350 million malware blocks? That's just scary.

Ironically, my comp got infected with some malware that targets just IE. I ended up having to disable IE!!!

That girl sure does make me want to change to IE8 unless Firefox steps it up and shows me a better looking girl.

oh em gee. Internet explorer 8 has got to be the worst piece of $#!7, I mean software I have had the unfortunate displeasure to use in the last 5 years. They took a fully functional web browser, broke it, then took the ability to customize the browser away and hid it somewhere else!!!!

I would truly love to strangle whoever did that, but instead I will do the next best thing. Delete internet explorer from all my machines and use firefox or chrome. I can't believe people actually like this crap!

I also can not access my school's website with this IE8, even though my university wants student's to use internet explorer exclusively to access the website. They should have a disclaimer, "Works with Internet Explorer, unless of course you're using IE8 then don't bother trying to log on. Better luck turning in your semester project next time."

 

[buzznut]

Oh yeah, I'm not finished. What the hell is up with IE8 being an "Important update?" I guarantee that's the ONLY reason its the most popular, because everyone with automatic updates has the BS unwittingly installed on their computer.!!!

WTF!!!

I think those figures are almost as inflated as that blonde's chest, and just as artificially.

Sounds to me like you don't know how to use IE.

IE has gotten better over the years but still isn't very good at all. I'll be honest though, if Firefox didn't have add-ons that improved upon several aspects of the browser, I would probably be using Chrome.

 

[nforce4max]

Does IE come with the girl? :O

IE8 is far superior then FF 3.6, FF 3.6 is shit, slow and STILL has that f**ken memory leak, i honestly think that FF developers DONT know how to fix it

If that girl makes you want to do things with your web browser, I'm not sure everything is working quite right on you.

Having said that, your doctor might have a good pill for it. Or even a bad one.

The study fails. It separates IE correctly by versions 6-7-8, but breaks Firefox 3 into 3.0, 3.5, 3.6 which doesn't make any sense as they don't break IE down by individual updates as well. The correct Firefox breakdown should be 1-2-3.

In which case Firefox 3 would have 23.47% over IE8 at 22.37%.

That's because IE updates are still consider to be the same version also those updates are usually just security fixes not changes to the browser over all while FF updates their version. 3.0 to 3.5 is valid not quite sure about 3.5 vs 3.6

So is this girl a FF girl or an IE girl? Which one is the photoshoped one?

 

[phoenix777]

Had a hard time reading the article with that picture next to it...

anyway, I use Chrome. Fire Fox doesn't really support 64-bit and I hate IE. So Chrome is my only option.

 

[thomaseron]

only reason IE8 is so "popular" is because MS has put it in MS update. I really don't like IE anymore, 'cause it's slow! I use Chrome for most part, and IE only when I really have to.

[masterjaw]

Okay. This is quite expected knowing that MS is the one who made the statement. It would be ridiculous if they would betray their own product (which I don't use unless required) and say is the World's Most Popular Browser.
