[NMLUG] A true IE replacement??
I may be missing something, but if you want 99% compatibility why not just use IE. If it is the
interface, then get another interface or convince microsoft to change it. If you just don't want to use
Microsoft, well then don't expect someone else to re-invent the wheel perfectly. What I mean is, it is
hard to get someone to re-invent something without trying to "make it better" or "take a different
route", all of these result in what you see with Opera or Firefox, someone doing something similar,
but taking a different route, and having incompatibility.
But if it is as I expect, just the generally well deserved hatred for microsoft, then do not try to follow
their standards, less you become like them.
