Really? I read that it would support the same as all the other decent browsers and you wouldn't need all the hacks you needed before.

[rangana]

Yes....

Its the only browser that will not support opacity

What about the stupid flash thing, where you have to activate it first? Anyone know if they've changed that?

It can be new and all, but... It's still only IE.

If you embed the flash correctly, you wont need to activate it.

[Johnathan]

Was the activation thing not a safety feature that you had to use another hack for, even if you did embed it correctly?

[flabbyrabbit]

For IE you had to include extra javascript and stuff to make it disappear. All a bit silly in my mind.

Microsoft simply likes being difficult... to them it seems to be that difficult = advanced.
