That was his point. It's like posting a link to a manual for a 78 Ford pickup. If someone had a 78 Ford pickup and wanted or needed to know something from the manual, they would GO FIND IT.
i am not sure how true some of the data is, but....it seems that if one were to assume this article was completely true, it wouldn't be very hard to argue that internet explorer is not necessarily a web browser at all in the w3 sense (i.e. partial http support? no xhtml support for >=1.0? only full support of gif images?)
Urgh.. I'm a regular contributor to Wikipedia, and this is definitely not one of the better articles. I mean DEATH BY TABLES!!11!1!!11!one was a valid page layout technique circa 1998.
Don't you dare question the unquestionable wisdom of Wikipedia. It knows all, and isn't at all crap put together by random dumbasses. Prepare to have your comment modded into the seventh ring of hell by our Wikipedia fanboys.
i agree, this looks slightly wrong in places!!!....remember folks i could go edit it now and post a link to how i'm god no honest look it says so in the wikipedia.....LOLOLOL
I love how people keep saying that "IE shells" are not browsers. They take the IE engine and add better functionality to it; that's certainly sounds like a web browser to me. Are you saying that Firefox, which uses an engine that was originally used by Netscape, is not a web browser?
"@seumas: All you have to do (in Opera 9) is right-click anywhere on the page and then select "Block Content". From there, all you need to do is click whatever you want to go byebye and then click the "Done" button. Hope that helps."Yes, but that's clumsy. Give me control over it so I can have a little window pop up and give me a chance to type in my regex filter for whatever item/url/link/content I don't want - just like adblock does.

Try out the tab mix plus extension for firefox, it trumps opera imo.

extentions are not a necessity, but some of them do come in handy for certain applications, for example the webdeveloper extention..
