My OperaInternaut IQ update - October
Wednesday, November 2, 2011 5:37:35 PM
We are rapidly approaching my magic 40% figure of internauts using an unsafe browser to do their work on the Web.
Last month only a little over 42% were on the unsafe dark blue side while a little over 55% were using modern browsers. I consider this another milestone, though not nearly as big as when we can finally retire the IE6 band altogether. Chrome was the big gainer last month at ~1.5 points followed closely by IE9 with a full point. Everyone else had fairly lackluster progress, though we should also note that total IE usage finally dipped below 50% for the first time in history and will probably and thankfully never return to dominance again.
Microsoft launched YourBrowserMatters.org in partnership with IdentityTheftCouncil.org, OnlineTrustAlliance.org and APWG.org to educate internauts on threat potential of their browsing habits. The site checks your browser and gives back a safety score from 1 to 4 and guess what!
Only IE9 gets a perfect score, can you just imagine?
Needless to say there's a bit more discussion on this as well as Google's Dart vs JavaScript, HTML5 and a poll about paying for browsers in the "rest of the story" . . .
