We’ve gotten a few emails from people about our “get a better browser” page.

Everyone has opinions and it is our opinion is that Firefox is a superior browser to, say, Internet Explorer. Most of our users would agree as 78% of our visitors use Firefox. Not everyone shares our opinions and for those people, we’ve added links to the most popular modern browsers. So if you are an IE6 or Safari 1.x user and really want to try out CSS Type Set, download one of those browsers and try it out. You’ll be helping the world progress towards more standards compliant browsers, as well as enabling web designers worldwide to take advantage of the new features they offer.

For those dogged enough in their ways to stick with their old favorites, hang tough. We will support them eventually, but it isn’t high priority as only 3% of you that come to our site refuse to move on.
