Browser Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Spiff

What kind of browser do you use? According to my stats (see below), it breaks down along fairly predictable lines. Unlike some blogs I could mention (like BoingBoing) Internet Explorer is still the browser of choice by a comfortable margin. Or is it? Are the Internet Explorers humans, or robots? Are they monkeyboys, or spiders, or an even lower form of life? Are the Mac users more highly evolved than the rest of us (that outta get a rise of their elitist plug-and-play asses)? 😉

So I’ve reached back into the grab-bag of yore and enabled a little poll. It’s over there on the right-hand column.

Please note, I’ve included “AOL” as a browser choice purely for my sister’s benefit (I snark with love, but she’ll get me in the end).
