Nothing puts me off a site faster than it telling me that it looks better in a certain browser at a certain resolution.

BTW that XML driven site renders fine in Firefox 3.

I should start a debate on if the direction web design is taking is a good thing or not. With some of the CSS level 3 specs it is getting more like programming and less like designing.


Oh and as to the identity theft problem whilst using a good browser would help (all three major browsers now have phishing filters built in) nothing will replace common sense and better educating people to the danger of phishing and how to avoid it. And yes I know not all identity theft is via phishing sites. Networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace have also got a lot to answer for letting people post their details on a web page without first informing them of the possible dangers.


I've always felt their should be an international organisation that can police the internet properly. With powers to do such things as close down hosts who happily host abusers. Countries that ignore this organisations advice could get their connection to the rest of the world cut or restricted. Draconian I know but I can see no other way of stopping companies like LayeredTech and all the piracy sites.
