Browsers

[tinyjo]

All this fiddling around has got me thinking. I tend to imagine that we're a pretty non-standard group when it comes to browsers. The received wisdom is that between 90% and 95% of visitors who visit a site will be using IE and so you should make sure that your page renders as perfectly as possible in IE even if that means some compromises for other browsers (although this shouldn't compromise readability). Unfortunately, this is a bit of a bugger as so far it seems that IE has the worst implementation of CSS-2 (see previous entry). So, what browsers do you use?

I think your poll might be biased as your friends appear to be pretty clued up on computers and more likely to use a non-standard browser.

Depends who your audience is though...

That was more or less what I was thinking - given that my audience is going to be primarily my friends, which way should my decisions be skewed? Given a choice between something which looks great in Mozilla and OK in IE or vice versa, what do I go for? I suppose the answer really should be "back up and find a layout which looks great in both" but that's pretty difficult to do :)
