Which Browser Are You Using Right Now?

[Danieluz]

I'm using Gnirfleo.

Same here

 

[OSW]

latest firefox stole some of opera's features

 

[SlCKB0Y]

lets say 30% of computer users are using eighter Mac OS
or Linux, then a claim that more than 90% of computer users are using IE doesn't seem right to me.

Except that its more likely that maybe 7% of people use either linux or mac osx.

With regard to Costellos pie chart, I hope it is not just browser ID (most people other than myself that I know spoof it) and I block all javascript stuff these days bar what I allow so analytics may not be the best thing.

I am interested in this optimised firefox though.

You can find all sorts of custom Firefox, Thunderbird & SeaMonkey builds at the Mozillazine Forums in the Third Party/Unofficial Builds section.

Props to Costello for the stats - they were very interesting and precisely what I wanted to know.
In my experience, everyone I know and everyone they know that are between the ages of 15 and 30, use Firefox.
Only their parents/older siblings/etc use IE, and no one uses Opera.
When I look at statistics such as these; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Layout_...usage_share.svg I can't help but notice
that they do not match any of my experiences or predictions. Since statistics conflict much (these: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp show three times the usage share for Firefox as the previous one) I'm starting to suspect that they are eighter being doctored, or are just plain wrong.

Personally, I want to see Firefox become the most used browser since IE simply sucks white ass, even with the features made popular by Firefox (such as browserplugins, adblocking, tabbed browsing, ...) that are now in IE7. And I can't shake the mental image that Opera is a slow, bloated browser for some reason (it just always hit me as such), but wouldn't want to see it win the browser wars regardless of it being correct or not since it is not opensource.

Currently, the poll states that 67% of posters are using firefox, which is slightly less than what I predicted (75%) but getting closer. The main demographic here seems to be (from the "GBATemp user age" poll) 16-29, comparable to the ages of the people I know that use Firefox. Since I know only gangsters (who just took my word for it and installed Firefox on their bullethole-ridden laptops) and computer programmers (who know better than to trust Microsoft) that explains any difference the the stats of the people here.(Also take notice that there is still a share of people older or younger than 19-29, who are eighter using their parents computer and aren't allowed to change anything, or are using a 'family computer' which usually is loaded with standard MS crap partly due to conveniance and partly due to older people being less tech-savvy) I simply refuse to believe just slightly more than 10% of computerusers worldwide use Firefox no matter what stats you show me. I mean, people read newspapers don't they? They know about spyware and viruses, right? Why would they keep exposing themselves when there's a better alternative to them that works even better, is completely free (as in freedom as well as money), blocks adware and has only a fraction of viruses and spyware written for it? Not to mention the increasing popularity of Linux and Mac OS that warants a different browser with Firefox being available for both these platforms and IE not (I doubt anyone having the computer knowledge to install and run a Virtual Machine is gonna use it to run IE)

Given the future storm of DRM which MS will unleash upon us, I think killing their browser off now is gonna be better than waiting untill you have to pay 10 bucks to "rent" copyrighted pictures before being allowed to view them using IE 9 and having them dissapear from your HD magically after 24 hours or some shit like that since it has become a mainstream practice and even Firefox will have to adopt these practices to remain competitive. If no one would be using IE, I'd like to see them pull it off.
