Firefox 3: recommend: wait

[jacojdm]

Chrome initially seemed great, but I soon missed the spell checker and AutoFill facilities in Firefox

I cannot help but wonder how Firefox handles words such as

aeroplane, behove, carburettor, colour, speciality, fillet, coupé...and many others.

Just install British dictionary Add-on - simple

Not a small percentage of Americans are annoyed when confronted with

Press "1" for English. Press "2" for Spanish.

Yup -- or the (in my opinion) even worse:

"If you're calling from a touch-tone phone, please press 1."

(not always followed by, but clearly implying, "if you're calling from a rotary phone, please press 2." )

I shouldah knowed. <--(Americun spellangs)...

...but does it (maybe just slightly, even though you're quite a laid-back dude) piss you off a bit to have someone define YOUR language as "British English". Isn't "British"..."English"...??

Not really - there are a lot more important things in life to get worked up about! I'm anyway pretty international in outlook (after all I play German rotary tubas and have a Chinese girlfriend). I am not concerned about using American spellings. I will happily write color, instead of colour if corresponding with one of my friends across the pond.

bloke "who just generated four red underlines in this field...and doesn't that guy know how to spell 'Tindall'...??"

phpBB has its own spell check. So, even if one has installed the FF British English add on, phpBB may still recognize words as misspelled.

I've been using Chrome since the weekend it was released, and I'm still loving it. It does, by the way, have a built in spell checker...

For what it's worth, I had been running Firefox for at least a few years before switching to Chrome. I've actually opened Firefox a few times recently, and been amazed at how much I don't like it anymore... (version 3.0.1)

I have about every browser I you guys have probably known of on a Windows machine. Let's see...Primary is Firefox 3...Then, I have Chrome, Safari, IE, SpaceTime, Opera, and Flock. My list of what I like most? Probably like this:
1. Firefox. With enough good add-ons, it's fun, convenient, and probably the safest one I have. But like I said, with add-ons.
2. SpaceTime. That one is really cool. Use its search feature, and it will come up with the google page (or what ever you are searching) and also with the other pages themselves. You can look at 2 pages at the same time without another browser window.
3. Chrome. Similar to Safari, too. The thing it has over Safari is the task manager. But I don't like the layout of the top, and you can't rearrange it from what I've experienced.
4. Opera. But I haven't used it enough to give enough of a review of it.
5. Safari. Also tabbed browsing...And an Apple product. Like all Apple products, you can't change it much.
6. Flock. It's a lot like Firefox. Only make for teens.
7. IE. Just not my thing. But it works...
And yes, I use all of them, it just depends on my mood. Usually I use Firefox. I could probably get rid of all my other browsers, but I like keeping them so I can change it up if I want...
