A spell checker doesn’t sound like a necessity, and it shall rather take some RAM memory for nothing really most of the time.
I wonder how long it will take until Firefox and Opera make it to Microsoft’s level of software bloating. Nice features are, well, nice—but both sofware have inbuilt expansion systems, by which a spell checker could be installed. So an inbuilt spell checker sounds to me like one less reason to support Firefox, actually.
Oh, and by the way… I’m posting this from Opera. So far so good, but I can’t get used to many of its features, so I might be migrating back to Firefox. I miss the good, old, 100%–hackeable Firebird. It was so opensource you could actually open its files on notepad, change them, restart the program and it would be updated. That was awesome.
Opera was always slower for me, but I did use about:config to speed up firefox to work better with my system.
I like the BBcode plugin for firefox. To auto format text and stuff. You can add custom ones with it too, so for those who use the DJ codes for ND/LD etc can add those.
I use Internet Explorer for Ld4all and Ytmnd. The rest of the time I pretty much use firefox. It has been my experience that firefox is great for pretty much anything that only involves text/images. I have all the plugins but it still messed up with anything else. IE for life.
I recently decided to start using my old laptop (300 MHZ processor and 97MB memory) for school. It doesn’t run FireFox too well, so I decided to go with a text-based browser, Links2. If you guys want the fastest, least bloated browser; this is it.
I use IE 7. The only reason why i use IE is because thats the first browser I started using years ago. If i started out on firefox, then I’m sure that would be my browser of choice today.
I guess it just feels funny to me when i use a browser that i’m not used to using. For the record, I also have Opera and firefox but hardly ever use them. Like I said, other browsers just dont feel “right” although the other browsers do more than my IE
Firefox 2 has that ability, you need to install a dictionary of your choice though. But once you have your chosen dictionary it will spell check as you type, much like Word does.
it spell checks as you type
it was GREAT
