YOU DON'T NEED TO SNIFF FOR BROWSERS. Just make your stupid pages W3C-compliant. If you are a pervert and insist on sniffing, DON'T then serve up a You-are-a-doodie-head page. Just serve up a standards-compliant page and let the chips fall where they may. (Frankly, if they are going to sniff then bitch, they should go ahead and flag M$'s crappy browsers as turds.) Disclaimer: Though I use Google all the time, the only time I see http://wwww.google.com/ is after I have used their complaint form to bitch about something whereupon they use that URL as the landing page. I use a previously-visited Google numerical IP address already in my Address Bar and edit that URL to do a search.[1] As a rule, their JavaScript and other stupid "improvements" don't affect me. ...and I avoid DNS by going numeric. I hear that in your Goggle preferences you can also turn off much of the stupidity; again, I do it all manually and precisely. . . ...and corporate size doesn't seem to bring with it any particular smarts. Micros~1 is also a huge outfit, yet they are obviously too stupid to put out a product that doesn't suck. http://google.com/search?q=botnet+%22.13-million%22 . . [1] I also don't end up with a ridiculously long URL that I have to pare down anyway if I include it in a post. A keyboard macro app can then insert the text-address part back in. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
