Browser Dream

Tim Bray talks about browsers, and I believe he's written another essay that'll be /.ed soon. There is one single thing that makes me still use IE on Windows, as much as I would like not to - it's the only browser that is embeddable in applications such as FeedDemon, SharpReader and others. That's a really powerful option, so perhaps it would be a great idea to write a decent COM interface to Mozilla or FireBird for the Win32 platforms. Apart from that, my only problem is a triviality, so I've taken to use both IE and FireBird all of the time. And I clearly like FireBird better, as I believe any sane person would do.
