soki2ng,

Letz look at the original post, shall we?
Note what is in bold. If he said for common man (or avg user) that wd be another discussion

Either way, you have to always code for lowest common denominator. You get this info either upfront by establishing a baseline or from your web logs. MSFT recently put out a warning that everyone should stop using IE because of security leaks. Yes, MSFT said that. I blv it is even on the forum somewhere. Now u tell me, supposing I never used FF before but was told by MSFT to use another browser and I settled for FF and I liked it so much that when MSFT says to return to IE, I don't go back? U c where I am going with this?

Again, always code for the lowest common denominator. 80% of the folks out there use IE so it makes sense to make sure your site(s) show up there. Having said that, other browsers are gaining ground, I bet you the %age will only increase over time.

It is better to code for all major browsers upfront and forget it than to go back and tweak in the future. If you are like me, looking at old code once I am done is like a dog going back to his puke

But do you think Chrome is getting us back by installing tweaks here and there, I tot they should release something which is fully loaded, that is all plugins should be compatible with those on Firefox and IE. e.g. on so many occassions u need to install different plugin for Chrome like the flash players, text masking, etc.

IMOO, like many webmasters may accept, Firefox is by far being more supportive because of its openess, and its versatility.

ever since i laid my hands on chrome, i got permanently addicted !!!
its light and tight, Ideal for a web developer who needs to run several heavy applications while working.

As far as polls are concerned, IE7 and 8 combined aren't leading FF

Comparing FF with rest? pleeaaaaaaaaaaaaaassseee. From a webmasters point of view, I mean WEBMASTER, c'mon it has to be ff. What else do you want in a browser that you can't get. The plugin support is just awesome, something IE and Chrome are lacking far behind. It is simply the dream of any serious webmaster and i hope they keep up the good job. FF all the way.

Firefox is comparatively better as it offers a good variety of add ons
