I tested a lot of different browsers, as I am a web developer. My conclusion is this: Internet Explorer, Netscape 7.x and Safari are highly W3C compliant (CSS,DHTML, ...) and all do support the HTTPRequest mechanism. For me, it is not clear why anybody would use other browsers than the ones mentioned above. Firefox is nice, but is not fast and certainly does not implement the complete W3C standard. Regarding Mozilla, I don't know (but, who is using that browser?) If I look at the weblogs of our company (>50000 visits/day), then the undisputed number 1 is Internet Explorer (96%), followed by Netscape (almost 2%). So, when I design a website, it should work on IE and on Netscape and (that's by religion ;-) ) on Safari too. In general, I design according the W3C standard; any browser not compliant to that standard is a lousy browser (and Opera isn't compliant).
