The fact is that there is no working web browser > for linux. Oh don't be so melodramatic. I have been using firefox (on both windows and linux) since its pre-alpha days and have only rarely (and not recently) had any problems with websites not working correctly. This includes secure banking with numerous banks, media websites, airline bookings, etc...
I wish that I have had your luck. I've had to do UA spoofing and switch between Opera/FIrefox/IE in wine. I STILL have to run IE in wine for a number of Hebrew websites, notably Walla Mail that my wife uses. She cannot change email address (to many old friends) and Walla ONLY works in IE. Maybe English language sites are better, but the Hebrew internet is, as we say in Hebrew, on it's face.
I know that I prefer to have a secure browser (and OS) and work around the very occasional missing "feature" (more often than not an advertisement). Les, can you point us to the bug report you have of course filed regarding the citicards website problem?
I wrote to citicard just a few hours ago. I've yet to get a reply from them. I doubt that citicard has a public bugzilla.
OSS goes both ways - don't just complain about the problems without contributing to fixing them.
I wasn't complaining. I was stating facts. And I've taken steps to correct the problem- I suggested to Aaron that he write to Fox and CNN, and I've writtne to them myself. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/artist_albums/229/ice-t.html http://essentialinux.com/linux-software.php
