It would be ideal though if IE followed some strict standards. Since W3C already has some standards I do not understand why it is so hard for Microsoft to follow them.

Sometimes I will write some stuff in CSS and in firefox it will work fine but then I will view the site in IE and it will do nothing or do something completely unexpected. Then I will have to spend ages using google to search for a work around so it looks right in IE. It requires so much more work to just make IE do something which would otherwise be simple.

I don't agree that browser wars are over yet. Obviously Firefox is probably IE's closest competitor at the moment. But what firefox is missing is marketing (and the fact it is not included in Windows) they don't have enough money for this. So most people wouldn't even know Firefox existed. This is probably why netscape was more successful than plain mozilla. They could afford to make deals so their browser would be bundled with other software. I still think this is room for a new browser to take IE's place but it probably won't happen while IE is so integrated with Windows.


Edit: Oh and firefox gets glitches because IE does not follow standards! If Microsoft actually listed their own standards I would say yeah firefox should follow IE's standards because it is the main browser. But you can't say because IE is the most popular browser that it goes by the standards. The way IE renders pages sometimes makes no sense.
