Viva Le Fox!
According to some, Firefox will break 10% market share by October. <Mr.Burns>Excellent!</Mr.Burns> Apparently Opera isn’t too fond of Firefox (which I have dubbed “The Fox”). Opera claims that The Fox’s usage is overreported due to their caching system, and that Opera’s stats are underreported since Opera has a more advanced caching system, and because it identifies itself as IE by default.
It’s not Firefox’s fault that Opera is ashamed of itself! Opera should identify itself as Opera, rather than get bent out of shape over this. And don’t get me wrong: I like Opera as a browser. I just like Firefox better.
Oh, I also read a review of Microsoft’s half-assed attempt at tabbed browsing. Apparently it sucks. I’m sure it would, given MS’s track record with IE, and the fact that they rushed the feature out because they were losing so much market share to The Fox. Plus, you can’t just install the tab feature, you have to install the whole MSN search bar. As if!
