I am glad that Firefox seems to be getting some traction. Unfortunately Internet Explorer users will have less of a good time on my new project. Nuclear strikes take like 25 times longer to display and are visually crooked, due to the fact that Microsoft insists on using their graphics rendering engine rather than the one Google provides.

Example below.


See how the circles are not centered and crooked in IE. I suppose that it could be considered to be random effects, but the fact that IE takes 7-8 seconds to less accurately render 25 nuclear strikes while Firefox does it perfectly in less than half a second is just really annoying.

IMO anyone who uses Google maps regularly on IE should consider trying out Firefox. Personally I had no idea that there was such a difference in rendering speed when displaying complicated routes and traffic or such.
