Secunia is currently running a poll with the question

What browser do you trust the most?

. I say Opera 9, and you? (notes: link isn't direct to the poll, there's no direct link to the poll, but that page should display the poll on the right side).

Firefox: more than just bugs

, , ,

I knew Mozilla Firefox was plenty of bugs, but, this master privacy bug says it all: Firefox is not a day-a-day browser, it isn't as 'secure' as everybody says. And, I don't think it is ready to be used as a tool for places where privacy is the first word of your work.

GMail, now with Google Talk for Opera

, , , ...

After waiting for so long I just noticed that the Google Talk block that used to appear only in Firefox and IE is now showing up in Opera too. And it works!

I remember that sometime ago when I installed Opera 9.0 I tried to use the GMail's built-in Google Talk by faking the Opera's UA to IE. But it didn't work. I don't know if they where just blocking the UA, making some validations by checking for opera.something or something like that.

But I'm happy to know I mostly don't need to use any other browser than Opera for browsing any website.
Now what I still hope it will work too is the HTMLArea WYSIWYG editor.

Soft hyphen issue

, , , ...

Today has been a busy day... all half day spent by checking this soft hyphen issue; Even when I found this yesterday, today I read what a user could do with this browsers bug. So finally I wrote a prevention patch for phpBB that can be found on my forums.
As I say there, it is not a bug on phpBB code.
And after doing some tests, I noticed that this issue happens on Opera too, even when you can write it, when a page loads, you don't see it. But I have to make sure that this always happens.
So, according to my tests the current affected browsers are:
  • Mozilla-based browsers(Firefox, K-Meleon, etc.)
  • Internet Explorer
  • Opera
