I've never been a huge fan of IE and I'm sure others here agree with me - funny enough, I'm posting this in IE7 for some odd reason... Glad to see more and more people are stepping over from IE to other browsers. smile.gif

Anyway, here are the stats: http://marketshare.h...p...=M&qpsp=121

Microsoft Internet Explorer 67.55%
Firefox 21.53%
Safari 8.29%
Chrome 1.12%
Opera 0.70%
Netscape 0.57%
Mozilla 0.07%

Chrome has done fantastically well to get a 1.12% figure in the short space of time its been out - this goes to show the power of Google. When they release the mac version this will surely rise again.

As for FF, I'm starting to find it a bit annoying, using it daily I find quite a few quirks and annoyances. I think Safari (for me) provides the best browsing experience.

As for IE... Microsoft need to sort themselves out. 6, 7 and soon to be 8 all work slightly differently - a development nightmare.

I <3 Chrome.

I don't have much of a problem with IE - as a matter of fact I think IE renders text very nicely. It's just IE6 that's a pain in the ass.
