bon echo is firefox 2.0 alpha 1. it’s basically a few *minor* changes to the current version of firefox (the major difference was places which will be scrapped for 2.0 release).

ie 7 seems to bold some text on your site.

bon echo?
I was worried about IE7 although in principle it should it should behave. Perhaps it isnl;t going to live up to expectation after all…
Thanks for the tip. No doubt I’ll get to see a cipy soon…

I just noticed the IE banner on the right hand side. Good Touch.

It does look a bit screwed up with IE7b2

hmm, actually, on second thought, it was an error brought on by one of my plugins, works fine in bon echo.
btw, can’t seem to use ie7 tabs. stupid microsoft.

Is this using IE? Or Firefox. If it’s not working in Firefox then something is wrong! Can you let me know?

Hey stabani
Be interested to hear what you think of IE7. I don’t have a Windows machine any more so I can’t take a look that easily.

Off-balance? Any chance you could elaborate? Anyway – I need to use js iun order to learn it…

Personally, i love firefox, though some don’t. It’s a bit slower on the page rendering, and a pain on a mac as MOST have pointed out, but still, on my winlaptop and desktops it’s the browser of choice.

btw, what a coincidence. I just, about 30 minutes before checking your blog, downloaded opera 9 beta (alongside ie7 beta2) in order to test out which one is better.

but you take extensions off Firefox and there’s not much left…the developer’s ext. is great, anyway.
I suggest you try the beta release of Opera (or one of the weekly builds) because it is the first real company answer to the competitor: many long needed things are now included (opml support, simple search engine customization, gmail support), many options now have a UI just like about:config in FF, and it’s rather stable (the Win version at least).
