FireFox slaughters the competition.

I got to be honest, I love it, I like IE, but I think that is just because I used it as my main (sometimes only) browser.

The popup blocker with XP SP2 has been pretty good so far, there's not a lot that get through, but obviously there are other problems associated with IE.

I use a site cdcovers.cc they have started using adds that just float over the text, which popup blockers seem unable to deal with effectivly.

Firefox doesn't even load them

Unfortunately things dont always appear to be in the right place with firefox, and rndinternet.co.uk does not display correctly in FF, but displays fine in IE, I think that is more a design issue, the site should have been tested on different browsers.

It seems its the way that FF reads the page, it thinks two text areas are images, as they aren't images it just draws to boxes where it thinks a picture should be...
