IE8 vs FF3

I think IE8 will win, because of popularity and the fact that IE installs automatically with Windows.

 

Just look at all the firefox users. Most likely haven't even looked at a upgraded IE

 

So does FF, FF is starting to give IE a bad name. Also, Linux and Mac users don't use IE and there more and more of them all the time.

There was a small increase in people using IE7 for March, however there is a greater increase for FF. The increase for IE could be explained by considering the amount of people that have left EI6 and maybe upgraded.

I used to be IE's personal bitch. Every once in a while I'll use IE, however it's the same as it's always been, just a little faster and just as stripped. FF is also a great help to developers, which I am. So viewing source is much better with syntax highlighting.

 

so WIN is a monopoly then, is that what you are saying

 

firefox fo shiz

 

lol, your username!! good luck with that ;_)

 

always Microsoft's products.

 

ie will win in terms of people using i.. my sites show at least 8 out of 10 are IE users

 

You can't even get flash in firefox

 

i havent used ie for a whole year. so im definitely with firefox

 

firefox, wont use anything else

 

Thats news to me, I just played this flash game, on FF: http://www.flashgames247.com/play/868.html

Plus I get those annoying flash banner ads, so yes, I can use flash.
Maybe your thinking of an older version.

 

I would expect Firefox 3 to come out on top.

 

firefox will win

ie is copying there ideas to be on top again and that wont do

liek tab browsing and the inbuilt feature of google,yahoo and other search engine bar

these all are copied from firefox and put in ie

so how can ie win if they are not original

also firefox works better and its download manger is far better than ie

 

Winning, in this context, is to do with marketing. Nothing to do with originality.

If MS can use its huge store of funds to market well, combined with its dominant position, then it could easily win.

 

Yeah, flash is alive and well in the FF....maybe he was thinking active-X?

However, one thing I did notice...(just reinstalled my XP) FF did not install flash based on the "click here to DL missing plug-in"...had to manually install it and once it did it was fine. I kept getting an error doing the on the fly install.

 

yeah... right...
if you look at ie8's features, you'll see some new, unimplemented ones in other browsers. but you don't know that, because you didn't even tried ie

 

FF3 rocks.. it's fast

 

IE will win.

 

i just hope ie eventually catches up to ff in terms of ability to make a good web design, i'm gettin real sick of having to sacrifice functionality in a template because ie can support it correctly
