Sadly I use IE... sometimes I switch to Crazy Browser. (Which is really a "plug-in" for IE).

But that's becasue I use the Alexa tool bar.... Unfortuanely I need it for the sites.

I only use IE for my webmail account that I check every few days. The M$ only design doesn't let me delete mail in Firebird.

Firebird is teh roxx0r!

I've noticed some sites have javascripts that don't work in Firebird.

That's what this is. Most likely some rogue barely-works-in-IE crap.

I tried Firebird but just didn't like the feel that much. Guess I am just a creature of habit and stuck with IE

IE...just cause I'm comfortable with it.

You know, before Firebird, I had to wait forever on the front pages of this and other news/reviews sites because IE would try to load almost everything before showing the page. Now, with Firebird, I get the pages in seconds and the graphics follow (dial-up here guys).

The other thing is, Spork ran some bandwidth tests in IE and Firebird, and he got 1.7Mbps (I think) in IE, and 2-2.1Mbpsin Firebird on the same test!

I used to use IE just because it comes with the installation of windows and it's already there, but when I tried my site in other browsers just for fun and realized everything was completly out of wack, I switched to mozilla and remade my site using mozilla to test, and now my site works in every single browser but IE. Grin

It works in IE, there's just lot of dumb things that IE does such as skipping every few right borders for the articles, and ingoring the center cell of one of my tables and such.

IE = MS = MS version of W3C lol
