GIMPEL Yes, Mark Everitt, english is not my native language, I can speak and write in three languages fluently. English is only the fourth and I'm not so good at it, sorry. My statement is: Today a browser without integrated javascript- or adblocking or plugin-managment is an anachronism in my eyes. It's like an texteditor without search & replace. The most important basic features are missing. I can't give a big hurray to a browser that simply can display webpages, there must be more, something unique, real features, to applaude. I don't write with simpletext anymore and I don't want to surf with simpleweb, I want the comfort to block unneeded content while I am surfing. For example, If you surf a long day with safari (which is fast) you get thousands of offensive ads, I just want to filter the most. And I don't like javascripts that open 3 or 4 windows in the background when you click on just one link. I think an alternative browser shoul'd do that better, otherwise it' not an alternative for me. Last week I had to do some research with google, I've been looking for informations about breast cancer (my mother is very ill), I got many rersults in google, so I surfed the web the whole day, and I had to watch thousands of ads (the most were with sexual content, must have been the word "breast"). I don't like to read about penis-enlargement (I surely don't have one, so nothing can't get bigger here) when I'm looking for something importment to me. One site with online-poker foollowed me for hours, that makes me angry, - because I have no browser that protects me from such things. Firefox crashed to often, so I tried camino. It was the same thing as with safari, only a bit slower. In 2008 it shouldn't be needed to install extra (mostly buggy) plugins to just block aggressive ads, that should be implemented in a modern browser and it should be well done, I think. Camino just hides ads with css, that's what I did ten years ago in netscape. (The ads are all loaded, just hidden, that costs bandwith). So Camino in 2008 has no adblocking, just adhiding. And if you want to use javascript on one page but not on the other you have to go your long way thru the preferences everytime, the same for plugins. That's as primitive as my use of your language... If you want to read flummeries, than read their self-praise in the camino description here on the site. (Version 1.6) |
