Opera for free

Yes, opera has taken the ad banners out of their browser. So go and check it out. Apparently its more secure than Mozilla or IE, has the tabbed browsing capabilities, and shows pages that are meant to render in IE properly. (a problem that Firefox faces with grim approach)

Check it out:


Update: Pages that don't render properly in Firefox are mainly becuase the code for the site does not adhere to the standards of the www

Big companys (ie Microsoft, Yahoo, etc.) hate standardization. Mainly becuase it means that they have to compete on the same ground as the next guy. If you have a huge customer basis already, then why standardize and give people an easy alternative to convert to???

About Me

My photo
I have been working with computers/programming to put myself through college since I graduated high school. I am currently attending Oklahoma State University for bachelors degree in biological sciences. Along with my experience in programming, a degree in biology will allow me to pursue a career in bioinformatics research concerning genetic diseases (i.e. cancer).
