Re: Why You Should Dump Internet Explorer

That's what the "view in IE" extension is for. But I stopped visiting those IE-only sites a long time ago. Don't seem to be many left anyway.

The really funny ones are the ones that say "please use the latest version of IE or Netscape"... erm, Netscape shares the same engine as Firefox... that caused me to put "Netscape" in my UA string a while ago, but those websites seem to be disappearing, too. Speaking of which, have people seen the new Netscape? The one that's currently in a (very) limited beta based on Firefox?

Opera is nice, but as someone so aptly put it in the Opera web forum (of all places), "Why use FireFox over Opera? Because it's free."
