We bank with Firefox (Canada), but I have heard of cases where only IE will work
properly. The whole standards compliance issue needs to be revisited. Maybe now
that IE's share has slipped below 80% companies will be more open to being
standards compliant.
I am not a web developer, but I am sure this gives them fits. Perhaps some are a
bit naive and think that if they develop for IE that it will be standards
compliant thinking perhaps that M$ would follow them as well as help set them.
If they wrote for Firefox, I wonder if they would display the same in IE.
Perhaps some web developers here could let us know if this would be the case.
I do know that Opera is suing M$ in Europe for putting them at a competitive
disadvantage because they are standards compliant, but M$ refuses to follow even
standards that they have set. It should be interesting. Things are never dull.
I too like Chrome. I have Chromium installed in Wine (available from
Codeweavers). I look forward to full Linux version. I have not tried it in
Windows, but assume that runs faster. Wine is okay, but applications look ugly
compared to in GNOME or KDE and saving things is a nuisance because you have to
locate the home directory from outside of the dummy C: drive, usually drive Z:
for me.
