Ask HN (Poll): What browser do you use?

Posted by paulitex on Friday October 08, 2010 @01:59PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Please indicate your primary desktop browser for personal use (not development).

The recent news of IE dipping below 50% market share globally was quite popular (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1759693). However it's at least as important to get a sense of where the market is going as where it is now. The HN crowd is a pretty good sample of internet trendsetters - I would think that the distribution of browser usage among HN users more closely reflects the global distribution 2 years from now than it does today. Please help us peak into the future by voting for your primary personal browser.

For browsers not on this list, leave a comment to be upvoted.

I don't know that technologists really indicate what the general populace will do; they tend to try new things less often and will continue to use the same product long after it's life expectancy.

I use the latest beta of Chrome.

Aside from Chrome 6, Opera 10 and Firefox 3, I use Flock on a regular basis. If you count testing, then I use Safari 3, 4 and Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 as well.
