well you want "release early, release often", then you live with bugs
clearly ff should pay more attention to quality, but i don't want to go to an IE-like model of only updating the browser every 2.5 years...its likely this lagged release model coupled with microsoft's closed source that also results in fewer bug reports
opera in last is no shock, no one uses it
no one should be surprised that the two browsers with the most releases, access to source and the shortest development cycles have the most bugs...they also have the most features
- blasdel 17y agoWebKit has a dramatically faster development cycle than Firefox, much less Gecko itself. They also have a much larger and more diverse community of people hacking on and interfacing with the rendering engine, since it's actually palatable to link against without the XUL ball-and-chain.
- endtime 17y ago>opera in last is no shock, no one uses it Ahem, I use it. I'm actually surprised the count's so low, since I have minor but consistent issues with sites such as Facebook. Or perhaps those sorts of bugs aren't included (and I suppose it might be Facebook's fault, since O10 does pass Acid3).
- sgift 17y agoThey only counted security problems, not bugs in the implementation of html, css and so on. Otherwise IE would be the worst offender by a wide margin. p.s.: I use Opera too and the browser market is an amusing market. It is a market where you can have about 3% of 1.7 billion internet users and people still say "no one" is using your software.
