Default Why do you still use Windows XP?

Do you find that FF makes a pig's ear of eBay CSS rendering? That was
what drove me to use OperaUSB 10.63.


I don't know why they said FF2 renders ok? As I rather use Xandros EeePC
any day over than Ubuntu. But Xandros EeePC has an older kernel that
only works with FF2 tops. And FF2 just doesn't render the web pages I go
to worth a darn since the last year or two. I have some computers here
that still has IE6 installed. And IE6 does a far better job than FF2
does.


I bet none really work as well as they ought. Turns out that even at low
level C compiling, there are as many silly headaches as web designers face
when coding for compatibility between browsers. (And I just stayed with
OperaUSB v20.63 because it offended me least. I don't think I ever saw a
browser I actually liked. They all have the appeal of a gum-soaked seat on a
train. I pick a moderatly clean one that gets me where I need to go.
