Mozilla & Gecko clones Any minute now, the Mozilla Foundation will officially release the third incarnation of their successful Firefox web browser - the browser that cracked Internet Explorer's monopoly and forced Microsoft to improve IE. Mozilla aims to set a world record in most software downloaded in 24 hours with Firefox 3. Update: It's out there, boys and girls. Update II: And the Firefox 3 page is up too.

Developing for it is indeed fun stuff. What's aggravating is taking that same document, opening it in IE6 knowing that the vast majority of your users will never upgrade and only have what came out of the box.

Vast majority of my users?

'I don't use IE. I don't use Windows as my primary OS. I don't even care what Windows people do. This is my personal website, so why should I cripple my code trying to solve their problems?'

IE users are not my concern. They are not even my "target market". I'm writing about the latest web developments, targeted at geeks.
