IE9 is a solid browser, and the pop-culture IE vitriole, while clearly having roots in important history, is getting tedious.

Firefox needs to step its game up here. Although frankly I'm surprised that the browser manufacturers don't share their blacklist data.

IE9 was a good jump in standards but it was only half the job. IE10 should get Microsoft almost back to competitive. Hopefully, Microsoft pushes to Win7 users as promised effectively replacing IE9 in short order.

IE9 could do itself a favor and create some decent developer tools and it would be a lot closer to the top of my list.

Hell, even Opera has a better set of developer tools and it hovers around 2.2% of the market. I'm not even including its great mobile emulator either.

concur. The dev tools and plug-ins that FF has are unbeatable. But then that is not what my mom/dad care about as much. So they still use IE.

What's FF offer over Chrome? The Chrome tools are pretty freakin' badass these days.
