DigitalTrends: As Apple continues to grow up and gain market share, they will be subject to the same typee of attacks that Microsoft has become so used to defending.
The March launches of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) and Firefox 4 failed to stop Microsoft's and Mozilla's decline in browser share, new Web usage data published Sunday showed.
I think IE has become a Enterprise only browser. That's why we have seen limited increases in the newer versions on IE. Enterprise rejected Vista and is slow to accept Windows 7. Both of which require a newer IE. This may slowly change as people start using IE 9 at work and may find it something they may want to use at home. But I think Microsoft made a mistake by not updating IE more frequently.
Unfortunately Chrome seems to be increasingly bloated compared to what it was a year ago so I'm not surprised its increase has slowed. It says a lot about the current state of the market that many people now have to use multiple browsers to satisfy their needs.
My thoughts exactly. i dont understand how come everybody doesnt use multiple browsers i say it on a daily basis. each browser is made for something and thats what we should use it for. Firefox and opera are great for downloading. I downloaded something once at school and the comp was administrator locked down all i could use was ie. i went to download and 10 popups came up but on firefox i never seen 1 ad when i used that site.
Firefox 'till I die, son.
Chrome's cool, but I didn't like how it always opens new processes for everything. I also just like Mozilla more than Google.
BT: "With Firefox 4 beta 9 impressing the crowds, we decided to do a benchmark test of all the major browsers on the market to see who comes out on top."
Statistically it doesn't unfortunately. I;m still with the fox though because I just like how it's set up for web development purposes. I don't wanna give in to the Google train either... I pretty much use a ton of their services already :/
I made the jump over a year ago and very rarely use firefox now. The only times I DO use firefox is for websites that look abit dodgy and I need the added security.
