Popular web browsers running on popular desktop operating systems

A well known fact, which leads right into your next comment...


24 hours + outage whilst stale dns disappears will never do in
internet retail.
And yet, with 90% of the net implementing the "will never do" scenario,
we manage to get a lot of internet retail done anyhow. I'm obviously going
