Can it be? Has it been three years since we last wrote a newsletter about the Browser War? A lot has changed since 2002, and it's about time we updated you on this fundamental web development topic. Three years ago, we did some math and computed that, accounting for browser versions, computer platforms, and operating system versions, there were over 245 distinct browsers in use. That was three years ago! I don't think my math skills are capable of calculating how many there are now. But aside from the continuing proliferation of browsers, there is some good news too. Today's browsers have some great new features and, wonder of wonders, they are more standards compliant than ever before. This month we'll review the browser landscape, highlight new features, and provide information related to how Newfangled supports these new browsers.
