I honestly would probably stop pushing one browser over another for the average person. I actually have mostly stopped since IE7 came out since it is not nearly the hinderance to development that IE6 is.<br><br>For web developers, Firefox will still be the way to go due to extensions like the Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug.
<br><br>I personally use Opera for all of my daily surfing (though Google is messing with that), but if IE8 comes out strong in relation to standards, I will cease caring what people use from a professional stance. People will always have their personal preferences, and there will always be zealots.... but as a developer I won't care.

<br>Well here is a question:<br><br>If IE 8 came out passing the Acid-2 test and was just as standards<br>compliant as Opera and they worked on beefing up security and Firefox 3<br>did not pass Acid-2: Would you still recommend Firefox over IE to any
<br>users? Would you continue to support Firefox with the gusto many do<br>now? Would you throw bones to Opera?<br><br>Would the industry begin to settle back to IE at the expense of Firefox<br>and Opera?<br></blockquote>
