Work Fails - Page 3

I believe firefox is still holding a bigger share. More frustratingly for web developers (and increasingly Microsoft), so does IE6 with its almost complete non-adherence to anything remotely approaching web standards.

I use Chrome on the netbook as Firefox uses too many resources. If I have my usual 8 tabs open for a while, it can be using about 50% of the poky little Atom processor - the lag is noticeable. Still prefer Firefox on my other machines though.

I'm using chrome right now! But you're right BBx, it's not 'proven', so it's natural that you wouldn't have built your site around it.

I've never even used chrome yet. Might give it a bash just to see.

I gave it a quick play a few months back, but IE8 is just easier cos it's there...

I was told by Air NZ after FF locked on the final payment submit page (ie: on page 10 or 10 pages into the booking process) that I should try using IE.
Now granted it worked and I didn't get double charged, but still.

I once emailed our off-shore team with a comment along the lines of "Sorry, xxxx is being a pain and changing his mind yet again" copying xxxx in. Fortunately he too saw the funny side (as he was being a pain and changing his mind yet again :P)
