    Is IE really an extendable platform? It doesn't exactly have a friendly firefox-like plugin architecture. I don't think anyone in their right mind would want yet another "toolbar" to come out. Clearly that market is saturated, despite what Netcraft may think. Some have taken to extending the browser with its built-in, fundamental functionality. You can achieve some interesting results. Other than this type of site, I don't see how IE will continue to grow without further work from MS themselves.

  2. Impressive by uf22 · · Score: 1 · on Firefox New York Times Ad Hits the Presses

    The spread of Firefox has really impressed me. I think it will only continue to grow, but I'm not sure if the ad will have too much effect. The biggest growth will come from those 11 million people telling their friends and family to give it a try.

    I have been recently trying to promote my own new site breasy.com(coincidentally something of a Firefox competitor) and I am learning how difficult it is to get the word out about a new piece of software, even if it is extremely useful and free! So, I am impressed even more by the quick spread of firefox. I have also noticed in my site's logs that IE is only used about 80% of the time. I think its share is definitely decreasing.

  3. Portable bookmarks by uf22 · · Score: 3, Interesting · on How to Build a Better Browser

    The problem with bookmarks is that they are tied down to one computer! I have to maintain two different lists at work and at home. Not to mention when I'm over at a friend's house and I'm trying to remember the url for one of them. I've found breasy.com to be a good solution. Could this be done in a Firefox plugin somehow? I suppose you need a central db to make it happen. Will the tinfoil hat crowd shy away from this?

    I've had similar issues. Every now and then it takes up 99% of my cpu and hangs the machine.

    I've gone back to using IE with Breasy

    When in IE, at least you don't have to live without tabbed browsing anymore. http://breasy.com

    Well, it does look like someone managed to give IE tabbed browsing... see: http://breasy.com

    I wonder if this will make any impact in this little game?

    #1) Help your average user understand the value of tabbed browsing. This is really the best feature of an alternative browser. Most people will be perfectly happy with IE's sp2 popup blocking and google's desktop search. The key is the tabs. It helps to show them what tabbed browsing is like. I point people to breasy.com so that they can play around with the idea of tabbed browsing without downloading a whole new browser.
