Progressive Enhancements with CSS3
CSS3 is great! The themers and designers here at centresource all love the improvements that are now available to (most) modern browsers. The best part of CSS3 is that the changes are subtle, and a site can still look fantastic without using any of the new styles.
The idea of “progressive enhancement” is to get a site looking the way to want in all of the current browsers, then add some enhancements that most of those browsers can understand. It’s kind of like a bonus for the users of the more progressive browsers. Since they are savvy enough to know what browsers are on top, they can reap the rewards of the polish that CSS3 allows for a website.
Firefox 2.0
I just read a quick review of Firefox 2.0. I am not terribly impressed — with Firefox itself, or the review for that matter:
The first thing that stands out in the new Firefox is the more modern, snappier look and feel. Everything is more shinny, more playful and more clickable.

Opera 9 Beta Cookies Bug
I would be trying out Opera 9 beta right about now, but it appears that the cookies bug described here has been made worse with Opera 9 Beta. The workaround no longer works at all.

Opera 9 Beta
Looks like the Opera 9 Beta is out.
Get it while it’s hot!
Opera ACID2 History
A concise history of Opera’s ACID2 results. Pretty funny. (And impressive!)
Opera 9TP2 Cookies bug
The problem I alluded to in my brief review of Opera 9.0 TP2 is simple: In the site-specific preferences, if you set the default to “Never accept cookies” — it does just that, ignoring your site-specific exclusions. This appears to be because although the option to honor your site-specific prefs is still there, they just .. forgot to let you select it in the UI.
So, as discussed here, all you have to do is manually edit your opera6.ini to set your cookie preferences how you want them and leave it alone. The table of values for “Enable Cookies” can be found here.
