Looks good to me, btw. I hadn't understand a word, but size is good :)
What I can't read is www.distrowatch.com without pressing Ctrl-+  *at 
least* once (killer feature this ctrl-+!). Sometimes I do it twice ;-)

Mozilla is gaining market share, btw. Apache.org is a geek site and you 
can see mozilla share around 10%+ and growing (see stats), but recently 
in the press they also noticed growing mozilla share. After some time 
those sites will have to change.

At www.heise.de the Gecko engine is already at 25%:

I hate it especially when homebanking sites force me to use another 
browser. www.dab.com even worked only with the Microsoft Java VM, they 
now switched to a HTML solution - after two years I asked the first 
time. www.diba.de has not been working with Gecko until now, don't know 
if it will change. www.bw-bank.de used the Netscape plugin interface, 
but now they switched to an applet - and this does not work with Gecko. 
What a hard world ... ;-)
