Firefox & Opera Vs. IE - Can you really switch 100% ?

Although i do understand the lack of security in IE and all the dangers in it, but am still not able to move to another browser. Yes i tried firefox and i tried opera and others. But i get in situations where some sites do not apear right or even doesnt apear at all, and sometimes i have difficulties in the language when i am visting arabic websites, its not always as perfect as IE.

So do i have to live in a situation where i will use firefox for some sites and IE for the others. Thats not practical, i cant believe anybody who really did switch browsers 100%.

I switched 100%. I have never noticed a site that didn't look right in FF, as far as looking at non english sites, i couldn't care less, not an issue. I despise IE so much, that the few times I found somehting I couldnt view in FF, I simply went elsewhere. By the way, the only thing I can think of that I've found that FF can't do was run an online virus scan from Panda

Well i was able to switch to FF 99.9% times :) Every now and then i will come across a site that is only optimized for IE.

Here the good news though. Netscape 8 Beta has two engines to display sites. One based on IE and the other on FF. Netscape maintain a list of sites viewable in in FF, if you come across one that is not in the list, it will automatically switch to IE engine . Pretty neat huh! :)

Well i cannot wait for final Netscape that should support extensions as well.
