Browserpalooza

Hey All!

This week's topic concerns the internet browser - your tool to surfing the web! With this, you can explore web pages and newssites to your heart's (and mind's) content. Specifically, the question that we are concerned with is what type of browsers are the dominant amongst users; which is the most preferred out of the whole lot?

It is easy to say that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is a clear contender for the users attention, with its clear rival being Mozilla Firefox; however, other alternatives exist in the form of Netscape Navigator and Safari. These four browsers show good stability and workmanship, being able to dominate the market. However, as shown in the below statistics, Explorer seems to have laid claim to users attention for now.( http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2007/September/browser.php )

firefox uses the correct web standards. IE uses microsoft-specific standards...yet they are dominant because IE ships with all computers with Windows on them by default.
