Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0 have built-in antiphishing features designed to alert you when you've hit a fraudulent site. In the new SmartWare test, which was sponsored by Mozilla, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 blocked 690 known phishing sites, or 66.35 percent of the total. In contrast, Mozilla's Firefox blocked 78.85 percent when using a local antiphishing database and 81.54 percent when using the online database.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
ever since i have heard of firefox i have been using it. i love firefox its just cool.
So I can try it out and whatnot?
This is News4Gamers. I don't see how someone's choice of Internet Browser affects gaming.
It seems that you do all you can to find things wrong with Microsoft. It's pretty sad that you have to post this. It's also pretty sad that the moderators allowed this through.
Reasons: some how in the infinite wisdom of the MS developers they some how deiced to make IE7 more compliant with web standards then IE6. Well in doing so they have managed to make IE7 less compliant then IE6. So a lot of websites don’t look as the developers intended them to. Next you are stuck with the view they deiced you to have and you cannot change things around. Most of the Addons don’t work in IE7….
I think it was a smart move by Nintendo for going with Opera web browser. As for Firefox it supports a lot of addons but also isn’t 100% compliant. My vote is going for one of the two but not IE7.

Here is the sad part. Most websites are developed with IE in mind first. and pretty much all intranet web applications are designed the IE in mind since it allows you to do many things with activex. Eventhough it is true that Opera or other browsers follow the web standards better than IE the fact is that you have a better chance that the web page you are viewing will work on IE than other browsers. It is only now the web developers are starting to become more aware of the need of cross-browser development since IE is losing market shares.
As a web developer I can tell you, what killed microsoft it was not the lack of feature and code support, but the extra features they added that that werent approved by the W3C. for example ActiveX and VBScript and Ajax support. IE was the first browser to add Ajax functionality which every other browser maker ignored. Finally, browsers are adopting ajax now. Anyways, I have pretty much all browsers install since the project I work for must be cross browser, I sudgest you try them yourself. Most people are bias against IE simply because is made by microsoft. It is always good to have more than one browser install in your computer, so when the time comes that the page you are viewing does not work you are able to switch browsers. At the end of the day you don't open a browser to admire how web compliant it is, but to display a website.
