Browsers are now an indispensable tool and, quite possibly, the best known software application available. Where once it was this record to applications like Microsoft Word, the podium is now occupied by the application that has revolutionized the computer, communication, and possibly the world. Due to its simplicity, the browser has spread quickly and adaptive capabilities that few other applications have been able to show: cross platforms (cross platform) and cross devices (multi-device).
Surfing the Internet is possible thanks to your browser, we can use it from a PC, a Mac, a handheld, the new "mobile phones". All this is possible, among other things, due to the simplicity (in theory) of - true - work that a browser should do: convert visual information coming from the network.
When a browser displays a page correctly, 99% of its work is finished! The colored cards, auto-completion of addresses, endless options, the management of bookmarks and everything else, are helpful but an outline. At the same features, therefore, we can all agree that the "best" is one who displays the most of what we want to see!

Why, then, the most popular Web browser is the one with the worst features?

If going to comb through the various statistics of the most widely used browser, or simply looking at the statistics of your website or blog, you'll find that Internet Explorer holds on average over 70%, followed by Firefox, Safari and Opera.

Performarce

A little 'accounts just to be aware of the paradoxical situation. These are data ( Web Browser Benchmark Comparison ) on the performance of its internal motors to browsers and therefore important, if not important, in so-called Web 2.0 applications; low values ​​(we speak of time, the specifics of milliseconds) indicate better performance:

Acid Test

Moving on the side of the graphic rendering acid test 3 (already tried long ago in Four browsers: Acid 3 tests a disappointment ... ) speaks for itself, in which case higher values ​​denoting better skills:

In summary:

Why should write a browser?

If anyone wondered why Google has decided to develop its own browser, and why Microsoft is finite even in court, the issue of pre-installation of IE on Windows does not know that part of the revenue derived from advertising on search engines like Google , Yahoo, Live search, and others, are "shot" to the browser that generated the research! Since we're talking about significant amounts of money, it becomes clear why that drives the development of a browser, even if it was distributed free of charge. It is obvious that Google has grown tired of "running" part of its revenue to external browsers. The spread of Google Chrome in Biggar would save a lot '!

Change!

If you have a PC and find a good pre-installed Microsoft Internet Explorer, do not be overcome by laziness and, for once, try the thrill of change! Install a different browser is easy, just click below:

• Mozilla FireFox
• Apple Safari
• Work
• Google Chrome

Viral effect: intentional or by accident?

There is also a personal issue that grips me! In fact two: the first is that as a programmer I just can not understand how coarse bugs already present in versions 5, 5.5 and 6 of Internet Explorer you are dragged over time, despite numerous reports and complaints. It certainly can not say that Microsoft has difficulty to perform updates on your system, given its "always on" Windows Update. Even more curious, in fact, is engaged in a browser like Internet Explorer operating system suffers scarcely security updates but not those related to bad interpretations of CSS or Javascript. This will remain an eternal mystery to me!

The second issue is the archive of posts undolog. I realized, in fact, how many times I wrote complaining of the bad functioning of the Explorer. In short, in the end I said something wrong but still spoken! And if all that was wanted? Maybe they were the unwitting victims, along with someone else, a well-studied viral campaign!
