You know what really grinds my gears? Internet Explorer 7 was a perfectly fine browser, especially because it supports tabbed browsing and loads quickly, unlike Firefox and the rest (being part of the OS). Then I decided to upgrade to IE8. Everything appeared to be fine, until I browsed over to Mobygames. Mobygames has a large depository of uncompressed, pixel-accurate screenshots of older DOS games. Mostly I am talking about 320x200 resolution screenshots, generally in the gif or png format. The site also doubles the size of the screenshots by default. In IE7, these double-sized screenshots are crisp and razor sharp, with each pixel being displayed twice, horizontally & vertically. In IE8, the picture is doubled in size, but the image appears to have filtering applied to it. This is not the ideal way to resize these images. I can discover no way to turn this off, so I am stuck with having to continue to use IE8 or keep the image sizes small.
Does anyone know of a way to turn this off in IE8? Is there a current browser that rezises the picture in a way like IE7?
