On top of that, you have Microsoft fanatics that refuse to believe that IE is in any way inferior to other browsers. I agree though -- Chrome is a superior browser in terms of benchmarks, but I think (for now) Firefox's extensibility is far more superior. Chrome's day will come though.

I was writing up a web 2.0 application and was about to pull my hair out on some IE 6 / 7 Bugs... so i finally just fixed it for ie 7 and throw up an Alert box to IE 6 --> alert('SORRY, but your browser was realeased in 2000!\n\n It contains many bugs that could harm your computer!\n\n You should UPGRADE NOW!\n\n Try switching to Google Chrome! www.google.com/chrome \n\n We want you to have the best experience possible and we feel you are at risk by continuing to use this browser!'); I will admit that IE 8 has improved in its own write, however, I still think Google Chrome is on top and continuing in the write direction... I was checking out the benchmarks @ http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v5/run.html And Chrome killed every browser... IE 8 threw up a script is taking to long message... Here is the results for all the browsers: (bigger number is better) I did have dreamweaver running but no other browsers or tabs! Chrome 3885 Firefox 480 Safari 1999 Opera 234 IE 8 79.9 http://vzio.com/web-browsers/internet-explorer-people_there_is_better_browsers_out_there/ amen, I wrote up a similar post just a few days ago… I was writing up a web 2.0 application and was about to pull my hair out on some IE 6 / 7 Bugs… so i finally just fixed it for ie 7 and throw up an Alert box to IE 6 –>
