1.) Yes its valid
2.)I'll believe IE is the worst rendering engine when I go to one of my main sites and its not rendered corectly, unlike firefox which at one point didn't rendered some of my sites correctly.
3.)And DLing security patches is worst? I don't see how thats worse. I see they are making sure that they getting all the bugs out of IE.
What do i have to DL when I'm not on XP?
4.) mute

1) Why? Because you say so? "IE is stable, but not more than the others, so use it!"
2) Go to that site which I posted that is coded following the INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS for HTML, and tell me if it works right. The sites you go to have been tweaked to use faulty/broken code so that IE will show it right, which is why FireFox doesn't work right because the code is broken.
3) You said that IE was better because you had to download FireFox (what, 4 MB?), I pointed out that you have to download DOZENS if not hundreds of patches for IE, constantly. DLing hundreds of patches is a lot more effort than downloading one 4 mb installer, so you lose. When you're on Windows 95, 98, or ME you'll have an older version of IE and have to download the latest one (easier to just get FireFox), and if you're on Linux (any version) or FreeBSD you'll have to install Wine AND download IE to get it, and if you're on Mac OS X, you get Safari free so why bother using IE?

4) huh?

That means it's a valid point that he has no way to adress...

I think he meant "moot."

The list thus far is:

Firefox
Mozilla
Netscape
Konqurer
My IE2
Advant
World's Best Browser
Safari

Did I miss anything?

Opera
Camino (Mac)

I use Firefox, but I didn't see those two in your list.

Sorry about not including the last 3, but Einhander was right. SIfting through IE vs Firefox made me skip it by accident. If there are any more speak now. I'll check this post in another day and then take the list as it stands to work with.

Thank you for your assistance.

Dillo and Galeon are some more examples.

EDIT: Good point, Durandel, edited.

Praxis, if someone PMed you, chances are that he wanted to finish the discussion in private. Stop being such an ass.

Ok got my list. When I make up the page I'll post it in this forum (new thread most likely) for you guys to nitpick and tear apart before I link it on my website.

A minor nitpick here, if by World's Best Browser if you meant the browser I wrote (the thread title was "World's best browser") it is actualy called INET not World's best browser.
