Browser war. Microsoft taking a wierd step

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Just saw Microsoft new misguided browser comparison chart.

I'm speechless. I know they call it browser war. And in war, one of the best weapon is misinformation. But this is a very low blow, and from a company like Microsoft. It seems very desperate.

I use all 3 browsers on a daily basic. Chrome for surfing, and yeah it is the fastest. Firefox for webdevelopment (firebug, webdeveloper tools ect.). And IE for.. well for seeing if my webpages looks nice in IE.

I still believe IE is holding back the evolution of the web. There are so many things they could have added to IE8 (canvas, css3 etc.), but didn't.

I want to finish this rant with a humor link on how the chart should have looked:
