Battle of the browsers....who will prevail??

There are many browsers out there and I am impressed how each of them differs,in terms of GUI or functionality. But, most people would stick with the giants...like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google's Chrome.

Internet Explorer

According to w3schools, Firefox has taken over IE's place as the most competitive and popular web browser among all. This maybe due to the fact that Mozilla Firefox's market share are going uptrend despite the presence of a new browser, Google Chrome. Whereas in IE's case, their market share has dropped since September 2010.

Mozilla Firefox

One of the reasons that resulted in this drop maybe caused by the clutter free GUI provided by Chrome in comparison with IE's dull GUI. On the other hand, Firefox continues to bank on it's stability and reputation to climb up the ladder. Both Firefox and Chrome also provides add-ons and extensions respectively that allow users to work more easily and efficiently.

Google Chrome

However, there's another story about the ranking and it is shown on netmarketshare, that IE has 57.08% market share. Following IE, is Firefox and Chrome with 22.08% and 9.98% respectively.



But no matter what the ranking is, it's all up to us to choose what browser to use. So, choose a browser that you are comfortable with instead of following the popularity the browser obtained. =)
