Yawn.... it seems that the browser world is, apparently, one-third Chrome, one-third IE, and one-quarter Firefox.
This is a good thing compared to IE owning the world.

GOOGLE Chrome is now the #1 Browser in the World
Full article here:Google's Chrome web browser just passed Microsoft's Internet Explorer to become the most-used browser in the world, says the latest data from a digital analytics service.
Although Chrome has edged out IE before for short periods, the last week marks the first time Chrome was the No. 1 browser for a sustained period of one week. Exactly 31.88% of the world's web traffic was done on Chrome, according to StatCounter, while IE is a close second at 31.47%.

I use Chrome, though I might use IE9 if I could. But since you cannot install IE9 on an XP machine, I'm stuck with IE8.
I had Chrome for a while .. it got to the point I missed Firefox, so I'm back. I only use IE when I have no other choice. Chrome has been uninstalled.
<double-yawn> I prefer to use FF, but a major zapp wiped out most of my file associations and I don't know enough to recover or build them back, so I'm forced to use IE8. <groan> I think I would like Chrome, but I don't like Google all that much due to privacy concerns.

There are limitations to a 10 year old OS.
I like FF for one simple reason...I can move the scroll bar to the left side. Weird, I know.
Always have and always will use IE for business.
The only place where Chrome leads is in surveys conducted by Google and the CERT list of high risk security vulnerabilities. This week is a particularly bad one for Chrome:

Given its habit of sweeping change from one release to the next, IE is arguably the most poorly suited browser to business use.Mustang Dave said:Always have and always will use IE for business.
You'd think so, but I use both 7 and XP SP3 daily, and so far the only program I can't run on XP is IE9. Otherwise, every other program I use runs equally well on both platforms. :shrug:dpeters11 said:There are limitations to a 10 year old OS.
The only reason IE9 won't run on XP is to try to get the die hard XP users to update. It's going to take a lot more than that.....Steve said:You'd think so, but I use both 7 and XP SP3 daily, and so far the only program I can't run on XP is IE9.

No more security updates? The day is coming.

I left Firefox and switched fully to Chrome about 6 months ago.
Being able to automatically sync my Bookmarks and other settings across multiple computers is invaluable to me.
I'll research something at night and then bookmark the information.
When I get to the office, it's right there where I left it.
No more e-mailing links to myself.
Couple that with Chrome's Adblocking extensions, and you'd have to waterboard me to get me to go back to the dark cages of IE or FF.
I just skimmed the article, but saw no mention of how many people use Chrome Frame in IE.
I have fixed many user's IE script errors by removing malicious add-ons and installing Chrome Frame.

You know you can open IE-only sites automatically in Chrome or FF using the IE Tab plug-in, right?la24philly said:i have fire fox, chrome, and IE
