New I do seem to remember that IE
was the first to offer keyboard navigation, and it was a big deal at the time. Am I wrong?

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

New First? Maybe. Big deal? Doubt it.
Basically because it sucks.

Years ago, I got used to the keyboard navigation in Opera (I been using Opera since version 3). One day at another site I was visiting and had some hours to kill. So I went browsing on a borrowed PC. Ick. Choices were IE or no web-browsing.

Wade, Opera shill.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

Truthful and transparent is great, but we don’t even have a coherent strategy to obfuscate.
