Plus, some people will always use IE (for whatever irrational reason), and it's better for everyone (including Google) if those people are using a standards compliant browser. As a side note, Google should redo their toolbar pages. They look kinda old, very Web1.0-ish. Not very attractive at all. Tsk-tsk. ;) Anonymous wrote:
