Have you seen Reddit today??

The better question is have you seen Reddit with IE today? It's down because they are switching servers or something. Here's a screenshot of what Reddit looks like today if you are looking at it via IE:



I don't use IE, I vote democrat and love puppies; this picture was sent in by a reader - if you can't see the message it says 'We see that you are using Internet Explorer. This would be a great time to upgrade to a safer and more standards-compliant browser, such as' and then they give options starting with Firefox and the not-so-ready Chrome browser from Google.

I think it's hilarious they also have a live streaming video of their goldfish on the bottom of the site. Not a big fan of Reddit but they scored some points with me here, for the fish and the ultra-public IE dis.

Why does Codesucker care? Because IE doesn't really work according to standards, Microsoft likes to set their own. My particular beef with IE is that it adds a margin to all blank templates, that's why tables always look a little more seperated in IE than Firefox. The way to get around this is to add the CSS code 'margin:0px;' to your outermost div wrapper.

From a browsing standpoint: There are also many other inconsistancies. I am not an expert on security, but from what I hear and have come to see myself from browsing is IE makes it alot easier for adware and spyware to get a hold on your computer.

On the other hand, the author of this browser wars article comparing the three big guys, IE safari and firefox brings up a great point: "The simple fact that the Firefox source code is "out there" means that hackers and crackers have already got the chance to sniff out vulnerabilities"

The bottom line is that as developers we will have to build and account for every horrid browser that becomes somewhat mainstream. We will never have to stop worrying about how a site looks in IE.. or even IE6!!
