Default Internet Explorer market share at all time low
Sounds like IE is going to become second fiddle to FF, according to this from zdnet anyway http://blogs.zdnet.com/igeneration/?p=4888



Can't say that I am surprised by this, IE has continued to be a clunky browser, unwilling to keep up with the latest technologies and heavily weighed down by the OS.

I'm not surprised either. IE is probably not going to help anyone browsing forums. At school the other day, I saw all of the problems vB4 had with IE.

I have to work with it since most of my clients use Microsoft product that require IE but outside of work I only use FF.

Since moving to my newest pc (about two weeks ago) I have (as an experimant) set FF as the default, and so far ive been quite happy. There is one site I have to use IE for as it uses an active X component, and FF just isnt interested in working on it.

The most urgent thing to do is to ban IE6.

I'm starting to have a lot of issues with firefox on both on my Mac and home PC's.

I find chrome a overall much better browser and a lot faster.

Its about time - After 14+ years of crashing, illegal operations and other problems, its past time for another browser to replace internet explorer. And I'am not talking ie 6, 7 or 8 - the whole thing needs to be replaced.

I have been using internet explorer since windows 95, according to wikipedia that was version 1. Version 1.5 came out with NT4. I remember from way back then - if you clicked a link before the page loaded, the browser would crash with an illegal operation error. So you had to wait for the page to fully load before you could do anything.

When I first tried firefox about 4 years ago, I didn't like it.

I gave firefox a chance 5 weeks ago because I wanted to download a video and firefox has an extension(plug-in) for that, used it for a week and didn't like it.

In my opinion, Opera is the best

I agree very much. You can include this in the bottom of your forum headinclude template http://www.ie6nomore.com/
