Hence the entire concept of public beta testing of software.

wtf :crazy:

few people are scouring because few people are using it. As it gains momentum we will all see. Then what are people going to whine about? You can always use lynx

Well remember, IE is what, 9 years old now? 10? FireFox is about a year old (IIRC) and isn’t even out of beta! Holes are sort of to be expected, like bugs…
