    Define dead. Percentage-wise, IE is the only browsezr that's alive.

    Somehow they've found money to keep developing new versions of Opera, so I wouldn't be so quick to call it 'dead'.

    there must be 10 times less BSD desktop users

    Your probably right, but you know what? I'm glad developers don't always pay attention to things like that, because if they did Windows would be the only OS with any support what-so-ever. I'd dare say 95% of all desktop machines run Windows, if not more. So by your logic, supporting Linux or Mac OSX is a waste of time.

    I happen to personally really like FreeBSD.
