you say "Everyone elses way" but yet again I remind you, IE has the largest market share.
Which is fading fast, but the point being
IE8 is beta you arse. FF3 is final. Theres a huge difference.
M3ta7h3ad do you not read things on purpose to better have a go at posters or just dont?
IE8 current beta is sh*te, at the same stage FF3 is over double faster,
When FF3 was at the same stage it was faster and more stable - Had and been testing both due to what I do, got people at work here the same and all in agreement about their progress as well as on the web others also and note how I also said..
means nothing now but still
So call someone and arse where it is due but really it is again you just being one yourself here, bit pointless getting tedious as well.
Im not bitching about web standards compliance im bitching about poor web design being hidden behind "designed for" buttons and logos.
Firefox 3 will only increase the effect, as already Ive had to see and use stuff that "only for firefox", open it in IE and you get nada.
This always pulls from anything new in many aspects of web design or the ability to do things, very nice or handy or cool features cool and the bad designers will over use them or not use them and the good ones use them correctly. It will ALWAYS be the case with ANYTHING.
Considering the web is meant to be viewable for all, it appears firefox is in fact the cause of sh*t developers. Think back to the Netscape and IE differences, only its worse. Instead of not displaying the blink tag, now entire pages refuse to load for anyone who doesnt use firefox.
This is very wrong because web standards is the basis of good design, you do know if create a correct website with valid source and correct wording, correct content format etc it will effect your position on search engines etc which in terms of business is very important? Firefox is the best for this and with the addons like firebug it is the source of GOOD developers not sh*te. IE on the other hand IS and because of MS decision to do things differently until 8 It will always be. Eight May comply with a lot of things but its going to be bulky and slow and In terms of development and usage it is important.
Actual predictions from people knowing what they are on about indicate to 20% use for FF Within a few months of FF3 if not more with IE8 being a little way off. Safari will have its new version soon and now being on windows also will see a jump with both eating into IE. With the mobile market as well and Opera again you have a broader and increasing range of market of which IE will be lagging behind and having its market share eating away.
Dell is also considering Safari (do not know why but meh) as something to be pre installed in their packages for example as well.
