The Cynic Says……

So there’s this acid test to test standards compliance and as of right now, no released browser correctly renders the page. Amusingly, IE does the worst (completely impossible to even figure out what it’s SUPPOSED to be). Opera and Firefox do ok at best. Supposedly the new version of Konqueror and icab (mac browser) pass it but they’re still in development and aren’t available to most of the general public. Here’s the link to the test. Basically it’s just proof that IE6 (what most of you are running) doesn’t support all of the up and coming web standards. IE7 is supposed to fix most of the problems, but I’ll believe that when I see it. As of now, I use both Firefox and Opera and haven’t had any real problems with either. Firefox is more basic and more customizable but Opera comes more loaded straight out of the box. Hell, the only time I even use IE anymore is if I need to go to Windows Update to download patches for Windows. Outside of that, it’s either Firefox or Opera. If it doesn’t display correctly in either browser then the web designer for that site is an idiot and I don’t bother visiting anymore. Plain and simple. If you’re going to have a website, you should make sure it looks right in every browser. Ok, random geek rant over.
