Mostly involved in the investigation of the majority of software developers or IT professionals, but not difficult to see from this ratio, IE has lost out in the browser war to occupy a technical advantage in IE6 launch 5 years, has been the rapid development of the browser, and IE but it has not been updated, which is one of the world's most popular product, it is absolutely fatal. Firefox (Firefox browser) with its small, safe, easy to extend and customize the expertise gained more and more popular.
More importantly, it is a free browser, all the source code is open, anyone can contribute to its growth. Cookie, page caching, individuals can be precisely controlled, these features are technical personnel who advocates the "my site I call the shots" spirit. If before the FireFox 50% of the relative advantages of IE6, then, FireFox IE7 compared to the advantages of the present has been reduced to 25% or so. IE7 has been done from the bottom because a lot of changes have been slow to close a number of W3C standards, and FireFox in the functional use of the gap has become very subtle, Tab function, CSS and script support functions now than before the performance of IE7 strong, the gap exists only in a certain small details.
IE6 exist in this market, Microsoft realized that 5 years after the change and the importance of closer to international standards, which directly led to a large number of technical staff lost confidence in IE, FireFox orientation camp, but in the end Microsoft still strong , in the world there are a lot of "fans", they will always be concerned about any one of Microsoft's actions, objective evaluation is the best feedback on the product and the most valuable.
Tencent about Maxthon and TT, although they are based on IE core browser, but in this investigation after Maxthon FireFox, IE beat second-ranked position, really see the past few years has really done Maxthon to their slogan "Let the technology for the use of comfortable service."
Including FireFox, Opera browsers such standards, including the IE-based Maxthon and TT core that browser, the standard browser, FireFox and Opera's priority is to solve the compatibility problem, kernel-based Maxthon and IE TT main thing is to solve the browser plug-ins, tools, application problems, so, technical products, intense competition to bring the user is a virtuous cycle, so that we can first use the best tools to use, for commercial effect, or left to companies themselves to consider it.
