Windows 10: Google Chrome Likely to Dethrone Internet Explorer

I still think Edge is better than any other browser out there. *Smile

 

Opera 22 or 2014 for my primary everyday use browser fast lean and very tight security and easy to customize...


Since version 22 or year 2014 Opera went down hill and today the been sold to a player who is geared on cloud and mobile services , in a nutshell Opera Browser will not be to,,, much around in PC or Desktop sector any longer



My All Time Favorite Browser Below:





I have never used a better browser this Opera V 22 or 2014 to this date.....

" just my personal experience with Opera 22 and Insight "

 

Okay, here are the browser numbers at the end of March 2016.



39.05% are using some version of Windows Explorer. This is a 5.74% drop from last month.

37.44% are using some version of Chrome. This is an increase of .88% from last month. Chrome has grown over 1% per month for 11 months now, and is on its way to replacing Explorer as the world’s most popular browser.

The big winner is Microsoft Edge, at 4.3%. Last month, it didn’t even make the list. This month, it passed Safari to become the fourth most popular browser in the world.

At 8.58%, Firefox has dropped 3.1%.

At 4.16%, Safari has dropped .72%.

Opera dropped .24% to 1.44%. This is only its second decrease in 11 months.





Crunching the numbers:

With 90.39% of the world using some version of Windows, only 43.2% of them are using the steadily-fading Explorer. Add in Edge, and 52% of all Windows users are not using a Microsoft browser.

My predictions? At the end of April 2016, Chrome will be the world’s most popular browser. Long before the end of the year, Edge will pass Firefox. The death of Explorer is as inevitable as the death of the well-loved Windows XP—as computers wear out, they will both be replaced.



Explaining the numbers:



All of these browsers (with occasional exceptions) work well. The worst criticisms go to Explorer, whose popularity is largely due to the fact that it is included with Windows so many people don’t change it. Edge’s burst in popularity far exceeds the growth of Windows 10—in my opinion, Win 10 users are carefully trying it out, and a lot of them are switching over.

 

maybe you just don't know any better *sarc

 

haha, I just like how Edge was built. I have all other browsers on my system right now (Opera, Chrome, IE, and Firefox, maybe there are more I need to try?) and Edge is the number 1 on my list.

My top 4:
1. Edge
2. IE
3. Chrome
4. Firefox & Opera

 

You have to understand my customer set to understand why I do this. Many times I come to work in the morning and there is a computer sitting there with a name and a phone number. In most cases I recognize the name, but not always. If I don't know what they want done I'll call them and ask. Most of them have Chrome because it was forced on them one way or another.

When I'm done with their computer and they come to pick it up I do ask them what browser they prefer, what they want for their home page, most say huh??? The vast majority equate a browser to internet ... "I just want to use my internet".

Chrome is a pig, it eats resources and degrades performance.

Oh, and one other thing. Most of the computers I work on are still running XP. I get a few Vistas or Win 7s but 0 Win 8s or 10s. These people don't have the money to spend for a new computer.

 

It's still not your place to change/remove software from someones PC. Did they pay you to do that??

Keep in mind it's still not your PC.

 

*Eek*Shock*What*What*Doh

 

My top list..
1. Firefox.. Cyberfox
2. Chrome
3 Edge..

 

Maybe Firefox is OK on them old dogs it's a real decent browser anyway and Chrome does like memory and CPU cycles with lots of tabs open or just a few sometimes especially at page loading but maybe better communication and a check list at the early bird proximity drop space or walk in's would help?

do you at lest export an HTML bookmark file out of the browsers you remove so someone can configure an alternative browser to what they had ?
oh....and 32 bit Chrome is an option for those old dogs anyway but it likes resources also and when F/F starts running separate processes for each browsing tab like the others ...........Poof its suddenly a resource hog too! . *really

TBH hopefully your bench work is better than maybe it seems tour customer skills might be *really

 

I do not charge for my time, only for any parts I have to replace.

I run the computer repair and resale part or my church's thrift store. Donated computers are cleaned up, in most cases formatted and reinstalled and a minimal set of programs (my choice) installed then I sell them cheap, sometime give them away.

I've worked on several thousand computers over the last 11 years there and I cannot remember a single instance when one of these people complained because I removed Chrome or other software. They want a computer that works with reasonable response and that's what I give them.

For those that are a bit more savvy I'll work with them but I will still and always recommend removing all things Google. If they insist then I'll leave it but upgrade to the latest version.

 

"Chrome is a pig, it eats resources and degrades performance." --> I SO agree! I agree with your whole message. That last paragraph / sentence... Why don't they take advantage of the free upgrade offer from Windows 7 to Window 10? But those computers that have XP shouldn't be running, they should have been upgraded two years ago *Sad But that's fine if your work wants them, and has more vulnerability to security risks and hacks *Smile Then that's might fine with me *Wink

Btw, do you build computers for a living? How much do you get by the hour? I am wanting to start like a computer building business in the future for people, I just need to figure out where to price. *Smile

 

How U upgrade to windows 10 like 2 years ago .......all that must have slipped by me *sarc

OTOH a legitimate non profit can maybe get a local or federal or private industry sponsor /grant or maybe something out of Microsoft for these old dogs and OS upgrade product keys (at least ) out of XP or Vista *really

 

What do you mean? *Huh haha *Smile

 

Time travel??
