If anything, I'm surprised it's taken this long. The computer terminals in my uni library are still on IE, but no one I know still uses IE on their own computers. But maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

Interesting that most Chrome users seem to be former IE users, and that Mozilla has had roughly the same market share over the past few years. It's gotten a lot better since 2009, imo.

Hm, IE is still the most used in the US and UK, but still descending.

Woohoo! Was that new IE browser any better than the famous Internet Exploder of the past? Like, I'm not really expecting it to be, but you never know!

Now Opera needs to grow, so there's more competition. IE doesn't even count.

I personally dislike IE, I always have. Although my reasons probably aren't as fancy as everyone else's. For the most part, I heard it revolves around security and or speed. I just feel right at home using FF or Chrome, but if someone could enlighten me with the horrors of IE, that'd be great so I can pass it along.

I switch back and forth from Chrome to Firefox to Opera all the time. I love how sleek Chrome is, it is by far one of the most polished browsers available. But sometimes I feel it lacks the utility that firefox has. As for Opera, it has been falling to the back of my list lately. I like its integrated mail client though :shrug:

Shhhh! You might give Microsoft some nefarious ideas, such as not being able to download browsers on IE!
