Fun facts: Browser Trends and SFdc

June 18, 2008

Firefox 3 was released today, and I do hope those of you who chose to indulge did indulge, because it is smokin’ awesome.

I suppose to “celebrate” this, Jerry Sherman from the User Experience blog at Salesforce.com chose to take another look at Browser support for Salesforce. Why? Well with Firefox’s share of the browsing growing about 587% in the last year to control 14.1% of the total share, the question he raises is whether or not IE 6 is still up to the task. Jerry goes on to say that within the next year apps will start being released that will no longer be compatible with IE 6 as new UI enhancements will drag it too far into the future for that clunky old browser.

Out to pasture, old Maybelle. Here’s the official post.
