Microsoft now has a child friendly browser thanks to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP). Actually it is a child friendly version of it’s Internet Explorer 9 browser. The company created the browser as a way for parents and their children to have access to information that will help them to browse the internet safely. It also gives them tools to report any possible dangers to CEOP.
Microsoft is rolling out silent updates for Internet Explorer in the new year. But as usual this is a half-baked effort that will let too many people off the hook to do any real good.
Chrome is on the up, blah blah blah. Firefox is finished, blah blah blah. Internet Explorer is still number one, which cuts through all that bluster.
Microsoft’s ability to talk itself and its products up is sometimes unrivaled. If not a little shady, and sometime underhanded.
The demise of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser has been foretold by many for some time. It appears that analysts are now predicting that the market share for IE will dip below 50 percent by next year.
It turns out users of Internet Explorer aren’t retarded after all. Unlike the technology bloggers who promoted the fact they were. Which includes myself. Oops.
In a new twist to the browser wars it seems your choice of Web facilitator suggests something about how intelligent you are. The title may have given away the ultimate result…
Microsoft appears to be dropping its insistence that HTML5 is “native” to Windows and to Internet Explorer. And about time too.
The market share for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has continued to trend downwards this year. According to a report, it doesn’t appear that the trend will change in the foreseeable future.
Mozilla released Firefox 5 this week, just a few months after Firefox 4 hit the Web. While consumers are generally fine about this Chrome-style rapid release development cycle, enterprise customers aren’t. Score one for Microsoft.
Bloomberg BusinessWeek recently sponsored an event with Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft at the 92nd Street Y in New York last evening. Allen indicated that Microsoft will need to “accelerate” its product development to compete with other companies.
Even though Internet Explorer 9 was only released a few weeks ago, Internet Explorer 10 is already in development. And Microsoft is upping its game, with an annual release schedule for updates to its Web browser.
One of the best things about Internet Explorer 9 is is the website Beauty of the Web. The site gives you a lot of different areas to explore with or without Internet Explorer 9 (IE9). My favorite place to explore so far is the section Amazing Sites.
It’s got to the stage now that Microsoft has stopped asking nicely that we all stop using Internet Explorer 6. Instead, it’s begging us to upgrade to a later version of its ever-popular Web browser.
Are Internet Explorer’s days as the number one browser in the world numbered? It’s already lost that crown in Europe.
