Firefox and Safari use continues to grow
More people are continuing to move away from Internet Explorer as their primary browser, opting for other alternatives such as Firefox. IE started the year with 85.31% of the market, falling to 79.64% during the year. Apple's Safari managed to grow from 3% to 4.24%, but Mozilla was the biggest winner with Firefox usage growing from 9.5% to 14%. Admittedly Firefox is the only cross-platform browser, which could account for some of its success, with IE being Windows-only and Safari being Mac-only. Internet Explorer is clearly still the dominant browser, but this shows a continuing downwards trend that first became apparent during 2005.

It is obvious to me that you are an M$ fanboi, considering that every post you make is in response to someone saying something negative about Microsoft. M$ isn't perfect, and neither is its software. No software is perfect. I post news stories - I am not being biased, I am simply posting the facts. I'm not going out of my way to make them look bad, and I knew you would post a comment like that. Your use of these forums has become so predictable.
As I have said, if you want to discuss things with me, send me a PM. I'm willing to talk about it. :toast:
However, my comment was more about the fact that you came in here and tried to start an argument with a comment that I would expect from your average troll, and certanly not one I would expect from a mod, then yelled at someone else for doing the exact same thing(grant he does it far more often, but still).
I mean I am sure you can see how that is a little bit ironic or maybe even hypocritial.
Anyway, mout12 and overcast will be back in a few days, so lets just try to keep techPowerUp! clean of arguements, that's what makes it a great site IMO. Does seem to have gotten a little more hostile over the last few weeks from what I've seen, but let's hope it passes over.
