browser wars

It seems as though Microsoft is getting the bump by some manufacturers here in the U.S,, as Sony, for one, is shipping its VAIO notebooks with Chrome as the default browser.
Everyone who reads certainly must know by now that Internet Exploder is the slowest  of the most used browsers, and it has only been in [...]

You know things are getting weird when Microsoft and Mozilla agree on anything. After all, one is a closed source developer, the other is open source. The one uses bullying tactics and sheer market drive to push its browser, the other has used an appeal of quality to the prospective users.
This is one of those [...]

I wrote yesterday about the Microsoft reply to the use of Chrome Frame, and, while many places were concentrating on articles about the speed increases, those same places now seem to have caught up on the ’shot’ that Google was taking at the core of Microsoft.
This morning, Adrian Kinsley-Hughes, from ZDnet, asks who do you [...]

Announced today, Google has just dropped a bomb on the Microsoft camp. Through the use of a plug-in, it is going to attempt to win the browser wars in one fell swoop.
A plug-in called Chrome Frame, will ostensibly  install into any recent version of Internet Explorer, and transfer all of Chrome’s goodness and speed, directly [...]

A story on Betanews states that Google is going to have Chrome soon found on Sony Vaio computers, as delivered.  The beginning of a move by Google to get Chrome into the mainstream may or may not come with this, as Sony is not really a major supplier of computers. A really big deal would [...]

I usually don’t get too excited by much of anything when it comes to computers anymore. It’s not that I have seen it all, but if I haven’t, it probably isn’t worth seeing. That’s not a ‘Look at me, I’m great!’ moment, but I have been doing this for over 20 years, and I was [...]

Apparently the sound beating that all the competing browsers give Internet Explorer 8 is not enough to keep them from spending still more money to bring attention to it. With the release of Firefox 3.5 yesterday, you must admit that Microsoft certainly isn’t afraid to spend, bringing ads for IE8 to market on the very [...]

Someone named David, at at site called JCXP, has decided that he does not like the fact that the people who put out Opera have taken Microsoft to task, by way of lawsuit, for the way in which its browser is marketed.
While it is easy to see this as Microsoft being picked on by Opera, [...]

At last Microsoft has given a reason to download Internet Explorer…maybe a few times. Just announced, the company has this on their website -
Microsoft and Feeding America Join Forces to Fight Hunger

Microsoft’s “Browser for the Better” campaign donates equivalent of eight meals for every download of Windows Internet Explorer 8..
More than 17 million children in [...]

Yesterday, Apple took the fight to Microsoft on several fronts; ones we all know, but perhaps don’t immediately conclude.
The upcoming operating system upgrade, Snow Leopard, has almost been lost in the blur of noise around Windows 7, its many leaks, free widespread betas, and usual, hand-in-hand hype and FUD. With the announcement that upgrades for [...]

Everyone has one, and most people think theirs smells the best. Over at PC World, someone identified as Keir Thomas wrote an article yesterday, predicting the demise of the Firefox browser. In fact, he says the deceased simply doesn’t know it yet.
As evidenced by the the up and down votes, he just might have started [...]

After downloading, and using the Chrome browser from Google, I see that it is a project that offers another way of looking at things.
This is nice for those who suffer from ADD and need to move on to something different, but I wonder how the development team decided it was time to release a [...]
