IE8 is Now World's Most Popular Web Browser

I somehow remember the same girl with a Firefox logo on her shirt. Weird.

It is the same girl. She was first around with a blank tshirt and someone photoshopped the FF logo onto it. TBH, no one really pays attention to the FF logo, especially now we have the original picture with that tiny pair of briefs.

Just a quick question, does Adblocker Plus work in IE8?

wtf... FF3.6 is counted as a different browser 'choice' to 3.5.

Talk about fudging the figures !

 

[bustapr]

this might be because IE8 is already installed in evey windows pc, and firefox has to be downloaded seperately. Some people are just too lazy to download FF browser. I currently use firefox because its easy to use and its stability, and sometimes use chrome because of its simplistic style. IE however crashes every time i use it. IE8 is very unstable.

Exactly, if people want to be really pedantic we should just count all Firefox versions as one and all IE versions as one....

Big shock, IE combined never shifted from No1 spot for the last 10 years...

Dont forget popular doesn't mean good - just look at American Idol...

"IE8 takes big strides in making the web a better place."

Was this supposed to be some kind of joke?

Seriously, Tom's, of course that chick is hot, but I, like many of your readers, are working in uptight corporate environments. You need to note in the link that the post is slightly-NSFW before posting something like this again...I could easily have gotten a reprimand if the wrong person had been passing by when that photo loaded. 🙁

If the corporate environment you work in is so uptight, how come they let you browse the internet whilst you are working?

Because the internet is a more-than-necessary source of information for our everyday work. I couldn't program 1/8 of my applications without learning something new from the web.

Tom's and Penny Arcade are almost my only sources of entertainment that's not blocked by the proxy.

Nothing wrong with the Tom's picture. But the link I posted was prefaced with the words:-

Hot IE girl before she had FF photoshopped

and after the link with:-

Salivate away!!!

I noticed you had a sly wink on your post, but anyone who works with a ridigly anal-retentive asshole boss (you know who you are) should at least know how to read. I would think my before and after comments would be more than enough of a warning to the NSFW crowd.

Anyhoo, let's just put all this behind us and put the link picture in the spank-bank.

I just don't want to have to explain why a tshirt girl was on my screen. There's an older woman who sits across from my cube who could have easily seen the image and reported med. I love Tom's, but I think this photo is an attempt to please the digg/reddit crowd.

I don't think it's right to separate Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 as separate browsers. 3.6 is just a patch update to the 3.x browser. You don't reclassify IE8 every time MS comes out with a security patch for it.
These should only be separated by major releases, IE6, IE7, IE8.
Firefox 1.x, 2.x, 3.x...etc. And then maybe total market share by brand.

yes.. i meant the blonde!

68.28% combined market share IE on March 2009
56.9% combined market share IE on Jan 2010

So bringing up a huge security hole in this browser--which MS just officially acknowledged today--gets me downranked, but photoshopping the firefox logo onto some chic's boobs gets upranked? Bravo...

I have to admit that FF has had better times, but nevertheless it still 100 light years better than IE8.

 

[jfem]

I thought it is firefox, I'll try IE8 then. I wonder which one is faster.

 

[totheshed]

[citation][nom]Zoonie[/nom]So is this girl a FF girl or an IE girl? Which one is the photoshoped one?[/citation]

I wouldn't doubt both are photoshoped.... and her chest is as well lol 😛

You're probably a 45 year old bald guy who jerks off to porn and I bet she would never even talk to you.
