"I played around with it a bit, but it's just another browser, and IE [Microsoft's Internet Explorer] is better," Mr Gates told me, and challenged my assertion that Firefox's 'market share' is growing rapidly.

Oh MY GOD!! How can he say IE is better??!?!?!?


oh wait.....Something about it being his product might do that. :D

I use firefox. What we are going to see is IE co opting everything Opera and Firefox do for their next release (as usual). Of course, they will probably still avoid the standards THEY HELPED WRITE and use proprietary shit. Of course, I don't blame them entirely for making stuff wacky when it comes to stanards. While the ydid just plain ignore some things, W3C standards are just too fucking loose and leave alot of interpretation. Unfortunately, MS chose the way that makes everything harder when it comes to cross browser web development (which is what I do).

And for that reason, IE is the bane of my existence.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

I got a copy of IE7 beta. Now it's probably an outdated beta (I've probably had it for 6 months by now) and I don't use it enough to get it set up the way I'd like it, but I absolutely HATE it. They've added tabbed browsing, which I know people love but it's the first thing I shut off in firefox. Can't stand it. Never figured out how to shut it off in IE7. I was totally turned off by it when I loaded up my start page, yahoo mail, and found that it told me I needed to upgrade my browser. Yahoo did get that issue fixed.

Unless IE7 is MUCH different when it gets released, Firefox has nothing to worry about...

BTW, attached are some recent browser stats for SkydivingMovies.com (just the last couple months).

A recent post re difficulties with IE made me realise I haven't seen much evangilising about Firefox here.

Its more secure, free (as in speech and beer) and what all the cool kids are using. :)
Try it today, only a 5 Mb download from www.mozilla.com

While you're at it check out Thunderbird from the same site, Its a good alternative to Outlook.

F*ck Internet Exploiter. I haven't used that spyware whore engine for at least three or four years.
