Firefox Debunked (but still loved), IE7 maturing

At Port80 , we are browser-agnostic.  We have the die hard Firefox users, and everybody has IE.  Of course, with our IIS Web server tools and the w3compiler, we test our products with all major browsers and go beyond just these leading browsers when testing in the lab...

The past few years have seen the tremendous rise of the Firefox Web browser as the next best thing since sliced bread.  However, there are some foxxy myths out there that are worth your review.  Check out this quality review that does attempt to be unbiased:

IE7 Beta 2 is finally available as well...

What browser do you like?  Which one do you use at work or at home? What features make the difference?  Is there Web designer or IT admin functionality you would like to see built into the browser like the features HttpWatch offers or beyond? 

We look forward to your comments, and have a nice weekend,

Port80

# re: Firefox Debunked (but still loved), IE7 maturing

I have to say that from a Web caching standpoint, IE is *much* better-behaved than Firefox.

See: http://www.mnot.net/javascript/xhr/cache.html

which tests browser caches with XmlHttpRequest.

N.B. Personally, I don't use either; I'm a Safari person.
