![]() ![]() Opera has however introduced its own extension engine recently.Ĭurrently a rumor makes the round that Facebook is interested in buying Opera Software which could offer new opportunities for the browser, but also alienate part of the browser's loyal following. Not all of them paned out as intended though, especially the widget engine lacked features when compared to Firefox extension engine. Opera itself is still seen by many as one of the most innovative browsers around, which can be attributed to technologies like Opera Turbo and other improvements that were introduced into the browser. One reason for not getting enough traction in the browser market is the lack of marketing resources that Google for instance made massive use of to push the Chrome browser into the market. Opera has been the underdog in the desktop browser niche for a very long time despite being around for more than 15 years. For Internet Explorer 9 it means that Windows XP users won't be able to install or upgrade to the browser, for Internet Explorer 10, it is Vista users who share the same fate. If there is one thing to criticize it is the beginning fragmentation of the browser, as Microsoft limits newer versions of the browser to the last two released operating system. Internet Explorer 10, which will come out later this year when the Windows 8 operating system gets released, will improve the browser further. IE9 is faster, supports a variety of newer technologies (could be better but still), and is a force to be reckoned with thanks to its integration into the Windows operating system. ![]() Internet Explorer 9 is a step in the right direction, especially when compared to previous versions of the browser. Internet Explorer has come a long way, and it appears that Microsoft is finally putting resources behind the web browser. Below you will find an overview of today's web browser landscape, and a list of lesser known alternatives that you may want to take a look at as well. ![]()
