Because as a developer who worked on IE as well as Firefox. But when i used to work firebox,it has less error compare to IE. I may have done mistake somewhere in my coding(Example HTML).The Firefox doesn't show any major errors. But IE should show the full errors or the design will be totally wrong. I hate many times IE because of showing wrong web design. Then the developer knows where it will be in our code. I appreciate IE. Hi,

It's true they don't give a damn because the web designers have to FIGHT with their pages to make IE display them correctly. If we all quit rewriting our code to work with the piece of crap IE you can bet everyone would be concerned about standards and accessability. I spend 1/4 of my time in design and programming and 3/4 of my time to make it work in IE. Mike said:

MS stated that they are complying with WC3 standards. And yes .png support has been added as well. ActiveX will be disabled until you allow them to run. The pop-up blocker works better then ever. RSS feed is the best. The buttons for favorites are great. And the speed blows FF out of the water. I used FF back when it was thunderbird. I toyed with it but always used IE because it was faster. I had to stop using FF at 0.9 because it would crash or lock up my computers. I can finally use 1.5 again but see no reason to. And I have never had spyware on my computer. Why? It’s called Spyware Blaster & McAfee.

Surely IE7 should have those by now if they wanted to compete with Firefox. And what about the W3C standards? You follow them step by step yet sometimes your page still looks crappy in IE no matter what version you use. Firefox 2 is coming out soon and it's still packed with way more than IE has to offer. Will there ever be an extension for IE that you don't have to pay for? Will users always sit there seeing the same old boring interface each day? Who knows? Maybe those Internet Explorer fans should contact Microsoft about that. Where’s all the extensions and themes? Surely IE7 should have those by now if they wanted to compete with Firefox.

Quite a bit as a matter of a fact. Listen i like fire fox great browser many features that ie6 just didn't offer. However, what was once good doesn't always remain that way. If you want to settle for what's good now and terrible in the future you're more than welcome. But, I believe I'll stick with what's better today and tomorrow.
