Yes, but can your browser do THIS?

October 8, 2010 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Not necessarily so much the browser as the operating system! Looks like IE has encountered a problem. It might have something to do with Solitaire. :p:

    This is standard feature of all IE versions. To be honest, I had once similar effect with Opera, but only once. :smile:

    Maybe every IE version is more buggy as a Opera snapshot,

    maybe MS IE is just malware. :lol:

    A few years ago most people were getting the bug shown there with IE 6 and some error message would pop up and the user would drag the message box around and it would fill up the screen just like http://mrdoob.com/lab/javascript/effects/ie6/

  • Bill MitchesonTuesday, October 12, 2010 12:18:47 AM

    Thank you for the awesome link!! A couple years ago I went to the Dark Side and got a Mac, so I haven't seen that silliness on my screen for a while! It's nice to go to a website and remember just why I left the world of PC's. It's really nice that I can leave once I've had enough fun. And I don't need to do the three finger salute when I'm done either! Super funny!!!

    A friend of mine opened about 80 tabs just to enjoy the graphical effect of closing all tabs. But Opera works fast and doesn't crash. Slightly different! :bigsmile:

  • Jimmy FosterThursday, October 14, 2010 12:59:05 AM
