[News] Microsoft's Browser Fails Where the Open Source Competition Succeeds

Firefox 3 inflames the browser wars, but why should we care?

,----[ Quote ]
| Just as I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the version of firmware 
| that runs my car engine’s management systems, I don’t want to invest a lot of  
| brain power pondering browsers. They should just be slick, reliable and 
| secure.  
| 
| Of course, the reason Firefox is getting such attention is because its 
| primary rival, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, is none of these things. It’s  
| bloated, prone to unexpected crashes, and has security holes you could put 
| your fist through.

IE8 development: Microsoft should learn from Apple, Mozilla

,----[ Quote ]
| Greater transparency about what is and is not supported is also needed; for 
| example, although Firefox 3, due for release any day now, will not have 
| complete support for SVG, we can see exactly which bits it does support. 
| Internet Explorer has no equivalent documentation, with the result that 
| developers are operating in the dark. Although in the case of SVG, IE 
| is "easy"—it has no support for any of the specification—in areas such as CSS 
| and HTML, IE does offer partial support.
