IE is just an old, broken, non-compliant crappy browser

It's this kind of slander that undermines your credibility. Does any other browser even have "full screen mode" yet (press F11 in IE)?

Opera has had full screen mode for years.

Opera certainly does... and it's also "F11" (I had never bothered to look before, is this really such a big deal feature?). I'm reading this with Opera right now. I only use IE for sites that require it, such as my employer's timesheet system.

Old: released years ago.
Broken: poor rendering of standards-compliant pages, numerous security flaws
Non-compliant: self-evident
Crappy: a bit subjective, but it does lack many fatures of modern browsers and that was what I meant by "crappy."

It's not slander if it's backed-up. Besides, I wrote it, so it would be libel and not slander (as GE runs to the dictionary...).

Opera and Mozilla/Firefox. Same key too.

Now let's talk tabbed browsing, security, cookie managemnt, download manager, selecting any search engine for address bar searches, quality popup blocking and management (even the Google Toolbar for IE doesn't catch the new ones), password management, selective disallowing of specific intrusive JavaScript functions used in popups and other annoyances, DOM inspector and JavasScript console (great for development), etc.
