Websites that purposely break IE7 to make you get firefox..

OK this is getting out of hand, i can see and understand promoting firefox, what ever, no problems, either you love it or hate it or don't give a shit.

FINE

BUT screw the hell off on making website load, and then after it finishes, forceing the webpage to redirect you if your using IE7, to a webpage that says "This page cannot be displayed because your using IE7 and not firefox. download firefox now for free and fix the issues that would have been presented if IE7 would have completed this page"

OR something similare.

People are now creating some video websites that not state that you must have firefox to continue playing this video, It's faster and more reliable then IE7, will even speed up video streaming and such.

FFS, lies.

I simply ignore this shit and move on, but more and more people are getting sucked into it. and then ontop of it all, stateing how incapatible IE7 is due to these websites that are becoming more frequently seen.

Building for firefox is even fine, but purposely BREAKING what already works for a specific browser is beyond low, i'd rather get infected by a virus then accept that bullshit.

IE Refuses to work with any website i develop in dreamweaver, yet firefox works with every single one i've ever made.
I agree it's ridiculous tbh, if the site didn't work properly in IE then fine, recommend FF by all means :\
But breaking it? Good thing i use FF full time then

Anything you make in dreamweaver?

Anything i've constructed has worked without a flaw in IE7?

you got an examples.. what doesn't work?

Meh, just use Opera. And if a site refuses to load in anything than FF, stop using it.

FF sucks.. It's a Pile-Of-Shit, unstable, always-needs-an-update, needs-a-thousand-worthless-outdated-plugins-to-be-functional, crap, garbage, rat-turd mess.

you have any proof of this judas? you seem to make a bunch of blatant statements, but no links to back it up.

i'm w/BWX, IE7 FTW

.

however, FF > IE6, lol. only reason is because of the tabbed browsing.

I never have any problems with FF.

You download it and it just works. They came along away from needing to download all those plug-ins i think. Have not had to download one in months so I think they are included now?

It never crashes,goes real fast, tab browsing etc.

But just like anything it is just a choice and they all take you to the same internet so it really does not matter.
