Opera Browser Downloads Triple After Microsoft Airs Browser Ballot

tsitaat:

Turns out that Opera, Mozilla, and Google's gripes about Microsoft's browser favoritism were accurate, it appears Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 is the slowest of the major browsers on the market, but it (along with its previous editions) is also currently still clinging to almost 60 percent market share. Some say the large market share is because it's relatively secure (despite a large number of attacks due to its major market share) and because its easily managed with IT software. None of that explains the high consumer usage, though, as the general public typically isn't overly informed when it comes to security and doesn't use any sort of IT management tools. Norway-based Opera Software, who manufactures a popular third-party browser, complained that the reason Microsoft dominated in this increasingly lucrative market was not as a result of merit, but rather via anticompetitive techniques -- by bundling Internet Explorer with its ubiquitous Windows OS. It successfully petitioned European Union antitrust regulators to mandate Microsoft to adopt a "ballot screen" approach with Windows, giving users a free pick from a variety of browsers. That feature went online this week. The early results appear to validate Opera's claims that Microsoft's advantage was artificially produced. Describes Rolf Assev, Opera's chief strategy officer, "Since the browser choice screen rollout, Opera downloads have more than tripled in major European countries, such as Belgium, France, Spain, Poland and the UK." Why does Opera care about browser market share so much? Opera was among the first browser makers to broker a deal with a search engine giant (in its case Google) to auction off the browser's default search engine. As search engines lead to advertising revenue, and many users rely on the default search, such deals typically bring tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to the browser maker. The size of the deal typically depends, though, on the number of active users, so getting users to download your browser is critical. The browser ballot screen was delivered to EU users via Windows Update. When the users update, if their default browser is Internet Explorer (which is the case if you just installed Windows), the customer will receive an Internet Explorer Window that prompts them to pick between 12 browsers, including Microsoft's own Internet Explorer. Opera is included among the randomly generated list along with Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Despite the apparent success of the experiment, and gains for third party browser makers like Opera and Mozilla, some aren't entirely satisfied with the results. Shawn Hardin -- chief executive of Flock, Europe's sixth largest browser -- says that even though there's a scroll bar to find more options (lesser known browsers), that most customers won't realize that there's more picks than the ones initially positioned onscreen in the frame (Opera, IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). That, he says, isn't fair. He comments, "Frankly, nobody knows there are more than five options. We see this as unfair." Despite this and some minor other complaints, the larger third parties, Microsoft, and the European Union antitrust regulators all seem relatively pleased with the browser ballot system. Given this success, one can't help but wonder whether the ballot screen could be making its way to the U.S. sometime in the near future.

Six Obscure Web Browsers You Might Love

Sealt lingilt sai, kuna IE käimaminek viimasel ajal tõsiselt venib, Pale Moon krabatud. Ja senimaani pole midagi negatiivset ta kohta öelda. Kõik Fx´i head omadused, lisaks aga kiirem liigutamine ning mis veelgi olulisem - väiksem mälukulutus (pärast paaritunnist jooksmist kümnekonna lehega on pagefile´i kasutus märksa väiksem kui vanilla Fx´iga )

[sirius4k]

IE8 muidugi

InPrivate Browsing FTW

[Lukksepp]

opera

[loser]

Google Chrome muidugi

Incognito Browsing FTW

[MONGO]

Huvitav jah et seda valikut, mis levinuim tundub olevat, ei olegi Enamus paistab kasutavad mitut brauserit, ise ka olenevalt olukorrast ja tujust: opera, forefox, chrome ja mõnikord ka IE8, safari oli samuti mingil ajal kasutuses

[s4nder]

[Chaza!]

Firefox muidugi

Start Private Browsing FTW

[its2cold]

Opera viimane beta!

Private Windows ftw

[Creat_1]

endiselt kasutan Google Chrome'i mugav ja ülimalt kiire

[Jhael]

Chrome, igaks elu juhtumiks...

[Reedikl]

Ennist kasutasin FireFox browserit, kuid see hakkas kokku jooksma, mingi jama oli sees! Chrome oli küll kiire, aga jooksis pidevalt kokku. Operat isegi kasutasin, jättis väga algelise ja odava mulje. Safarit paluks mulle mitte enam mainida, see jookseb mul isegi Snow Leopardi peal kokku rääkimata Windowsist. Viimased kuu aega siis tagasi Internet Exploreri peal. Tal on omad head ja vead, aga on minu jaoks palju asjalikum ja ütleme siis kohe, et parem kui teised browserid. Ei ole siiamaani kokku jooksnud Veidi üllatav isegi.

Selline on minu arvamus!

Peace

[MONGO]

OT, vabandused

[Xcater]

FF-i. Sai mingi aeg IE-lt lihtsalt sellele üle mindud ning nüüd olen harjunud, hethel pole vajadust mõnda teist brauserit kasutada.

Internet Explorer hits record low

tsitaat:

Microsoft may be happy about the sales of Windows 7, but there are other things bothering them. The negative trend of its web browser Internet Explorer continues and according to NetApplications, IE is now as low as 59.95%. A record low that was last seen in 1999 when Internet Explorer 4 was launched. Firefox is the biggest competitor while Google Chrome is the fastest growing. A similar study by StatCounter claims Internet Explorer is as low as 51.42% and just adds to the downward spin that IE is in. StatCounter adds that Google and Chrome are those making the most profit of Microsoft's misery. Since Microsoft launched IE8 back in March 2009, a relatively good browser, market shares for IE have dropped no less than 9 percentages, according to NetApplications. Whether IE9 and its focus on GPU acceleration and HTML5 can make a difference is hard to say. Microsoft has shown that it can make tremendous recoveries, e.g. Windows 7, but the browser market is going to be tougher.

Browser Market Share

[Redikate]

Aktiivselt Opera... Olemas on ka FF ja IE, veebi tegevatele inimestele teatud põhjustel.

[windsurfer]

Mitu kuud juba Opera peal olnud, Firefox teisejärguliseks jäänud, tegelikult ainult id-kaardi toe pärast FF veel ongi.

[asjameez]

Eilsest kasutan Google Chrome, sest see tuleb kõige paremini toime HTML5 ja WebGL'iga, Flash ei jäta kerides maha halle laike, kiire ja stabiilne Firefox kukkus minu silmis tugevalt pärast uusime Chrome peale panekut.

[-kasutaja-]

Windosas kasutan Firefoxi ja Linux Chrome

[Petz]

Kontoriarvutis mõnda aega Pale Moon. Põmst sama, mis Firefox, aga optimeeritud otsast peale win jaoks ja ei tõmba lahjemat masinat pidevalt koomasse

[ricom2ger]

Winni all Chrome ja lumise leopoldi all Safari, eriti mõnus see, et siin HV's kah kasutajate linkitud videod vms on HTML5 stiilis ja mitte Flash.

[mihhkel]

[poiss4]

Hea, et safari on nüüd ka windowsile.

Mõnus oleks kui ka linuxile kunagi seda võimaldatakse (muidu keera midorile safari näitajad peale).

[Olaf]

Kodus Safari.
Tööl kasutan suuresti Firefoxi, mõne üksiku asja jaoks ka IE'd, kuna FF'ga kõik ei toimi.

[heretic666]

Olin põline FF kasutaja, kuniks puutusin kokku Chromega .

[raciocinio]

Enamasti Safarit, vahest Chrome. Väga harva Opera ja FF.

[Juan Pablo]

heretic666,

Proovi operat........ se peaaegu sama kui crome aga võimalusi si**ks rohkem võimalusi

[xpander]

[Juan Pablo]

xpander,

just mul on ubuntu ja w7-e

[xpander]

kõik kümnesse. IE kohta.
Ja ka Firefoxi kohta... Ise ei kasuta firefoxi vaid kasutan operat. aga see just ongi see mida keegi oluliseks peab.
minule meeldib opera, olen harjunud sellega ja saab mugavalt kasutada sama profiili nii linuxi kui windowsi all, et mõlemas kogu aeg sama staatus oleks.

[Tomorrow]

IE9 tuleb veidi parem aga kardetavasti enamus neist probleemidest jäävad vundamentaalselt samaks mis praegu.Pealegi tuleb see alles järgmine aasta kuuldavasti seega selleks ajaks on juba Chrome 6 stable,Opera 11 ja Firefox 4.0 väljas

[prtv]

Chrome puhul see number tegelikult rolli ei mängigi, kuna kunagi kuskilt artiklist lugedes, siis on neil see nummerdamise süsteem täiesti teistsugune.

NSSLabs test väidab, et IE on väga tegija.

[RPG16]

Google Chrome, loomulikult. ID kaardi kasutamisel IE.

[äss]

Chrome ka siin pool. Millal küll ID kaarti Chromis kasutada saaks

[Tomorrow]

[anonymic]

Opera, paari asja jaoks IE.

[Dirty Harry]

[Diginugis]

Mozilla Firefox ja Internet Explorer

[Evil14]

Opera (ID kaardi jaoks IE) ja ka Chromiumit uudistan sülarvuti peal, ehk millalgi selle peale üle.

[Laurman]

Opera ja peamiselt tema sujuva scrolli pärast. Sissetehtud Adblock on ka kuldaväärt.
Pika kasutamisega on muud lisavidinad ka vajalikuks muutunud

Vahest ID kaardi jaoks Chrome

[Märt.]

Firefox, vahest Chrome ja IE vahest harva WU-s käimiseks, sedagi FF-s Coral IE Tabi kasutades.
