Mozilla Wants to Rumble with IE

“Microsoft’s Internet Explorer might have trounced the likes of Netscape Navigator, but the folks at Mozilla.org insist the browser wars aren’t over.” Amit AsaravalaMozilla Wants to Rumble with IE (Wired)

My weblog developer Will Gayther recently showed me a 1999 Jakob Nielsen article that suggests that by now it is reasonable to expect that most web users have upgraded their browsers so that some of the HTML/design tricks I have been resisting for the past few years are are probably OK to use now.

Don’t worry, Will — posting the Mozilla article isn’t meant to subvert your position. I’m posting it becasue I admire the idealism of these Mozilla folks.
