  • Monkeyfilter lookin' A-OK
  • Also: what certainsome1 said
  • deshead, I feel your pain. And I'm also using Safari and am hear to tell ya
  • hear = here oy
  • Heh, now you know what browser I used to make the site purty.
  • 30 second wait my EYE. This is neat though! I'm a pc person and this will help my web development. Thanks!
  • Another handy tip: Safari's HTML rendering component is based off of the K Desktop Environment's HTML renderer: KHTML. Though fonts and sizings would vary between Linux and Mac OS X, you can get a general idea of any major structural breakage by checking a site in Konqueror under Linux.
  • Interesting, Pandemic: I'm generally a Linux user when not on my iBook (and sometimes when I am) and I'd never thought to try Konqueror. (Need the newest Mandrake release, though, just for the pretty anti-aliasing...)
  • [this is good]
  • Anybody seen deshead around recently?
  • Is it pronounced "Desh Ed"? Or "De shed"? This is important!
  • Not as important as, um, I'll get back to you in the next thread.
  • PayPal plans to block Safari and old browsers - this is interesting: PayPal will take a very proctive approach to online security, even at the risk of alienating some potential users.
