Prefered Browser

Get Firefox! Valid XHTML 1.0!
 Why have a preferred browser?
Simple, I have found that Firefox does not have the security problems of IE. It also renders pages better, and it's free! I've use it to develop these and other web pages. I'm also developing pages to the XHTML standard.
