Of course you want your site to be viewable by the largest audience possible. And since basically every PC already has IE right out of the box, it’s going to be the most widely used browser. ---

I was just trying to say that there is a standard in which all browsers are supposed to follow when interpreting code. Microsoft purposfully doesn’t play by the rules to keep people away from the other browsers, which I believe have much better features. They took control early and that’s really the only thing they have going for them. ---

I used to be a hardcore IE fan until i tried firefox a couple years back, now i HATE opening up IE. I really haven’t had any problems with pages loading properly but have had a few quirks here and there. ---

opera owns all used to be a fan of firefox untill i found opera, it does all the same shit plus alot more, if you have decent computer it wont matter what browser you use and every browser has plugins that will make anything work the way it is supposed to, if it doesnt it isn’t worth using. ---
