Web Browser Popularity

So the left is exactly what it says it is: a graphic of browser popularity through the past couple decades.

I am sure everyone remembers the days of Netscape (what a lousy pile of junk that was...) and Internet explorer (also garbage).

I am a huge fan of Chrome. It should be noted that compared to the other web browsers out there, Chrome has the fastest growth rate of popularity of all the other browsers (of course, save Internet explorer, when there was only one other option to choose from. Because Netscape was so weak, it wasn't hard to gain that market share).

There are some instances when compatibility does not work, namely because things like D2L just refuse to upgrade, but otherwise, Chrome is par none, the most effective browser I have used. In close second is Firefox. If you use anything other than these browsers, then you are getting shorted because it only takes a few uses for you to realize what you are missing out on. Its custom abilities are unlike any other. It doesn't load all the toolbar crap but has that option if you want it. It self updates instantly.

Oh, and safari is terrible.

The strength of a browser can be defined by how easily it can get hacked. Compared to all the others on this graphic, Chrome was at the top.

I know Google has released their own operating system before, but I think it fell through. I await the day when they take another stab, but cause they are basically creating their own fully functional web computer with all the positives of Microsoft products, minus the hassles of paying out the nose for updates and downloading patches.

Why do you think Google is so popular? cause they are realistic about their business strategy and don't try and hoodwink people. Though, there are several studies done about browsing history and search results, but I still like them and that isn't a topic for now anyways.

:P
