I would submit that's not (entirely) true. The problem with IE is not 
just its market share, it's that M$ *intentionally* ignores and breaks 
standards, so you got people writing stuff that wasn't just using 
extensions, it was outright wrong (by depending on non-compliant, broken 
behavior). A Free browser is far less likely to piss on standards like 
that. Plus, if a Free browser had such market share that many sites 
/depend/ on its extensions, well, it would be much easier for everyone 
else to simply copy and support those extensions.

:-D (...exactly why I use mainly FF.)


On an unrelated note, I share Stephen's "WTH were they thinking?!" 
w.r.t. GTK's auto-completion.
