This is funny because people using Google Chrome have the most problems accessing our business’ website.

“Firefox, largely funded by Google revenues...”

Really? I didn’t know that.

Yep. Even I made the switch to a browser based on the chrome source called Iron.

I tried Chrome, but didn’t really care for it.

I will say that on my old WinXP, it would play videos that other browsers would not play, due to newer video codecs and player versions.

It did load a lot of crap and had an insufferable interface that couldn’t be altered.

I still prefer Firefox because of several productivity add-ons. I admit that FF’s recent rapid release is one of the most insane things any company has ever done. I will be glad when they work that out of their system.

Comodo Dragon browser is supposed to be based on Chrome. I have considered trying it, but haven’t yet.

Explorer takes forever to load...if it even does. Haven’t used it in forever.

Chrome is faster. But I am not happy with google’s data-collection-on-you paradigm... and suspect we will find out they’ve been spying on the users of Chrome, at some point.

I prefer Seamonkey. It’s a Firefox related browser-suite with a built in e-mail reader and a few other programs.

I run it off my thumbdrive using Portable Apps. I can use almost any computer and it always looks just like I want it to. Even has it’s own wallpaper.

Google Chrome world’s most popular browser

Yet, Internet Explorer has more users than all of the other browsers COMBINED.

IE Rides Windows 7 and 'Beauty of the Web' to Continue Rebound

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/254767/ie_rides_windows_7_and_beauty_of_the_web_to_continue_rebound.html

So, which is it???

IE losing ground, or IE gaining or regaining ground?

Depends...

On which side of statistics people prefer to present or use.

According to the article I quoted above, IE is still way ahead of all the others COMBINED.

Oftentimes, people fail to mention their preferences for using a set of statistics which seem very disturbing for Microsoft, which they, apparently, are biased against.

If Chrome actually had the largest number of users, the MS haters would be touting that statistic, rather than the one they're using, which shows "number of visits". It all depends on which set of statistics is most unfavorable to Microsoft.
