Firefox May Already Be Dead

Who cares, i'll take a slightly slower browser over garrish banners and adverts any day.
 
"But while Firefox 3.1 lags behind WebKit and Chrome, it is substantially faster than every other browser that Computerworld tested. Beta 2, for example, is almost twice as fast at rendering JavaScript as Opera Software ASA 's Opera 10 , which was released in alpha just last week; and Mozilla's current production Firefox 3.0.4 version."

:)
 
Sure, Chrome might be "faster" than Firefox, but the same goes for a Ferrari and a bullet-proof limo... see which one survives a grenade attack :)

Firefox isn't the most secure browser available for nothing. It also has a very good reputation with stability.... Chrome doesn't have either...

Chrome is still beta mate, and Chrome has survived well at the recent pwn2own hack event.

I don't like chrome that much but it is a good browser and I'm looking forward to the linux and OSX release.
 
Firefox 3.1 will be much faster... and Firefox 3.5 blows the socks off all the others! :D

Don't worry... it is far from dead! :)

Nils has hacked Internet Explorer 8, along with Safari and Firefox

Nils exploited all three of the browsers within 30 minutes, a conference spokeswoman said.

Nobody has tried to hack Google's Chrome browser

LOL. Its only secure because its has such a small userbase. Why do anyone want to hack it? Hmmmm?
 
I wish they'd make a mobile version of Firefox already, Opera mobile is a memory hog of note.
 
Firefox inches towards 50%, Safari holds steady

These are the kind of stats that should make the Mozilla folks very happy. According to W3Schools data, Firefox climbed to 46.4% in February, while the various versions of IE dropped by 1.2% to 43.6%. Granted, this is skewed towards developers, but most sources agree that IE is on a downward slope.

Market Share shows Moz up again in February by a slim .14% to 21.77%, while IE dropped again by .11% to 67.44%. I’m sure Microsoft is hoping to boost their stats with IE8, but the enthusiasm for another Explorer release seems to be lacking.

If it weren’t for Safari being strategic for the iPhone, I’d say that Apple ought to just kill Safari and embrace Firefox. (Well, with Fennec, they ought to anyway…) According to W3Schools, Safari is holding steady at 3%, despite being available for Windows in addition to Mac OS X. Market Share shows Safari at a more respectable 8.02%, but dropping from January.

The best news of all is for users who don’t do Windows: A shrinking market share for IE means that Web developers should be thinking about writing for Web standards, not for a specific browser.

hardly dead at all, I'd say. :)
 
I'm wondering what the impact of SpyBot "Immunisations" is on Browser safety. Will these immunisations protect from exploit attacks in both Moz and IE?

Study: Microsoft holds solid in browsers, Chrome slow to grow

More specifically, IE garnered 72.23 percent market share, up from 69.72 percent in March 2008, but down from March 2007, when it captured 78.69 percent, the report found. Google managed to eke out just under 3 percent. Firefox, meanwhile, continued growing to reach 17.18 percent of all users

Chrome is much faster than Firefox and if you're into FB gaming, it's the only browser you should use.

Sometimes I think Chrome was written specifically for me. :)
 
Chrome just provides a far superior browsing experience, and that is what really matters in a browser.
