Although I'm sure you've become practiced at making pages for the devil (Internet Explorer is his most modern alias), Firefox, Safari, Opera, and pretty much every other browser since EVER actually follows the standards put out by the very people who invented Hyper Text Markup Language. Microsoft, on its high throne of insanity, says "hahahahaha! You shall have to discover the way our browser renders it all, because we do not conform to these [i]standards[i] of which you speak!"
Thankfully, IE 8 will have a way to trigger "Super Standards Mode" (or at least that's what they've called it thus far) which will make it render pages properly, and hopefully that will end this BS about IE/Firefox cross-browser support.
Also, may I point you to IE6, and then immediately to IE7? Pages built for the former shatter in the latter. Pages made for FF1.5 (the first major release) still look the same in FF2, and also in FF3RC1 which makes me believe the final FF3 will work just beautifully.
funny comic but joequincy was right FF is a waaay better browser... it would've been more accurate if it was about how broken IE is
love your comics though, only 300 more to read d[^-^]b
Oh man, you are soooo wrong. I'm a web designer and THE WORST browser of all time is PC Internet Explorer - the browser that read "web standards" and went "screw that for a lark, I'm gonna do whatever the hell I like!"
I don't care if they're randomly monitoring the activities of five percent of their traffic, Google Chrome is my N00Browser & I must confess that I love her. Besides, I have no choice but to trust Google, because when the Revolution comes and the nets are officially privatized like those commie bastards are pushing for, I at least want to be on the winning team. Is that wrong? My new Mac's pretty GUI says no.
A short history...
{netscape creates Gecko-> firefox(acid=97) adopts-> Konquerer(Linux)(acid3=89) bases KHTML on gecko-> Apple bases Webkit on KHTML for safari and google borrows.(bothacid3=100)}
{IE uses trident(which renders in an almost exact opposite fashion to everything else)(acid3=20)}
{opera has used presto since 3.0(acid3=100)}
acid3 vales=percent correct rendering of properly coded web pages for latest versions as of writing using default full installs.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers]
Gecko and KHTML are only not strict to allow for code errors(read, IE)
Also, PHP causes Gobal Warming due to it recompiling on every file access instead of just once right after coding fyi[Ars Technica?]

Well Yeah.. when you run in all the browser hacks to make a site hold together in IE 6... you've pretty muchs FRACKKED IT for any W3C compliant browser... Oh the pain...

so use something else to build it in.
The browser is good - doesn't cookie you all over the place behind your back like Micro$oft.
Creating websites with a browser seems like, I dunno, using a book as a stylus. Or making a demo tape with a boombox.
I use vim.

Don't blame the tool, blame the user.
Seriously- if you're getting a messed up site through using Firefox, it means you're doing it wrong :-P
no.

Does no one pay attention to dates?
1) This comic was posted in 2006
2) This comic is signed and dated as from 2005
Heh. Apparently Picasso was running Firefox and then painting from screenshots.
