IE dominance

In the early days, back in '98, I found IE4 to be a better browser than NS Navigator. Personally I found the NSN buttons and tool bars to bloated and gimmicky and the cleaner lines of IE4 allowed just that little bit more screen to show.

But here, 9 years later, I have found that my browsing habits changed and they did so a few years ago. I tried Opera because it was new, it was different. I tried Firefox and fell in love with it. And I know that sometimes Firefox has memory leaks, I know it locks my system up occasionally, but that's because I can often run 20+ tabs at a time and regularly do that in two windows... a work window and a leisure window...

But I'd rather have that Fox logo on my shirt than just a plain old E.

I design clean code and I like my browser to respect that.
