Safari has been unable to dent the popularity of Mozilla Firefox
The release of the Safari web browsing software application coincided with a slight fall in the market share of the Firefox web browser. This was sufficient for the critics of the Firefox web browsing software application to proclaim that the combination of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application and the Safari web browsing software application was sufficient to defeat the Firefox web browser. However, the Firefox web browsing software application has shaken off the slump and has gained market share in the recent months. As on date, the market share of the Firefox web browsing software application is at an all time high.
Further, the market share of the Safari web browsing software application is also at an all time high. Both the web browsing software applications have attracted the end users of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application. The market share of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application has witnessed a fall. Now, the combined rise in the market share of the Firefox web browsing software application and the Safari web browsing software application is contrary to the predictions of the critics of the Firefox web browsing software application.
When the Safari web browsing software application was released, the critics of the Firefox web browsing software application claimed that the web browser market will be dominated by just two web browsers-the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application and the Apple’s Safari web browsing software application. Even the developers of the Safari web browsing software application projected that the market share of the Internet Explorer web browser will remain the same while the market share of the Safari web browsing software application will grow at the cost of the Firefox web browser and all other web browsing software applications.
Now, the ground reality is completely the opposite. It is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer that is losing ground. It is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer that is the facing the crisis. This is proof that the Firefox web browsing software applications still retains its popularity amongst the surfers. Considering the fact that the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application are putting in efforts to ensure that more and more end users stick to the Firefox web browsing software application after downloading the setup file, there is no doubt that the total number of end users of the Firefox web browsers must have witnessed an increase.
It is obvious that the end users of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application are unsatisfied with its performance. Despite the release of version 7.0, the market share of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application has not shown any signs of reclaiming its old dominance. Further, the developers of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application have been forced to speed work on the next version of Internet Explorer. No longer can the developers afford to wait for years together before releasing a major version upgrade.
Now, the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application will have to match the trend set by the Firefox web browsing software application. Considering the large number of flaws and security loopholes present in the Internet Explorer web browsing software applications, releasing a major version upgrade every year will not be an easy task. On the other hand, the developers of the Mozilla Firefox web browsing software application will not find this task very difficult because the Firefox web browser is a lot better than all other web browsing software applications. Despite being built out of the contributions of hundreds of programmers all over the world, the Firefox web browsing software application is far better than other web browsers.
