Don't you just love it!

2009 has seen the most advancement in browsers ever and especially since google has entered the market with all their financial clout and i can't see it slowing down in 2010.

IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and the winner is.........

Certainly the increase in competition and the reduction in MS's market share can only be good news for the consumer, Cammy.

[sam]

I stlll dont see me changing from Firefox/Seamonkey.

[Rik]

Me neither, but the greater the competition, the harder people will be trying, Sam.

[Simon]

I've never got on with Opera, for some reason. 

[Rik]

I didn't, people seemed to Marmite it.

[Den]

I can't see me moving from IE8 until IE9 comes out 

[Rik]

Luddite.

[sam]

opera was just one of those browsers that was ok but never really did what I wanted.

Another interesting article....


Google Uses Biggest Asset to Boost Chrome Market Share



Edit: This is a good true quote from the comments page...

"then the Chrome ad can be closed and won’t reappear in future"  That is one of the things that makes Google what it is today. Everyone else would have the ad appear constantly in your face 24/7. Hell most of them would show the ad even if you had chrome.

Its these little things that make people respect a company.

[Simon]

I think the ad is fair enough.  I'm still not convinced to switch from Sea Monkey, though.

Opera Launches Browser Faster than Chrome

Might be worth a go...














As a back up  

[Simon]

I've tried Opera several times, and could never get on with it.  I think I'd even go with Chrome over Opera, although, the Opera browser for mobiles is pretty good.

[sam]

I've never liked opera - though I used to use that instead of IE back in the day.
