- Actual Browser Sizes (final)
- by Thomas Baekdal. baekdal.com, October 24, 2006. "For years we have seen statistics telling us the size of people's screens. We know that 1024x768 is the dominant screen size, and that large resolution screens are coming strong. But, this is useless information. We do not want to know the size of a person's screen. We want to know the size of the browser's content area. A person might not use the browser maximized, and other elements - taskbar, toolbars and extensions - takes up valuable screen space..."

- By Robert Vamosi, Senior editor. JUDGES: Peter Butler, Rafe Needleman, and Elsa Wenzel. CNet Reviews, October 2006. "For years, Microsoft Internet Explorer has enjoyed near dominance of the Web browser space--but not any more.

In two years Microsoft ceded 10 percent of its audience to its competition..."

- Browser Support for CSS
- By Kynn Bartlett. Webreference.com, 12 September 2006. "CSS rules are always interpreted by Web browsers, just as the HTML pages those rules style are interpreted.

- by Dan Ragle. Webreference.com, 6 September 2006. "On this page are links that will allow you to add several of our Jupitermedia Web development sites to the search bar of your Mozilla, Firefox, or Internet Explorer 7 (as of this writing) search bar.

- Designing For Web Browsers
- by Scott Lindsay. Self SEO, 4 September 2006. "Web design is always a challenge: new web browsers make website owners to turn to web designers to redesign their web pages; different web browsers display websites in different ways, leading to the same problem: redesign. This is costly, needs time and if the job is not done right, the release of a new web browser may lead to the same trouble. Moreover: a non-standard-compliant website is not a user friendly website (obviously!) and it might damage your business, by driving your visitors away. To avoid the inconvenience, ask your web developer to create an "all browsers compatible" website..."
