Firefox and Firefox 2 both still fail the acid2 css test, although much better than IE7 obviously. Firefox 3 also fails in some builds apparently (as I experienced earlier today). I completely agree with you for what it's worth. To be fair to the IE team, though, they have been much more responsive lately. I think that IE can be good again, it will just take some time to get over the wounds of the past, so to speak. @volvox

Firefox does (or does it much better than IE). Firefox is my favorite because - contrary to IE - it is made by a lot of people listening to people. Not a bucnh of higly paid programmers that obey to their boss. IE7 is still driven by Activex, a whole bunch of it. Last, the memory 'problem' with Firefox is 'cosmetic'only. It does not really use the memory it shows in the task manager. I always had problems with IE not rendering html/css correctly. Firefox does (or does it much better than IE).
