Browser Wars 2006 - Microsoft set to continue dominance | |
|
||
| Time: 00:04 EST/05:04 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

With all this talk of web-based apps, it's easy to forget there's still a battle going on for the browser platform - upon which most of the 'Web 2.0' apps run. Firefox will be releasing its 1.5 version later this week, accompanied by a marketing campaign to convince users of other browsers to switch. Also a new PCWorld article gives us a glimpse of the next version of Microsoft's market-leading browser, Internet Explorer 7.0. IE7 won't be released to the general public until early next year, so PCWorld's tests are all we have to go on for now. They compared Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1, Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 1, and Opera 9 Preview 1. | ||

IE has been losing ground to Firefox over the past year and most tech bloggers (including me) report a higher percentage of Firefox than IE users. However in the mass market, IE is still by far the dominant browser. According to Web analytics company OneStat.com, as of late October 2005 almost 81 percent of Americans used IE, 14 percent used Firefox, and only a small percentage used Opera, Netscape, and all other browsers combined.
I find it interesting, but not surprising, that the visitors to the tech bloggers use Firefox more than IE. I would expect those visitors to be more tech savvy. What does that say about IE users? |

< What does that say about IE users?
I would assume it means that IE users are NORMAL and not overly interested in geek things. This has long been a fallacy of the geek crowd, this overcompensating need to view themselves as somehow BETTER than the general population. It must come from all the beatings endured as a kid. |
