starting a browser war. I don't really care what people use, just so
long as they don't complain about how the layout doesn't work in Lynx
1.0 :-)
AFA IE/Mac goes, in all fairness, I'm looking at it from the point of
view of all the @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@# customization I had to do to get sites to work
properly with IE/Mac and everything else. Plus, we have a site that
(against my better judgement) uses an iframe floating over a section of
Flash. This does not, cannot, will not work in IE/Mac because you can't
float anything over a plugin becuase of the z-index bug.
As a consumer browser, it may be fly as can be, but I'd never notice
because I'm too busy arguing with the internals.
I thought Opera was pretty sweet back when I first tried it, but that
was before an ad-supported version was released, and I was a poor
college student at the time and didn't have the moolah to shell out for it.
