I would urge you STRONGLY not to even think about going that route.
As people on this list here have mentioned, it is the web sites that are
at fault, not the browsers. The non-IE engines are pretty much all W3C
compliant, and really, that is more than enough.
We need to discourage web masters from using proprietary Bill Gates code
in their web sites, otherwise we're saying it's OK for one man to rule
what browser we use.
This sound right to you?
I didn't think so.
"Proper" web sites work with any browser as long as they stick to the
accepted W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) guidelines, in fact a lot of
them now show the W3C logo on the page to say they're compliant.
Regards,
Ed.
