IE Web Browser Market Share Increases, Chrome Drops

Serves them right for making it more difficult to find the porn you want (adding specific flags changes results Google). It's made me finally start using Bing and it is a good search engine, for non porn related searches too. Too bad their image search doesn't allow you to specify image size like Google does and you can't upload for comparative image searches.

I never cared much for Chrome anyways. It is too minimalistic. I get a much greater scope of addons and customization with Firefox. Chrome is also a memory hog. Though I don't know how bad IE is.

Chrome had absolutely no chance of competing against Safari, let alone IE. Safari is the greatest browser that a person can use.

FALSEchrome spys on EVERYTHING you do on the internet, including your facebook use and including your google.com use and including everything else you do.google also built a keylogger into google chrome (the address bar).here's a bit on how google defines 'anonomyzing user data'http/www.theregister.co.uk/2008/ [...] nymization"In telling the world Google will anonymize user IPs after only nine months, Google has appeased EU regulators. At least in part. But it looks like Mountain View's new policy is just another example of Google Privacy Theatre.On Monday evening, when Google deputy counsel Nicole Wong trumpeted the new nine month policy to Silicon Valley's Churchill Club, she said the company was still mulling "the implementation details." But later in the week, the company outlined its plan with a few terse sentences tossed CNet's way.After nine months, the company has confirmed with The Reg, Google will "change some of the bits" in the user IPs stored in its server logs. But as the plan stands now, it will leave cookie data alone.This means the missing bits are easily retrieved."[/citation]

Ha, and people think I'm paranoid. I never liked Google because I think it collects too much information. I never used Chrome for that reason. Glad I have been proven to be right.

I still seem to remember Chrome was crowned the most popular browser some time last year...

Get over yourselves. Once again, if you think using Windows 8 or Internet Explorer comes down to being a fanboy then you are simply technologically illiterate. No one is arguing that yes, Internet Explorer has had it's down times, but that simply doesn't apply anymore. Chrome is in it's down time, and it's about time.

If you have an SSD then you should have NO issues using Internet Explorer. It's just as fast as Google Chrome and collects less data. If you don't have an SSD and you're avoiding that to because of a little bad press, once again, you're an idiot and your opinion on the tech market doesn't matter.

You're all scared of change, there's nothing more to it. Downvote all you want because honestly, it just proves your stupidity.

[citation][nom]apache_lives[/nom]I say this is all down to Windows 8 sales -- you gotta use IE to get Chrome right?[/citation]Uh... but if all you used IE for was to download and install Chrome (or better yet Firefox), then you wouldn't show up in these statistics as an IE user.
