Funny Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) Alpha Screenshot (Fake)
Some kind of Office 2007 GUI and … I don’t know. Just a fake screen.
I wonder if anyone thinks that it is a real one (I hope not).

I must say, someone got nice imagination ;-)
Mozilla Firefox & eBay – Firefox eBay Edition
I basically enjoy most of the steps which are being made by Mozilla company to promote Firefox. Their tactics is pretty impressive. This time they surelly will get VERY MUCH boost from eBay and their new product: Firefox eBay Edition.
It’s not just like: dear users, please spread the word… Nah, they are already getting support from one of the big guys (Google). Time for another one, right? While all other browsers expect IE (which is big enough) waiting for few percents increase, Mozilla thinks big. I can’t wait to see how much of the market share they will grab this month.

Opera’s Speed Dial
Recently I’ve heard that Opera’s Speed Dial is being copied not only by Firefox users, but also by other companies and just thought, why is this function so special? When I was surfing using Opera, I always had this function turned off, as I love clean browsing.
However, yesterday I’ve decided to try it. Guess what? Now it’s one of my favorite features. I don’t have to type, let’s say first letter in the address bar in order to see the site which I want to visit, now I am just click one click away from it. So it saves some time and I love it.
If you haven’t tried Speed Dial yet (or ignored it as I did), just give it a try, you may thank me latter.

2007 June Browsers Market Share Results
Time for one of my favorite topics, it’s a browsers market share.
You can find previous month (May) results here.
OK, Internet Explorer, it actually surprised me, I didn’t exptected its growth this month. Gained from 78.67% to 78.84% (0.17% increase).
In the previous month, Firefox lost some market share, however, this month it’s 0.01% higher. Gained from 14.54% to 14.55% (0.01% increase). Maybe will increase it more in this month, we will see.
As expected, Safari lost more than a small amount of market share, maybe will get better after Safari 3 final release. From 4.82% to 4.49% (0.33% decrease).
Althought Opera lost 0.02% of its market share last month, it doesn’t matter now, they have increased market share from 0.74% to 0.91% (0.17% increase). And as I can see, it is the highest market share ever in this year.
As Safari, Netscape also lost some market share. From 0.83% to 0.78% (0.05% decrease).
Opera Mini got nice amount of attention in the June, so not a big surprise, they have increased market share from 0.16% to 0.21% (0.05% increase).
Here’s a graph of current browsers market share. Thanks to HitsLink.
