IE9 is a solid browser, and the pop-culture IE vitriole, while clearly having roots in important history, is getting tedious.
</rant>
Firefox needs to step its game up here. Although frankly I'm surprised that the browser manufacturers don't share their blacklist data.
- at-fates-hands 14y agoIE9 could do itself a favor and create some decent developer tools and it would be a lot closer to the top of my list. Hell, even Opera has a better set of developer tools and it hovers around 2.2% of the market. I'm not even including its great mobile emulator either.

- cheald 14y agoWhat's FF offer over Chrome? The Chrome tools are pretty freakin' badass these days.
- melling 14y agoIE9 was a good jump in standards but it was only half the job. IE10 should get Microsoft almost back to competitive. Hopefully, Microsoft pushes to Win7 users as promised effectively replacing IE9 in short order.
- drhowarddrfine 14y agoIE9 is a 3-year old browser while all other browsers have been updating their tech every 6-8 weeks so how can you say that? Even when IE9 was introduced, it was months behind all the others in support of modern standards and practices. IE9 is inept at best, and anyone thinking IE10 puts them into the running of "modern browsers" is also technically inept, uninformed and behind the curve.
