Browser Wars: Does it matter any more? To my pleasure, I can say that it mostly doesn't - modern pages will work in any modern browser. Hip hip hooray!

That's because everybody agreed to support open standards but, if a major player stops doing so, then we are back to the dark ages. :)

Alas, then it has started again. But it says "Upgrade to Chrome" instead of "...to IE 4"; worst of all, the Chrome-pushing sites work equally well in recent Opera, or Firefox, or Safari (yes, I know that uses the same core), once you get past the browser-sniffer - but noooo, damn any capability checking, there's gotta be "CHROME" in the User-Agent string.
