I Told Off Microsoft Internet Explorer In The Gazette
There was a story about Opera doing a big marketing push of its web browser. I was kindly asked my opinion on the browser war subject at the time. I said some good about Opera and some bad about Microsoft Internet Explorer.
However, Haran, like many Web designers, holds a deep resentment for Microsoft. The giant uses its own technology to interpret sites instead of using open standards like everyone else. This forces designers to spend extra time making sure websites render properly on Explorer.
“Opera deserves the success that Firefox had,” he said. “As long as good browsers gain ground (on Internet Explorer), it’s good for everyone.”
