Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Completely missing the point.
Yes, Firefox and Safari are better. Yes, IE sucks massive donkey dongs. That doesn't mean that Firefox and Safari aren't broken as well. Just in different, lesser ways.

There are definitely more issues to work around in IE, but I've had to work around issues in Firefox too (try hiding/showing multiple stacked iframes sometime).

Firefox may be the best on the web, but it is still broken.

Camino is much worse than Firefox. Crap-ass port. I couldn't use it for more than a few minutes before stumbling across a bug or a crash.

New Yep, I don't get your point
Browser ranking in order of suckyness of 3 leading browsers (which make up about 98% of traffic) is IE 6, Safari, Firefox.

So?

Of these, two are making improvements.

One is stuck in time and it happens to be the suckyest one. So eliminating support for it can only be a good thing.

New Re: Yep, I don't get your point
You said earlier: "If your browser crashes, you need a new one."

Ben said (later on): "Name me a non-broken browser that is available today and is useable on mainstream websites."

Peter said: "Firefox, Opera, Safari, Camino"

And I said: "Firefox, Safari, and Camino at least are broken"

The point being that there aren't ANY browsers that aren't broken. So telling someone they need something new because the old crashes means that no one will be using anything.

New So I should probably add something to my webpage
like "Your browser has exceeded this site's minimum suckativity index. Please download a less sucky browser - here are some suggestions".
