Browser War

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

Honestly I'm a fan of Google Chrome. My 2nd choice would be Safari.  Browser war has been around for so many years. As far as I could remember, it started with Netscape, then, IE, then comes Firefox, Chrome and so on. Usually for normal browsing I'll use Safari, for  video streaming i'll use Chrome and for hacking, I prefer Firefox. Every browser has its pros and cons.
Recently, chrome has overtook Safari at number 3, number 2 is still Firefox and the market leader is still IE. However, IE is losing its market share bit by bit. But I guess when IE launch its new browser, which is IE9, a lot of users will revert back to IE due to its new functionalities. It's totally different for previous versions of IE. It's more to Chrome but faster. You can only try the beta version of it for now. Take note that I'm not a IE fan, but I can't denied the good side of IE 9.
