New developments in web browsers

23 October 2007 by Simon Mone

Firefox in the ascendency

The W3Schools has just released the most recent browser usage statistics and, for the first time, Firefox has overtaken IE6 - 35.4% versus 34.9%. This is a major achievement for the Firefox developers and will have an impact for all of us developing sites.

We have traditionally built sites that work in IE and then redeveloped to fit the other browsers.  IE is still the most popular browser across all versions but it looks like things they are a-changing.

2007 September

IE7

IE6

IE5

Firefox

Mozilla

Safari

Opera

 

20.8%

34.9%

1.5%

35.4%

1.2%

1.6%

1.5%

Although most organisations still have IE as their browser it looks like many users have moved on.

Follow the Flock

Another browser development recently grabbing my attention is the release of Flock a ‘Social Networking’ browser. If you are a fan of You Tube, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter or any of the other networking or content sharing sites then this browser is worth a look. The innovative integration of RSS feeds and tabbed access to all your networking sites makes this browser something really different from all the others. It does appear to be similar to Firefox under the bonnet but has a raft of tools for uploading content and adding entries to blogs and to aggregate content as you like. Take a look at www.flock.com

Oh yee of the short memory, "We have traditionally built sites that work in IE and then redeveloped to fit the other browsers." Back in the good old days it was always Netscape first!

Your thoughts are amazing. Your blog, not so much.  I dont want to disrespect you, just hear me out.  Add a little something here.  What youre saying is so important itd be a shame if people missed it because they were bored to death.  May be a video or a link to something as powerful as the subject.  Just a suggestion.

Excellent information here. This interesting post made me smile. Maybe if you throw in a couple of pics it will make the whole thing more interesting.

What I dont understand is how youre not even more popular than you are now.  Youre just so intelligent.  You know so much about this subject, made me think about it from so many different angles.  Its like people arent interested unless it has something to do with Lady Gaga!  Your stuffs great.  Keep it up!

The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and to influence their actions.
