Opera 6.03 - The Wild Child of Browsers?

IEEE1394 writes: "Ever wondered what other Internet browsers are available outside of Internet Explorer? Opera 6.03 from Opera Software boasts itself on being 'the fastest browser on earth.' Does it really live up to its claim of being unique and being fast? Is it the wild child of the browser family and can it ever surpass Internet Explorer as the browser of choice? Let's find out." Funny, IE isn't my browser of choice ...

c'mon man. I use Mozilla at home quite a lot and I design web sites (although I do more back end stuff than anything), but let's face the reality of the situation: If I'm designing web sites, I design for IE. Usually, my pages are fairly simple and work just fine in Moz, opera, etc, but I ain't waisting my time making scripts cross-browser compatible, etc, because those folks paying the bill don't care and the customer is always right.

IE is about the only browser that does adhere to standards, but even then there are some discrepancies. Have you seen Moz's version of "standards"? Hint: they're not.

You forgot to mention one thing:

K-Meleon is dead. It's been unmaintained since 10-30-01 and doesn't support any of the more recent Gecko snapshots.

Browser of Choice?

IE isn't a "broswer of choice." It's the broswer of it-got-forced-down-my-throat-and-I-can't-get-rid-o f-it-without-hosing-my-system for most users and the broswer of it's-there-and-I-am-too-lazy-or-uninformed-to-inst all-anything-else for the vast majority of users not covered by the first part.
