Good riddance -- that screen was nothing more than a historic artifact at this point.
With Microsoft's monopoly on web-enabled devices finally broken by Android/iOS, not to mention the emergence of Chrome on Windows desktops, IE-dominance has finally more or less ended[1].

- gulbrandr 12y agoIE-dominance has finally more or less ended ... in favor of a Google/Chrome-dominance. Not much of a victory for the end user.
- FreakyT 12y agoDid you even look at the browser stats link I posted? No browser has a majority usage share anymore.
- CmonDev 12y agoDo you mean the huge green Chrome bar?
- ewzimm 12y agoThe size of the bar doesn't represent usage. If you hover over, for example, Chrome 39, you will see it has 0.13% of global usage.
- mbrubeck 12y agoIf you click the "Usage relative" button, then the bars do resize to reflect usage. The numbers here are based on StatCounter measurements, which show Chrome with a 42% page view share (about 3 times higher than the next most popular browser): http://gs.statcounter.com/#all-browser-ww-monthly-201311-201411 http://gs.statcounter.com/#all-browser-ww-monthly-201311-201...
- Retra 12y agoAs far as I can tell, most Chrome users are aware of Firefox, IE, or Safari though. So the victory of Chrome isn't manipulative and exploitative -- the browser-wars culture is very different these days. People _choose_ Chrome for the most part. There is nothing wrong with offering a product that everyone wants to use. That's how Google became big in the first place.
