What browser are you guys using?

I have tried with both Explorer & Firefox and they seem fine. I will try Chrome as soon as I can. (If you are using Safari, then i will have to leave it to someone else to try as I don't think it safe to browse with it.)

Thanks Skiddy, but sorry to say I only got the answers from No 7 onwards.

Enough to know I probably did'nt win. Is google chrome a browser ' cos that's what we use.

Thanks a lot for that Skid. I got a fair few right but as I didn't enter the chances of winning are slim.

As for what browser, it's a much tinkered with copy of NetFront running on an even more tinkered with Access Linux Platform (mobile). Not really surprising that sometimes things fail to work.

The only Linux versions I have are Ubuntu and Chrome, so unless it runs on them I haven't got a chance to even try it! I must admit that i thought it only ran on phones and similar devices. I suspect the esteemed Mr. Fforde forgot to include it in his page testing.

I can play with anything which runs on Windows 3.11/98/XP/7, OS10.4 (Tiger)/10.7 (Lion), Chrome 21 or Ubuntu 12.04 but I don't have a smartphone so that is a world of mystery to me.

Yes. You will go to heaven or not. Regardless what you confess.



Even my outlandish iCab browser can read the page with only a limited number of html errors.

By the way, I only managed to achieve one correct answer (the 451 one).



I guess a chromebook is this.
