When I rule the world...

it will be a crime punishable by extreme humiliation to use a web browser that is not the latest version, or to program, promote or use any web browser that is not absolutely standard in its rendering of HTML.

There are HUNDREDS of people out there using IE 5! IE 5! The bastards! Would it not, in the long run, be SO much more satisfying and productive to track them down and send assassins to give their computers a good kicking, so they have to either do without or buy a new one?

There are government sites that don't work in Firefox? That's just bizarre!

All the banks I use are firefoxy, though they usually don't like Opera, which annoys philmophlegm.

I just fired up the new site that caused me such grief in IE 6, in a newly installed copy of Safari 3, and it all worked without so much as a misplaced pixel. This makes me happy.

There certainly used to be government sites that didn't work in Firefox, probably in the order of a year ago (or longer), though. I haven't visited many recently, so it all could have changed. Mind you I finally managed to get DVLA's renew-your-car-tax web site to work last month; I've tried it ever since it was launched and this year was the first time that it worked.

Barclays and CAF seem to work in Firefox. I must confess I've never used Opera. The evangelical nature of an ex-colleague always put me off.
