    Is it just me, or has Firefox become an outcast?

      Why not? Firefox has had them since the beginning. Chrome has as well. Allowing the world to develop for your platform, and make add-ins/extensions that improve useability, among other things, is essential. Microsoft missed the band wagon, and STILL hasn't realized it.

        @ajstringham Actually IE has many add-ons http://www.iegallery.com/

        They have less than 1000. That's pathetic.

          What we really need to do is define browser. Because Chrome is more than a browser. Its a mini OS

            I wouldn't say Chrome is a mini OS. How do you figure that?

              You could literally live off just Chrome in Windows for the majority of your tasks

                It's a browser. Yeah, Google has Google Docs and the like, but those are all web applications that can be used in any browser. Most of what we do nowadays is in a browser, so that's not really an accurate statement.

                    Never used a Chromebook or Chromium, no.

                      I use both all day. Just not IE.

                      I think FF suffers from sharing an audience with chrome. IE has its own user base.

                        McAfee still has all their company-issued laptops on IE8! We don't have admin rights either...

                          OK IE 8 is more than a little dated.. but I completely understand the lack of local admin rights, why do you need it for your day to day job?

                            Sure, but everything I see these days are Chrome or IE. Vendors are now starting to develop specifically for Chrome (in my case IE and Chrome - well and that apple browser too).

                              Yeah it is. As far as rights go, we don't really. We have a box we're given that we're allowed to run any OS we want on and have full rights on. That's our play/dev/admin box. The other has all the company-issued tools and monitors on it.

                                I have used a ChromeBook before, and yeah as far as the user interface is concerned - it is just the Chrome browser - but that doesn't mean that Chrome the browser that's install on my Windows machine is anything like the Chrome OS that runs on ChromeBooks.

                                That said - do you know... is the code essentially the same with a bootloader strapped on?

                                  So I post from the dev/admin machine, as that isn't really tracked. I work from the other. It's kind of a weird system but it makes sense.

                                      Of course you don't. What kind of a Mickey Mouse operation would have admin rights for end users?

                                        I think that every browser has its detractors. Everyone seems to hate at least one browser.

                                          I'm learning that McAfee is so much more than that. They all do, in the end, boil down to one form of security or another. However, McAfee the AV is just a tiny piece of the whole pie.

                                            IE8 was great...back when it was released for XP and stabilized IE. I see no reason we shouldn't AT LEAST be on IE9.
