If a site wants me to view a M$-IE 'browser specific extension' while using konq, no thank you, I do well without.
I agree. Opera users( which is my main browser) have had this problem for years, although it is very easy to change your browser ID. But I refused to do that. If I can't get on the way I want , then stuff those people and I go to the next side which will accept me.
Excellent, but it's important to go further when you have the time. I have taken to calling the 800 phone # if available for tech support as well as e-mailing the appropriate people. I complain / encourage the companies who want my money to support the browsers and operating systems I use. I also make a point of naming the competitor that is going to receive my business thanks to their supporting my freedom of choice. Sometimes it seems like arguing with the cashier over 3cents change but its the only thing that will break us free from conformity. Pretending to use what is asked for will only serve to further entrench the very system I'm opposed to. - -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com (GoogleGear.com!) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFArsZyBwgxlylUsJARAgASAJ0cHS1VeR/0iQMK3O1fbXLG3zASXACgi4/1 R1NY4gQQzbGcpOECb5/d+U8= =aRWr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
