    That page is... horribly coded. Seriously. Using table or layouts? It's 2015, man. You should really learn how to do things.
    The page is a mess, but the fix (well, band-aid) is simple:
    add a margin-top: -4px; to the table. Fixed.
    If you seriously wanna paypal me for that, you can send the money to

    Only those of us who don't want to use the Chrome spyware that octogooglepus has inflicted upon the world.

    Of course people use FF - it's, hands down, the best browser out there - simply because people first make plugins for Firefox, before they make them for Chrome. And no, there aren't really any competition for those two. Safari and IE both suck, Opera is a bloated trainwreck (and basically just Chrome in disguise), old Opera doesn't work, the Opera-clone by the old members of the Opera-team still suck (although I think it might become good)... and then there aren't that many left.

    Yeah only reason Chrome is 1st most popular browser is because Google push it on people so much.
    There's a link to download it on every Google sign in page.

    Or who need a browser who's ui isn't pathetic crippleware akin to IE 4 Mac circa 1997. NOT that FF is any better out of box, but at least you can add things like "tree view tabs" and such.

    ... and as to the OP's problem, it's the same as every other post they've made of outdated, outmoded, outright broken nonsense gibberish websites. That it works in ANY browser is shocking. Tables for layout, tables for NOTHING, fixed width layout, attributes that have NO business on any website written after 1997, static style in the markup, gibberish use of classes, gibberish classes, overstuffed keywords meta with zero relevance...

    It's just another laundry list of how NOT to build a website! Throw it out and start over, there is NOTHING worth even trying to salvage from that mess!!!

    The ONLY excuse for a site being that bad is it being over a decade and a half old, as the methods used to build it were old and BAD then. Bad... really bad... No... just for the love of the sun, NO!

    I do. The development tools are more comprehensive, or at least more intuitive for my tired head. Oddly enough, recently Chrome has become slower rendering than Firefox.

    You packet monitor mainstream Chrome is wasting more time randomly contacting Google's servers -- making @COBOLdinosaur's paranoia seem significantly less like tinfoil hat territory. They've also made the caching policy identical to the memory restricted mobile one equally pissing on it's speed.

    About the only "speedy" thing in Blink right now is the V8 JavaScript engine, the rest of the browser is going... strange places.

    Firefox also seems to handle the new TLS/SSL/HTTPS rules and protocols better/faster, which is why right now it's the only browser I would even think of coming to these forums using now that Opera 12 is unsupported.

    Or at least I can use FF once I add adblock, noscript, nosquint, stylish, my own custom CSS rules applied via stylish, greasemonkey scripts to neuter the crap adblock doesn't hit like those idiotic inline auto-links...

    Very, very slow development behind Chrome. Can't compete with native app on mobile.

    Yeah us web techies use it for the plugin. But for actual browsing, I feel like every day folk use their OS's default browser or if they are more savvy they use Chrome.

    I'm pretty sure tech savviosity has jack to do with it; more likely it's a case of "Oooh, shiny." Chrome has a sh*tty UI that I haven't got the energy to dig through and figure out how to make it less of a mystery meat — or if it's even possible. I think I saw Jason bitch about that, too. I know that FF has managed to screw up the default UI, but as he said, you can make FF work as you want it, not as some googly-eyed UI developer thinks it ought to be.

    cheers,

    A matter of perception only. Some webkit bugs have taken over 2 years to fix and the blink record is no better. Chrome looks like it is moving ahead faster because of all the hyphen hacks they use to fake standards compliance. The intent of the hyphen hacks is to allow for experimental implementations. That is hoe Firefox has always used them and they generally only need them for 2 or 3 releases before they reach full compliance. Chrome on the other hand shoves in the first load of crap that looks like it might work, and some of them become almost permanent. I took the 2 years to fix calc() so it would work with vh and vw. Firefox had it right from day one; and even IE got it pretty close with the exception of a small bug because they rounded where they should have truncated. IE had if fixed and working right a year before Chrome.

    So if you are impressed by the smoke and mirrors from Google you probably need to lift the curtain to what is there before you head back to Kansas.
