October Web browser market share: Firefox continues its fall, IE11 now on top

article published on 1 November, 2014

Anyone else find that green chunk of pie in the picture to be very depressing? (It's IE8 for those who can't read the lettering.)

Sadly, it's not just foreign countries. There are U.S. corporations that still use Windows 7 + IE8 for their employees.

Due to certain enterprise software that's either stuck in the dark ages, or those companies refuse to pay to upgrade. Working with some of these clients, they only use IE for those applications and usually have Google Chrome and/or Firefox installed for their regular web browsing.

As for Firefox, they need to debloat the program. It uses way too much memory and often locks up.

Perhaps if stupid end-users asked the pros what is best, IE wouldn't be as accepted.

As for the truth, IE-ANYTHING is popup laden. Crappy, untrustworthy browser....PERIOD. I try to ban from my network.

Firefox has proven time and time to be the FASTEST browser and Waterfox is even BETTER!

Chrome sucks! Too many sites that it doesn't play nice with. Brutal RAM hog and treats every tab as a separate instance (process) of Chrome running.

While I am exclusive (for the most part) to Waterfox (current version 32.0.3), Chrome is a notably better choice to IE.

I stopped using Firefox a long time ago when they refused to fix that memory leak bug.
