Remember back when IE and Netscape Navigator were jostling for market share, Microsoft and Netscape introduced their own additions to the HTML spec? Quite a few sites would have declarations like "best viewed in IE" or "best viewed in Netscape", thereby throwing strict standards compliance out the window. Now I see some sites with "best viewed in Firefox", and I am tempted to test their code against the official W3C parser. I have not come across "best viewed in Opera" though.

Well, remnants of these browser religious wars are still going on, likewise, the ones for operating systems and what have you?
There will always be diehards (diehard consumers, how ironic) who will cheer for products...
Be it gaming console platforms, arcane programming languages, practically anything...
I guess let these people be... Heheh. They are harmless compared to some who will burn and kill with regards to cartoons.
