What browser do you use?

[Cleo]

By making sure that your pages work right in at least two browsers, IE & Mozilla/Netscape, whatever flavor you install you will usually catch any coding errors and if you pages look right in these two the chances are they will look right in all browsers including whatever is the most popular three years from now.

There are only a few code bases that all the browsers are built on.

Microsoft's code this is what IE is made from, it is not open source.

The Gecko engine , this is open source so anyone can download the code and build a browser. Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox, Camino, etc are built using the Gecko engine.

The KHTML Engine , this is what Linux ships with as its default browser. It is also what Apple's Safari is based on. It is also open source.

Opera seems to have their own code base, not really sure, but it is not open source. Seeing this a lot in phones and stuff like that. It is available for most platforms.

From what I read Linux is going to become a much bigger playing in the desktop market. I have no idea if this is true or not, but being as Linux is free and runs on anything it may prove true.

There is no IE for Linux and while there is an IE for the Mac it is no longer made or supported for anything but Windows.
