Hi !Donovan,

Still so funny that image does not turn up in my Google chrome browser.
When I open the image link in another tab then I first see it, and what it is all about..
How come?

Ok people. Talking about whale, horse, squid.... to eat.

You have to try these:

1. Chiguire also known as capibara. Biggest rodent in the world. Catholic church clasified it as fish so that people could eat it Good Friday in South America where fish was not readily available during the 16 and 17 century. It is delicious and you need a permit to hunt or to sell the meat.

2. Morrocoy or ground tortoise. Generally serve as soup on the shell and I my mouth is turning water so..

Not funny, there is nothing wrong with IE9 at all.

Hi forum friends,

In the light of the recent spam runs here, I stumbled upon this image, see attached.
Don't you think it is funny?

Not funny, there is nothing wrong with IE9 at all.

IMO, IE fell behind a long time ago. Its support for javascript is off, its support for html5 is off, and its support for css3 is off. It is also one of the most easiest to exploit, there is no customization, etc.. Try the CSS3Test here --> http://css3test.com/ and tell me if you get a high grade.

I beg to differ .. Firefox and Chrome are getting exploited a lot more in my experience..  Mozilla safe browsing has been hacked and that is an actual part of FF

I have a thread in the virus forum where that has happened

Hi Essexboy,

Infection can be prevented with add-ons like NoScript. However, due to the nature of custom apps in these browsers, I do agree that there is a more open-source and changeable configuration and settings. Since Firefox and Chrome however do allow users to get extentions and add-ons, in which include script protection, the gap in security can be closed quickly.

To add onto my statement, IE9 users would not be able to render this full-fledged CSS3 Animated Page Properly:

Which adds onto my theory that IE9 does not support various CSS3 rules.

Furthermore, IE comes pre-installed with all Windows machines. Thus, all users are forced to use Internet Explorer as their first Windows browser. Not fair in the market of browsers, I must say.

It renders perfectly in IE10. The alternative to being forced to use IE till you get something else is to not have it installed and not being able to get on line at all.
Not a good alternative. (Since we're talking about a MS product, substituting something else in the original package for IE is ridiculous.) IMHO

I couldn't care less about those tests since what they are testing for is very rarely, if ever actually used. There also is a high degree of customization within IE and there always has been. IE has "fallen behind" for pie in the sky things on developers' wish lists, people who never know when to leave well enough alone, but not for anything that really matters.

I have a thread in the virus forum where that has happened

The various posts I've seen on Google all suggest to me that "Mozilla Safe Browsing" is a malicious extension installed by malware, either downloaded by the user as a Trojan or a drive-by installation via a vulnerability in out-of-date applications on the computer.

It doesn't seem to be a part of Firefox at all.

There's a big difference between getting exploited and getting infected.
