would have to bypass all of them to succeed. Very unlikely

On the right kernel I doubt there's anyone out there who could get through it in any reasonable amount of time.

If you're using the right pax/grsecurity features with that setup an attacker's gonna have a hard enough time getting into Chrome let alone getting out of even the chroot once they do get in.

Haha I just so happen to be swapping my VM's over to Hardened Gentoo too

Default Re: Do you use one browser or more ?

I have 1E9 installed on Win7 and usually have Firefox and Google Chrome/Chromium installed as well. For most of my browsing, I stick to 1 browser (any 1 of these 3 depending on my mood) at a time.

I hate having more than one program that performs the same function, I love having the best of everything, but only one, not various ones. but that's just me

I share the same sentiments but in the case of browsers, I'm left to go against the book so to say. Honestly speaking, I have been (and still am) a Firefox fan by far and by large but nowadays I feel like the other 2 browsers has something to offer that Firefox currently doesn't.

What I like about Firefox:

1. Extensions (ABP, NoScript, Tree Style Tab, etc).
- provides features that outperforms extensions or even built-in features in other browsers
2. Private Mode (without needing to set up flags in shortcuts)
3. Reduced memory usage.

What I like about Google Chrome

1. Sandbox.
- With Chrome 20, the renderer processes are at untrusted IL.
- With Chrome 21, users get PPAPI flash.
2. Speed
3. Control of certain settings (that may require add-ons in Firefox)

What I like about IE9:

1. TPL (sort of built-in privacy/ad-blocking capability) I use Fanboy's TPL)
2. Ironically, the lack of rapid release cycle is useful for me as an Admin. (Take note that I like rapid release cycle to a certain extent in other browsers)
3. Colored tabs

I also have complaints against each browser but I won't bother listing them here. If only each browser developers could learn from the other...and take the Pros without the Cons, I'd have definitely sticked to just 1. Alas, that's not the case...
