Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does anyone know of a handy-dandy list of all the differences between the way IE handles XML/Javascript and other browsers?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Used Chrome at work today. It's very fast on my laptop (an oldish one).

I'm not sure there's a quick list, as the differences are great, but QuirksMode looks comprehensive.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have yet to get Chrome to install on two different XP machines.

the installers won't launch, or they appear to and then disappear.

I even downloaded the standalone installer on one machine.

Daniel, I had to run the installer, then search my profile path for 'chrome' and manually run the installer it extracts.

I found a Chrome installer log.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Here is a review comparing the current Chrome beta to Firefox 3 and the current IE8 beta: [link]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The annoying thing about Firefox 3 is the autofillin thinger in the address bar, but fortunately the SO figured me out a way to nix it.

Haven't tried Chrome yet.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

From the review dcp linked to:

Luckily, there's a small add-on program for Firefox that lets the user prevent Flash files from running automatically when a page loads, and it turns Firefox into a stable, efficient browser.

Anyone know the name of (or where to find) this add-in?

t edit Maybe this one? [link]
