Browser Wars: What Are They Good For?

Oops. Didn't mean to post the last message twice. The Seeking Alpha UI makes it far too easy to do that (I've seen this issue many times).

Browser Wars: What Are They Good For?

"There is high level of incompatibility between browsers and designers waste incredible amounts of time to get their pages working on all the major browsers."

And adding one more browser to the mix will just make the problem worse. I've been a fan of Firefox/Mozilla for quite a while, because I thought it was good to have a well funded open source browser project competing with I.E., but it's hard to see how the benefit of another open-source alternative will outweigh the cost of having to deal with another slightly incompatible browser.
