Unknown to most Internet users, it seems, is that Internet browsers can save files. Have any of you tried that?

Most browsers offer HTML-ONLY, and this HTML-ONLY plus a new Folder. Internet-Explorer-based ones (“Green Browser” is preferred to Crazy, Avant & Maxthon as my favorite) also offers saving in only ONE-INTEGRATED, COMPRESSED file. Mozilla, Google & Apple browsers do not offer this last MHT file format.

MHT is not propriety. On Internet-Explorer-based browsers, this file saving can take seconds or minutes to do. Only OPERA browser can do this file saving INSTANTLY! OPERA (Linux & Windows) seems to be freeware now.

Thanks for your reply. I think most webdeveloper try to work with w3c but it gets difficult when using software from a third party which they cannot correct or it is extremely difficult.

There has been many time when I have tried scripts on the website and it fails the w3c test. Generally I don’t think programmers work toward this standard, they are more concerned with the scripts working and forget all about the w3c standard as it works.

If your a webdeveloper you should go by the w3c standards all new browsers go by this they just add function and tags just to stand out of the crowd the only exception is dillo browser for linux and windows but i think their frozen anyway

All browsers should have the same standard. Not make it up as they go along…

The biggest pain in the neck for all webmasters. The difference is supposed to be the speed and functionality.

I use Mozilla Firefox and I must agree that tabbed document interface is the best improvement ever made! When I noticed that Firefox provided tabbed browsing I decided to change IE to Firefox as my default web browser.

Personas for Firefox (made by Mozilla themselves) is personally the best browser skinner I’ve seen as of late: http://www.getpersonas.com/

I like the fact that browsers can be skined. It may seem trivial, but I like to personalize everything on my computer. Also some of the skins actually make the browser more user friendly in terms of the size of the icons, images, etc. I use Opera because I started with it and I feel a bond to it somehow ever since.

I primarily use Opera for linux and windows. I love the bookmark toolbar, I use it with the favicons and have no text next to them, it really maximizes my space. I also love the trash can at the right end of the tab bar, it lets me get back any tab that I closed during the current session. As you mentioned, the ability to have any search engine I want integrated into the browser. But what’s really cool in Opera, don’t know if others do it as well, is that I can assign a letter to each search engine. To quickly search from that engine/site all I have to do is type in a search engine’s assigned letter and a space, and then my search info.
