In an era where technological advancements shape the world around us, the evolution of web browsers and their compatibility with various sites remains a pivotal aspect of digital navigation. Recently, there has been a notable shift in how web content is formatted and displayed, reflecting a broader trend in the tech industry towards seamless user experiences.

One of the most significant developments in this realm is the gradual phasing out of older versions of Internet Explorer by many websites. This change ensures enhanced security, improved speed, and better support for modern web standards. As Internet Explorer’s influence wanes, it marks the end of an era for a browser that once dominated internet access but now struggles to keep up with the demands of today’s dynamic web environment.

The transition away from Internet Explorer isn’t just about aesthetics or keeping up with trends; it’s a necessary step towards a more secure online experience. Websites that previously had to rely on complex scripts and workarounds to ensure compatibility with IE are now able to streamline their coding processes. This shift allows for cleaner, more efficient sites that load faster and are less prone to bugs and vulnerabilities.

Omniture, a company known for its advanced analytics solutions, has also been adapting to these changes. Their SiteCatalyst code, a tool used for tracking and analyzing web traffic, is continually updated to cater to the latest browser technologies. This ensures that businesses relying on Omniture’s services can access accurate data analytics without being hindered by outdated browser issues.

As we embrace this new chapter in web development, the focus remains on enhancing the user experience while maintaining high standards of security and speed. The decline of Internet Explorer serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of technology, where adaptation and innovation are key to staying relevant in the fast-paced digital landscape.

A major cruise company is apparently charging passengers more than five times the price for water than a year ago. 

Premium liner Princess Cruises offers trips to more than 100 countries around the world. 

But holidaymakers hoping to enjoy a trip onboard one of the ships could see themselves coughing up a substantial amount for water. 

A passenger, who does not wish to be named, revealed to the Daily Mail he had been hit with a whopping £34.83 charge for 12 500ml bottles of water.

The price was offered as a ‘pre-cruise exclusive’ according to a screenshot of the offerings.  

He is set to enjoy a retirement trip with his wife in March next year and had looked at the pre-cruise packages beforehand.

The 54-day itinerary will travel from Los Angeles to the South Pacific islands, New Zealand and Australia.

According to the passenger, the same pack cost just £6 earlier last year, before being increased to £18 in September 2024.

At £34.83, the price has increased by more than five times compared to a year ago. 

The holidaymaker says he was informed by Princess Cruises that the £34.83 was set and nothing could be done about it.

The representative did encourage him to complain, however, and this was passed on to the complaints team. 

The Daily Mail has approached Princess Cruises for comment. 

It comes after we revealed a potentially more value-for-money opportunity.

A cruise line is offering retirees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live permanently at sea with the introduction of a ‘Golden Passport’.

Endless Horizons is a newly formed ‘residence-at-sea’ programme set up by Villa Vie Residences, granting guests ‘lifetime living’ on a fleet of all-inclusive cruise ships. 

Starting at $99,999 (£75,000), guests who hold a Golden Passport will sail continuously on cruises to more than 400 destinations across 140 countries, with each sailing lasting from three to three-and-a-half years in length. 

At £34.83, the price has increased by more than five times compared to a year ago

Most of the port visits will range from two to three days, giving guests ample time to explore each destination while the ship is docked. 

Guests will be offered an ‘all-inclusive lifestyle’ that covers dining, laundry, housekeeping, entertainment and internet access, as well as wine or beer served with meals. 

Service charges will also be included, and ticket holders will be exempt from hidden fees and port taxes.   

With the Golden Passport, guests will also be entitled to free annual medical check-ups to ensure their health is in top condition. 

The programme offers age-bracketed pricing, with the $99,000 option specifically reserved for those aged 90 and above.
