I like how they briefly touch on the strength of Firefox and then run away from it: Extensions

Not really.  We get used to seeing all sorts of biased crap on the net.  Your link was no different.

Thanks for playing.

Actually, mine was more about the poor reasoning and incorrect/misleading premises they're using to make their points.

e.g. Does anybody really think that FFox has lower system reqs than a program that's a key component of the OS? Do people really think it's the most secure browser, or just more secure than IE?

I like the way he slates firefox stuff, saying IE can do tabbed browsing provided you have MSN Toolbar extension or something.

Er, that's an extension, which is being compared to a vanilla version of firefox. In that case, I would like to add the advanced tab extension, which allows you to re-order tabs and re-name tabs in firefox.

And saying that not all pages work in firefox. Correct, I have found one in all my time. Guess what, it was made using Frontpage.....

Says more to me about poor MS coding (wierd and uneccessary HTML tags) than any inability of Firefox.

Finally, this cracks me up,
QuoteMyth - "The W3C Develops Recommendations not Standards." - Example

Reality - "W3C Develops Web Standards and Guidelines. W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines. Since 1994, W3C has published more than ninety such standards, called W3C Recommendations.

Exactly, they are called recommendations! They are not universal standards for web products. They are recommendations for funtionality. He has just proved himself wrong. They are a set of guidelines and standards, which are recommended that web products follow! They are not de rigeur!

He does seem a bit of a silly TANGO if you ask me.
