A warning to IE users

Dont click this link. For those with Mozilla or, like me, Phoenix, click and then reveal source to get a big laugh.

I'm serious! That will crash IE! All I can say is that I have a much better time of browsing since Mark set me up on Phoenix. Yummy.

[Vega Van-Derveld]

That's cruel :mneh

[Helenias Evenstar]

Were you able to see the code that does it? It's hilarious!

[Gurney Devries]

... bwahahahahaha.

<3 Phoenix

[Charley]

I'm ashamed that this does what you say it does in IE. Bill Gates should eat hand grenades.

[Helenias Evenstar]

It's mind boggling that something so simple - and funny - can crash apparently any Microsoft web enabled program. This will apparently also kill Outlook, OE, Frontpage and Office products that are HTML enabled. I got a case of the giggles just considering the code again.

It's true then! Windows does have a CRASH variable! :lol

[Leeloo Mina]

That's it. Right now, I'm getting Phoenix.

[Leeloo Mina]

Omfg

That's just sad.


w00t! *abuses "open in new tab"*

[Marcus Telcontar]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

OMG, that's a complete classic!

There no bugs here. The infidels are committing suicide on the logic gates of ActiveX. Lies! The stupid infidels...




Seriously, get Phoenix or Mozillla NOW. Consign popups, scripts, spyware tothe bim. http://www.mozilla.com. Phoenix can be found at that link too. Do yourself a favour. I use Mozzy myself and recommend 1.3 final.

[ReaperFett]

Well, I would, but you called me stupid, so I'll just carry on with IE :)

[Figrin D'an]

No offense Fett, but it's reaching a point at which it's now almost dangerous to use IE. It's riddled with security holes... Microsoft releases a new IE6 patch every few weeks, because they find something else that can be exploited by a malicious user. You'd being doing yourself a huge favor by trying out Mozilla or Phoenix.

[Morgan Evanar]

OMFG it works.

[ReaperFett]

Fig, I'm just messing around :)


I'm getting a new comp soon, and THEN I will look at all the options. I'll wait for now :)

[Leeloo Mina]

fett, it's worth it.. I put it off and put it off, then used it on nup's PC and put it off when I goty home.. Then I saw this thread and It took me like 5 mins or less to DL and install it.. :)



OMFG it works.

I had to try it out.. and I had the same reaction. :x

[Droo]

Started using Mozilla. It looks atrocious and I can't abide Netscape at all. I'm probably going back to Internet Explorer in about five minutes. Mozilla asking me to start downloading all these plugins and I can't be bothered, if it's so wonderful then I shouldn't have to do all this faffing around.

[ReaperFett]

Dru's about to be burnt be anti-conformist fanboys!!!!!!!!!!!!




(Dont kill me, joke;))

[Vega Van-Derveld]

The only plugins I had to get were quicktime/java. I would never go back from tabbed browsing. It just makes things sooo much easier to manage. :)

The entire interface is skinable. It's comes with two skins by default, and you can download countless others.

What is it asking you to download? It shouldn't require much.

[Droo]

The java download was what it was asking for but all these windows were popping up then redirecting me and about half way through I lost track and thought: "WTF am I doing!?"

If it's skinable, please tell me they have a Windows XP lookalike version. I hate having a clashing interface and yes, I am very much swayed by it's aesthetic quality and appealingness. Didn't like it at all.

[Figrin D'an]

Edit > Preferences > Apperance > Themes

There should be two by default, Classic (the Netscape look) and Modern (kinda silvery, closer to the XP theme).

Or click on "Get New Themes" to find others.



For Java, just go to Suns development website (http://java.sun.com).

Phoenix > Moz. Built in pop-up blocking = dance all night.

edit: dru http://texturizer.net/firebird/themes.html#Luna

Also, Phoenix is now called Firebird for legal reasons.

[Ryla Relvinian]

Oh that is funny. Oh man is that funny.

I am so giving that to my mom. :D

[Leeloo Mina]

Does your mom use IE? :p

[Alpha]

Ah, me now have Firebird, and I am laughing my head off at the code. :) :lol

[Lion El' Jonson]

A helluva long time ago I tried Mozilla, hated it, and switched back to Internet Explorer.

Well, I just installed Firebird, and I can now safely say:

Burn in hell, Internet Explorer...I hate you. :p

:lol

[Alpha]

:lol Ah, more converts. :) We have sene the light! :D

[Mu Satach]

That page is too funny. I had to open IE just to see it crash. :D

[Lion El' Jonson]

This just show that Microsoft Programmers spend too much time playing with their keyboards...and not enough time debugging...

[Xenodoros Stormrider]

O______O
That is the simplest code I've ever seen. Makes me think what Microsoft is doing anyway.
