So just when you thought the evil empire of IE, Internet Explorer, had conquered the browser market come a whole slew of new and improved browsers. The non IE browsers are not just showing up they are taking market share. Over all IE has only 70% to date, About six months ago they had about 75% of the browser market. The competition is is not only growing it is diversifying beyond just an Internet browsers. From Mozilla Firefox’s varied plug-ins to the kids on the block, Google Chrome and Flock, which seams to be an all encompassing social media machine in its own. Some others like Safari and Opera have not changed much but are still chipping away at IE’s Base, while Netscape is about to bite the dust, if it already hasn’t. So what makes all these so special? Well your usage and likes of course. I have all 5 in my try, except IE, I have a mac and they stop supporting that about three years ago, OOPPPs, big mistake.

Most of these browsers have shared features, tabbed browsing, tagging, bookmarks, Rss Readers. But two really set them selves apart with a few functions

Chrome for instance, or cross over chrome for mac, keep the whole platform from crashing is you get an error, it just kills that tab not the whole browser, very handy. It also creates thumbnails of the sites you like the most.

Fire fox has a great SEO plug in if you into that gives you specific data on your search results, like PR, Age, Alexia Rating and such
Flock on the other hand has tied all the social media devises into its browser. You can even blog and drag and drop pics into you blog post straight from the web. In fact this post is being created with Flock blogging app. We see how it turns out, No spell check thought so until they have that, I should just log in to my back end.
