The new security and privacy features in IE, Firefox, and Chrome are a welcome addition, but check out ArmorSurf. It goes one step beyond.

Great, another crapy MS browser to support. I swear it costs 20% more resources to support IE7 and another 20% on top of that to support IE6. Now IE8 is poised to cut even MORE into R&D bottom lines…

Microsoft is bad for the Internet. Period.

That’s a pretty generic mission that FireFox is advancing. Between Chrome and IE8 I have little use for FireFox outside of its world of plugins.

Yes, IE6 needs to be pushed out.

Sorry I’m so late in posting this but I was on a plane all day. I just want to clarify the question of Apple’s participation. They were invested, repeatedly and most recently at MacWorld last week, but they declined.

im not sure i can get all excited about a browser war. overall if it ain’t one browser its another. we already have so many browsers and app plug-in funtionalities we could ever want. the real war will be “location based offerings” and who can best position consumers and businesses on a natural language location network. the battle ground for mobile is the interenet and how good you can bridge the two. the killer app for the ipone is the safari tab and its free.

The browser wars have increased the cost associated with delivering a broadly available web application….and I am happy to pay that tax in exchange for performance gains.

While we’ve applied performance learnings to our app over the past 3 years, improvements to the delivery vehicle (the browser) account for no less than 50% of the realized improvement.

Keep funding this war! Incredibly healthy for Microsoft to see a bunch of Ferraris circling IE. As much we love seeing the faster browsers gain share…Internet Explorer still sits atop the mountain (albeit a somewhat eroding mountain).

Smartsheet customer traffic over the past month breaks down as follows: (browsers with over 1% share)

Internet Explorer – 57%
Firefox – 34%
Chrome – 4%
Safari – 4%

Where did things stand same period last year?

Internet Explorer – 67%
Firefox – 30%
Safari – 1.5%

Competition is good.

Here’s to keeping the (browser) war effort going.

It’s still a PIA to design everything then make it relatively backwards-compatible for the 20-percent on IE6; I wish MS would do something draconian to finally kill that beast.

@Ryan Townsend
Dean (Microsoft) made the point that Apple controls WebKit, so anyone depending on WebKit is depending on Apple. “It is open source, but the people running the project all work for Apple”.

Of course this begs the question – Why doesn’t MS make their rendering engine available as Apple does?

@Ryan Townsend – Exactly. It’s insane.

@Mary Leander – That strategy worked great 10 years ago.

If I was there, I would have asked the IE team why they insist on wasting a collective millions of hours of developers’ time every day with their mockery of an HTML rendering engine. Trident is a nightmare. Thanks to IE 8 we will now have THREE nightmares that don’t follow standards that need to be fixed, so that a website renders properly. What a shame. The web will not evolve as it should until IE (especially IE 6) is in the minority and is thus forced to be truly standards-compliant.

I stick with IE – easiest to develop for and the most popular. If it doesn’t look the same in opera or firefox I really don’t care!
