Rep Power: 3  |  War of the web browsers  Hi, Guys which browser do you use ?? .....also post a reason if you have any for your reason for using the particular web browser .... Regards, Ed Reasons for Going with FF -->Greatest number of add-ons and themes -->Second fastest browser (after chrome) -->Most secure -->Open source (Google generously used firefox coding during the making of Chrome) ..That is why chrome too is open source... -->There is concern that Google which is notorious for tracking user stats will succeed in its attempt once Chrome is widely adopted.... Hence i find absolutely no reason to switch to chrome (my main surfing activities).....other Web browsers arent as good as FF  Last edited by ShAdOwCoN; 10-09-2008 at 01:46 AM.

Rep Power: 7 | Actually there is only one winner in this war and we may not like it but IE has over 70% of the market. |

Rep Power: 6 | i agree with you just4kix that IE got about 70% of market and i m sure that you are aware why it got about 70%. just because of the fact that it's default browser of windows OS and comes with all windows OS, most of the domestic users in india dont want to take any chance with computers and dont modify it like that. apart from that as IE is the default browser so all organisations recomend using IE only and most of the work networks got websence which stops you from downloading anything on system which is not related to business.. so its obvious that stats will go up for IE only... just think if everyone in india starts using linux then what will happen to IE stats and data... do you think anyone will use it... |

Rep Power: 3 | IE no way ! Quote:
If you have seen the percentage stats you would have noticed that IE 6 dominates the Browser usage not IE 7 !.Does that mean IE 6 is the best web browser,even better than IE7?? Most users are not aware of other options.....or not technically savvy enough to experiment.... But recently Firefox has been rapidly taking up a major part of the cake .....As you very well know that Firefox holds a Guinness World record for "The most number of downloads in 24 hours of Firefox3" 8.5 million downloads in 24 hours It wont be too long before Firefox comes neck to neck with IE and finally beats it Last edited by ShAdOwCoN; 11-09-2008 at 12:04 AM.

Rep Power: 7 | I never said IE (6 or 7) is the best browser. I said that it is so way ahead of competition (for whatever reasons) that it will be difficult to catch up for others. I really doubt whether FF will beat it. FF has been better browser for last so many years but IE still controls the arena (again for whatever reasons).

Rep Power: 0 | actually its very difficult to comment on this because firefox and opera and for that case even safari have their own pros n cons....but then cant say....even google chrome is fine...but its too early to comment anything on that Quote:
