The Battle of Browsers is over! Until the new versions are released, here is the absolute champion. Sound the drums, ladies and gentleman, the indisputable winner of the heavy-browser category is... Firefox!

Of the 912 votes, 58.99% were given to the open source browser, which has crushed any competition.

Internet
Explorer came on the second place, but the difference between it and the winner was humongous. Only 14.91% of the voters have chosen Microsoft's solution as their favorite.

The 1.000 votes do not represent a final conclusion, but when it comes to popularity, Firefox definitely has an edge over Internet Explorer.

Even if you add the IE clones' 4.61 percent to Internet Explorer's percentage, you will get only 19.52%, which is a small figure compared to Firefox's.

Opera took the third place, with only 2% behind Internet Explorer. Safari, the Mac community's browser took 4.93%, while Mozilla was voted by only 3.18% of the users.

Netscape got only 0.88% of the votes.

What a great demographic...

1000's users who are all software junkies...go figure...59%...


Software junkies who arent very lazy use FireFox.
Lazy people who don't care about anything, let alone what browser installed, use Internet Explorer
Really lazy people who are impatient use Opera.

I fall into category three.
I used to be in category 2, until my IE6 broke on account of rain...rainfall from IE7 beta 2. Then I tried Opera and use it more nowadays.
