Opera 9.5: More compatible with Windows Live Hotmail than Firefox 3, Safari 3.1, or Internet Explorer 8!

Saturday, 14. June 2008, 20:48:42

, , , , , ,

After writing my previous post, I realized: why only test Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5? Windows Live Hotmail is a pretty friggin' important site, so it should work everywhere!

So, I decided to test Hotmail's full "AJAX" version in the newest available versions of all 4 major browsers.

Opera 9.50 Final:
Full version
Opera 9.50 supports the full version of Windows Live Hotmail without any problems, thanks to Opera's innovative browser.js site patching.


Safari 3.1.1 Final:
Redirected to classic version
Safari is not supported by Windows Live Hotmail's full version. At least the classic version works.


Firefox 3.0 RC3:
Error, redirected to classic version
Although Firefox is a supported browser for Hotmail, the latest version doesn't seem to work. Again, at least the classic version still works.


Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1:
Classic version unusable!
Sometimes, I wonder if the folks who work for Microsoft actually use their own browser...
