well, i don't use either, and refuse to use microcrud browsers. i'm using mozilla with very good results, and it has good development. i had previously used netscape, until v6 and 7 which both stank badly, in my experience.
by the way, microsoft's interest in browsers is there usual ploy and business model, i.e. try to take over standards and add proprietary "improvements" to make their systems incompatible with the standard, to enforce their monopoly attempts. microsoft is built on crime, dos was a rip-off, the original versions still contained the owners copyright! the only reason they weren't sued was that ibm was involved (at that time far larger than microsoft) and the individual new he didn't have the resources. bill gates was also thrown out of college for stealing other people's programming work, he had a habit of going through the dumpster out side the computer science building looking for print outs he could steal code from! he's a thief and a crook, and always has been, which is why he's so paranoid about software piracy, because microsoft is built on software piracy so he knows exactly how easy it is! bill gates is a bully, and he's got the money and power to intimidate and actually do harm to people, on the fringes of the law. he's bribed teachers to say good things about microsoft, he's assigned separate investigators to hound every journalist and computer guru that's criticized him. he's a bully and a brat, and he really, really needs a good spanking and a good long time out. bill gates does not work and play well with others, and neither does microsoft. i don't know about you, but i don't like to do business with bullies, or support them in any way.
