It's a free browser, and security patches are put out for it all the time.
But yeah, that EA thing about having to have IE6 is pretty silly, although
I'm sure there's some reason for it that we don't know about. I think IE6 is
part of XP's SP1? Maybe F1C needs SP1 installed.. I've had a few games that
needed SP1.. GTA:VC comes to mind..

The last website that didnt work for me in Mozilla was the argos.co.uk
website - which has since been updated.
I prefer Mozilla as it's faster, quicker, and the tab system is very veyr
usefull. It's not just an Anti Microsoft thing - in the same way Open Office
isnt an anti-microsoft thing -it's just.. well... FREE and has no paperclip.

Then along comes MS and says, "standards, we don't need to stinking
standards, we're big and powerful enough to make our own standards", and
so they did, to complement their own web browser they made their own
HTML tool called "FrontPage"
I don't share BG's vision that just because his company is the biggest
and baddest they should be the ones laying down the rules and everyone
else can tag along or be left in the dust, besides, Opera is so much
better than IE will most likely ever be and it would work on 100% of all
sites if people who made web pages would actually stick to standards
laid down for such pages, Opera, as well as several other browsers
follow these standards and web pages made to these standards work
flawlessly in all of these browsers, most of which has better
functionality than IE, Opera for instance has a built in pop up killer
which can be configured to your tastes and uses less resources than IE,
loads pages faster, has a wind/rewind function for quickly going back
and forth between several pages as well as better functionality for
using without a mouse
Without diversity and competition there's no/little progress

I use Mozilla to stick two fingers up at MS, and so I don't have to
put up with pop-up ads.
Andrew.
I also agree about the competition thing, it's definately healthy for
everything. My main point was the XP SP1 thing anyways..

FWIW, he recently redid his main site to work with more browsers.. you can
check it here: http://schillmania.com but some of the projects don't work
with other browsers.
