Isn't that kind of lazy reasoning? Yeah, they're probably on to something, but that's not an indictment of quality.Greg Tito said:
Well, unless maybe that means Farmville is GOTY.
Internet explorer still exists?DVS BSTrD said:

OT: Firefox is my main, with Chrome as a back up. The moment I discovered there was an alternative to IE, I ditched it forever. IE is leading but mostly due to people not knowing the alternatives and the great number of company/school computers that prohibit the use of other browsers. At least that's my theory.

Last time I tried using Mouse Gestures in Chrome in required a plug-in, and the responsiveness was too low. Do you use mouse gestures for back, forward, new tab, close tab, etc?Snowalker said:
Opera invented mouse gestures and still does them best last I checked, but maybe Chrome has made a better copy by now. Opera has a lot of default features, so I'm not used to digging through plug-ins.
Firefox here, never gonna change unless they stop making it competitive with the others. If it goes the way of Netscape Navigator...
Moo...
Moo...
I have a great connection and I just built a damn good computer about 3 months ago. My computer can handle it, it's just still a lot more than anything else. Christ, if I have a bunch of tabs open I'll check my task manager and it'll tell me that it's using 200 mb of memoryDVS BSTrD said:
And rightly so. Firefox has been a clunky mess since its second year, and continues to run purely on adopter fervor.
Just look at the trends in the graph. While most of chrome share is coming from ie, there is an obvious downward trend in FF as well-- with no sign of abatement.
Once you go chrome, you never go back.
My browsing habits typically involve 30 browser instances with 5-10 tabs each. Firefox and IE both fail miserably under this type of load, and the restore functions of chrome put both to shame in the event of a crash.

I don't personally use mouse gestures, but I can. I didn't realize I downloaded a plug-in if I did. But that seems unbelievably minor, I mean, no one I know use mouse gestures that much, and as personal opinion, I'd rather be able to down load the things I see as necessary than have a huge download thats full of shit I'll never use.isometry said:
Internet Explorer 6 is only used by 8.3 percent of the world right now. Which is still alot.

So now it's up to us to make them switch to chrome. Though strangely enough, there are companies that make certain functions on their sites incompatible with chrome... Or at least that's what I've been noticing.
Blasted fools don't know how to recognize where their allegiances should lie.
(It's chrome, that's where)

Firefox still wins for me because of the plug-ins. It may be bordering on bloat but Firefox has a functionality (for me) that Chrome doesn't have (yet).Byere said:
Posting from a work computer that only has IE7. I remember the old days booting Netscape and opening AltaVista or Ask Jeeves, ahh memories.
