A friend pointed out a great article on layouts and the future of web browsers. It is a very interesting article about how browsers are changing, but it's no real excuse for designers and developers not to think about being user friendly.
Quote:
Shouldn’t a web-site rather adapt itself to the viewing preferences of its users? If you think about it for a second, you have the same situation as in a cloth store where you are offered cloth only in some very specific size. If the size doesn’t fit to you, it’s your problem, not store’s owner. And if you want to you can take a needle, some fabric and create the cloth of its own choice for free. That is not user-friendly.
