16 month-old bug continues to crash Flash

He discovered this bug in September of 2008 and has reported it to Adobe, which hasn’t fixed it yet.

16 months later.

If you’d like to test it for yourself, make sure there’s nothing important open in your browser window and head to http://flashcrash.dempsky.org/.

Safari and Google Chrome are fine, as they have separated the plugin into its own process, meaning it crashes the plugin and not the browser. But IE and Firefox will quit as soon as you visit the page.

“ The real situation is that today, two and a half years after the iPhone debuted, web developers can no longer count on every viewer being able to render Flash. The percentage of web user agents with Flash installed is now going down, not up. My money says that trend is permanent, and further, it’ll reach a tipping point in the not-so-distant future and Flash will turn into something like Internet Explorer.

With every sale of the iPad that’s one more person using a high class standards-based web browser (Safari) and email client (Mail). Yay!

“ Any IT professional who is still allowing IE6 to be used in a corporate setting is guilty of malpractice. Think that judgment is too harsh? Ask the security experts at Google, Adobe, and dozens of other large corporations that are cleaning up the mess from a wave of targeted attacks that allowed source code and confidential data to fall into the hands of well-organized intruders. The entry point? According to Microsoft, it’s IE6.

Ed Bott: It’s time to stop using IE6 (via Daring Fireball).

This is because working with Safari/Google Chrome is a dream, and I enjoy it so much.

Then when it comes to testing in Internet Explorer I just want to scream.

A beautiful overview of Chrome’s features.

“ Microsoft has no choice but to make a leap of development faith, by abandoning the IE rendering engine and releasing new WebKit-based desktop and mobile browsers. IE is a dead platform.

Joe Wilcox, Microsoft should dig into the WebKit to stop Google from framing IE

I have added some support for Internet Explorer 8 on my site, as it was looking a bit of a mess before.

I refuse to support the horrible messes that are older versions of Internet Explorer though, so if you’re still on IE6 or IE7, I urge you to update your browser (Safari is a good choice, or Firefox).

Please note that this is my own personal view and does not reflect the views of Rubious.

What is a Browser?

rubious:

Lots of our time each day is spent online, and every page on the web is experienced through the browser. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that there are many browsers out there, which differ on features like speed, security and extensibility.

So, the next time you find yourself as the informal tech support for your family and friends, make sure to explain why their browser matters — and of course, what it is!

Microsoft.com is still using this meta tag, which forces Internet Explorer 8 to ‘emulate IE7’.

What this means is they do not have either the time or the ability to fix their website so that it displays correctly in their newest browser.

What a poor effort.
