As we know web browsers are a necessity for us to browse the world wide web and web browser isn’t just a software which was once created and we have been using that same application today. Like technology, it has evolved from time to time, and there are a few big companies who are constantly participating and struggling in the browser’s war. This infographic shows us the perfect comparison over different web browsers from 1994 to 2011. Some of these browsers perished with time while some are still competing.
Internet Explorer 9 is the hot news now a days for all internet users, specially designers, developers etc. who are browser conscious and have had a bad experience with IE 6. IE came a long way and there was a time when it was unbeatable in the browser wars, but its usage and market share starts dropping because of other more powerful browsers like Firefox, chrome etc. Now IE 9 is out and this infographic shows clear fact and figures that how IE reached form version 6 to version 9.
Obviously, it’s better late than never but Microsoft took almost a decade to realize the people’s complaint and express their sorrow about the buggy Internet Explorer 6. Although, they only addressed the web developers in their message which shows they don’t value their general users who are in millions as compare to developers. In the same message, they are also claiming that their upcoming IE9 is way better and everyone will like it. But at this stage, I want to say to Microsoft that It’s 2011 and with the better version of IE you would also need to give us some strong reasons to switch from Firefox or Google Chrome to Internet Explorer 9. Now it’s not that easy as it was in 2001 when you released Internet Explorer 6.
