Je ne le savais pas! [le nom de code du futur Firefox 3.6 est malgache: Namoroka]. Merci ;) - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Bonne nouvelle & occasion pour attirer l'attention sur Madagascar: Nature et Technologies! F**k those manipulations politiques venant de-ci et de-là qui ne servent qu'à démontrer que notre soi-disant esprit "obtus, partisans & politiquement bébettes": l'inverse de ce que nous sommes vraiment! - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Si cela pouvait apporter autre chose que de la misère dont les malgaches souffrent. - Bob Lyr
Bob, je pense justement que Nature et Technologies sont et seront la richesse de Madagascar. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Et des projets et compétences en la matière, il y en a à Madagascar. Savoir 'profiter' positivement des buzz (in)directs créés (et à créer), c'est ce qui manque encore. Trop 'noyés' dans les cercles vicieux politico-politiciennes qui pourtant ne servent que les déjà riches. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Pour cà que je vois ce nom de parc à Madagascar, "Namoroka", pour Firefox 3.6 comme devant être positif. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Evidemment si Madagascar est content de FireFox "Namoroka" juste par égo, ce serait dommage ;( - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Opera have to load 188 images before letting me change my TumbleLog's theme. With Firefox, I didn't have to wait. Failed?
With this one, Opera's turbo mode doesn't help. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
..and clicking on a Tumbler's theme doesn't change anything. Yeah, I already noticed this one. Failed. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Google Chrome Releases: Stable update: 2 WebKit security fixes
"Google Chrome's Stable channel has been updated to version 2.0.172.31 to fix two security issues in WebKit." - LouCypher from Bookmarklet
Do you think Chrom wil ever offer add ons like FF? From one hand I miss some of the Add Ons but from the other I enjoy my browser to stay quick and it is definitely very quick comparing to FF - Roni Segoly
@Roni - Chrome will certainly support extensions! The Extensions system has been in the works for quite some time now, and actually you can start writing and using extensions *today*. Check out: http://dev.chromium.org/develop.... - Ivan Zuzak

Opera really need decent Bookmarklets. Delicious: it's impossible to manage bookmarks & tags within the browser. StumbleUpon: No bookmarklet. Guys, how do you use Opera with such services and social medias?
I use services that do support opera - eg: diigo - and doesnt stumbleupon now support opera, i thought they would? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle, on their website, StumbleUpon says that they doesn't support Opera, but SU 'works well with Mozilla based browsers'. And they link to.. the Firefox download page! - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Hmm, i have used it on Opera recently, there was a bit of news about them adding support - lemme see if I can find it - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
SU doesn't support Opera directly, but you can use their web-based toolbar at http://www.stumbleupon.com/toolbar... which http://www.operastumbler.com provides an integration for. - Jerry Heiselman
Yes, if you go to Stumble Upon and press Stumble (or search) you can start browsing with the stumble "like/dislike" tags etc. But that disappears quite fast if you do something unexpected. They had a bookmaklet for a while (it was announced last fall, but seems to have disappeared) but there are 2 places where you can find tools written to use the API - stumbleupon tools http://my.opera.com/suopera... and operastumbler mentioned above http://www.operastumbler.com/ - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
We just don't use StumbleUpon - Глеб Арестов
I tried to use http://www.stumbleupon.com/toolbar... but it was a real regression in my productivity efforts - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Gonna try http://my.opera.com/suopera... and http://www.operastumbler.com/ , I don't understand why I didn't find those links ;) Thanks a lot - Thierry R. Andriamirado
But yes, I just never got into stumbleupon much because it didnt support opera - and I cant be bothered to try to fix up Firefox to be right and productive, too many add ons. Opera works for me, and there is no product or site I cannot find an alternative for that also suits my purpose - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I thought that such services 'always' try to be compatible with main widely used browsers, not just 1 or 2 of them. On the other hand, it depends on the devel Community too. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Oh no, quite a few of them were very happy to tell you "sorry, must use the one browser" - which made me go "sorry, must use another product". After all you never know when you will be on another machine or want to change browser, so it is smarter to choose online services that support 4 or 5 browsers as a matter of fact - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Actually, I'm "service oriented", not "browser oriented". I was happy with Firefox but am tired by its frequent crashes and its huge RAM consumption, and I feel comfortable with Opera's look&feel. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

LOL; personalized Microsoft spam; it feels insulting to the intelligence of users of other browsers. - Poor Gamer
what if I use Firefox with IEtab? - ThenWang
They should add malwares for non-IE users, with the tagline "Hey, you thought you were safe?" - Jérôme Flipo
Powered by Live Search? Where's Bing? - Aaron Crews
@tengrand_ie8's fate on Twitter http://search.twitter.com/search... - LouCypher

Safari on Mac, set the user agent to IE8 and off you jolly well go. - Gilbert Harding
Do chrome.exe --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)" if you want to use this in Chrome. - Niranjan Tulpule
They should be trying to get their enterprise users to upgrade from IE6 to IE8 and then once they get their enterprise users to like it they may install it on their home pcs ;) - Nicholas James
