IE overthrown
February 12th, 2004 by HenRead Rich Bowen’s weblog where he said Firefox was impressive. I usually have Mozilla installed on machines, but bounce back and forth between it and IE [or Safari on the mac].
Wow. Firefox is impressive. Very impressive. Unless some nasty issue crops up, today marks the end of my IE usage except for grabbing binaries of firefox to install. It’s even good enough that every relative who is not a Mac user [safari’s cool] or an AOL user [too much pain] will get a recommendation to switch.
Along with the speed and lovely features, Mozilla/Firefox also won by being able to render a PNG with 000066 as a colour correctly, while both Safari and IE render it as a darker colour than 000066. If not for Mozilla’s success, I’d have blamed my png creation skills.
