Most of developers used to prefer only Mozilla Firefox for their personal and testing purpose, instead of using of using Microsoft internet explorer. The main reason was that people find it fast, secure and more customizable. Well after the security issue at Microsoft IE, its reputation was pretty disturbed. Even company accepted, Microsoft launched the security patch file as well to overcome that security flaw, but could not attain attentions of developer’s majority.

 Till then the browser war was between MS IE and Firefox only, but as usual google made his entry by introducing its fast and simple product, Chrome. In start lot of people hesitated to use chrome since they were not sure about privacy policy as lot of people use google account and google.com for their everyday use. So to them by adopting chrome as their primary user can help google to store their more information than ever before, like what site they use and where they spend their time online. But as MS IE 8 came in and it was not as fast as it was expected and new Firefox was also not that fast as people were expecting, so people started to move towards chrome as well, including me. And to my surprise after using it for few days I became its fan. It was really fast and simple browser. As normal people started to using chrome as their primary browser, so developers also had to adopt chrome as their testing browser.

Now according to a research Google chrome is at number 3 worldwide in browsers ranking.  Please share your comments and experiences about Chrome and others browsers’ issues
