Now I'm trying IE7 RC2, but hey, guess what? Your blog "breaks" IE7! It keeps repaginating and reloading the page every few seconds - give it a try! Any idea why?

Firefox also takes a bit longer to render most pages and doesn't have the same silky-smooth window scrolling as Safari. But unlike Safari, Firefox tends to render more pages correctly. Interestingly, the gamma and saturation of the viewing windows for both browsers appear to be slightly different - something I've not really noticed before either... Firefox is my browser of choice, but there's still room for improvement - especially in terms of speed.
