Browsers

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?

Sorry, I didn't realise you were a troll. I assumed that kind of behaviour would happen less frequently on LJ.

Chuckle. Not so much a troll as a piss-take of my own position of having to support Microsoft because my livelihood depends on their dominance.

I just find it intensely bizarre that whereas politically I lean towards anti-globalisation and anarchism, the software skills I've picked up over the years mean that the more Microsoft dominate every platform, the more financially secure I become. Consider my flamebait an inner scream about the cognitive dissonance. :)
