I am my own favorite production end user and I use firefox.
Do you think those numbers have anything to do with the fact that there's an encroaching browser monoculture right now, hearkening back to the IE6 days?

- detritus 6y agoIf memory serves, IE5.5 was actually a belter of a release and came at a point that Netscape Navigator (*spit!) was beginning to really cause trouble. Still didn't mean I'd've been happy with a monoculture, no matter how swear-inducing things got. Strange for me to think al these years later that my beloved Firefox came from the ashes of Netscape!
- pmontra 6y agoI have memories of a Microsoft evangelist in the 90s. He told us "IE4 is good but everybody uses Netscape." IE4 wasn't that good IMHO, IE5 was probably better than Netscape (the company was starting to collapse) and IE6 was the better browser by far, until it stagnated and Firefox appeared.
