Browser war accelerated - Firefox 3, IE8, Chrome

People always say competition is a good thing. Looks like that's really the case with web browser. Remember the days where IE squeezed out Netscape, we are forced to rely solely on IE. There after, it came Mozilla with Firefox which "take back the web".

I have been using Firefox since version 1, till now, no regret. It is a piece of great work. The very recent firefox 3 even got a world record under belt. Compare to Firefox 3 vs IE7. Firefox is a clear choice. IE is too bloated, slow and more security problem. Although, browser like Opera, Safari are still in the game, the market share is still very small.

The entrance of Google might just change the game. They have come up with something new and relevant. They also got the marketing strategy right. That is to educate the user, what works behind the scene. Trying to get user to appreciate how good it is and cultivate the loyalty.

I just downloaded the Chrome browser, it looks pretty good and fast. Whether I would ditch my firefox remain to be seen. IE8 release is around the corner. Hopefully, as the competition intensified, we would get better user experience.
