Google Chrome passes Safari to become #3 browser in the U.S.

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Google Chrome continues its charge ahead, and has finally overtaken Safari to become the third most popular browser in the United States. With 8.97% of the total browser market, Chome now sits behind only Firefox and Internet Explorer — both of which will take a little more time to catch.

Globally, Chrome fares better still — with a 9.4% share. That’s a pretty meteoric rise for a relatively young browser — though when you’ve got a Google-sized marketing networking and partners galore, it’s a little bit easier to pull off.

I know it’s not even two years old yet, but frankly I’m amazed that it took this long for Chrome to surpass Safari. What about you?

Is it Facebook’s fault that you’re still using IE6 at work?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

According to Microsoft’s chief security advisor in Australia, some companies refuse to upgrade to the latest versions of Internet Explorer because keeping employees on IE6 keeps them off of Facebook. As you’ve probably noticed if you’ve tried to sign into any contemporary social networking sites on IE6 … it doesn’t exactly work. Facebook shows a message telling you to upgrade your browser, and some features won’t work at all. Basically, IE6 is being used as a Facebook blocker.

Microsoft thinks you should upgrade your browser, too. The same security guy implied that keeping IE6 just to block Facebook is a total cop out when you could just talk to your employees about acceptable uses of company time, and then upgrade them to the faster, more secure IE8. I’ll go ahead and say what Microsoft can’t: this IE6 policy is asinine. I don’t know who these companies are, but I feel terrible for anyone who has to work for them.
