STOP! It is not this kind of war...

| What??? Then what kind of war??? |
What I am trying to share out with you guys are not all the above types of war... Civil war or cold war or what ever war... It is,
In some ways, the "winner" of the top desktop browser wars doesn't really matter. As end users, as long as we have a choice of Web Browser, we can pick the one whose interface works for us. But browser numbers matter a lot more when you're a software developer trying to understand who's most likely to use your Web application – or to complain about it not working right. That's especially true, too, when you support business users inside a company, since there's just so many desktop configurations any sane system admin can maintain.
Web Browser War!!!

That's especially true, too, when you support business users inside a company, since there's just so many desktop configurations any sane system admin can maintain.
Which makes these two competing desktop Web browser market share reports all the more confounding.
If you buy Net Market Share's desktop Web browser numbers, then in December 2012 Internet Explorer (IE) was still in first with 55% of the market with Firefox leading Google Chrome 20% to 18% for second place. But, if you put your faith in StatCounter's browser statistics, then Chrome ended 2012 as the top browser with 36% and IE is number two, 31%, with Firefox lagging behind at 22%. What's going on here? /sweat
First, while both companies have the same general goal (measuring Web browser popularity), they use different methodologies. Ultimately, they're not really measuring the same thing, or even trying to do so. Net Applications, Net Market Share's parent company, is more interested in counting unique visitors' Web browser hits, while StatCounter looks at raw browser hits.
Google, of course, thinks Chrome is the the top dog Web browser and Microsoft, needless to say, believes IE is king of the mountain. /wahaha
The whole question of which desktop Web browser is on top may seem a little old hat, but I think it's more important than ever Wewb Web applications are starting to become browser specific. For example, Google no longer supports Google Apps on IE 8—the newest version of IE that will run on Windows XP. So, if you run both XP and Google Apps, Chrome has become your default choice. Conversely, you can't run Chrome at all on Windows RT.
So it is that I think the desktop Web browser wars won't be cooling down at all. Indeed, I think they'll heat up more than ever. /nobigdealThen, as I do enjoy surfing internet through my lovely Grome (my cute nickname for Google Chrome), I found this hilarious and made me burst laugh out loud which made my neighbours knocking our doors in 3 am for the noise. Sorry Mr. Neighbour... /blush
