I just checked another domain and it's practically the same too... Had me curious if they varied across my domains much :)

Nice sig quote RivalDiamondz... Anne Rice is a favorite :)

I just did a simple poll question in another board that is for just users and came up with about the same stats that you did kero *Shrugs and begins searching his computer for where those numbers went to*

Kero - Thanks bud, I'm almost at the end of Memnoch right now, gotta love Mrs. Rice

You should be aware that
Mozilla = Firefox = Netscape

They all use the same layout rendering engine called Gecko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_%28layout_engine%29)

So if a page loads up a certain way in Netscape, it'll load up exactly same in Firefox.

It's just rebranding with different features.

You should check your sites with:
Firefox
IE
Opera

Being as I'm a Mac user I check my sites in Safari, Mozilla, IE, and Opera.

Safari uses the Khtml engine which is the same engine that the Linux browser Konqueror (http://www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php) uses. I heard that Konqueror was being ported to Windows but don't know if it has been or not.

I build in Firefox and test with IE. Surfers using other browsers will be buried where they fall.
