So many browsers to choose from...

But which one to use?

Currently there are a number of browsers available to use for internet access at the moment - which one would be best for you to use? The three main contenders currently are Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Well - IE is not really a contender - but it is still widely used - mainly because of legacy use or users just do not know of any other browsers.

Currently Google Chrome is the world's most popular internet browser - with 43% of Global Web Surfers choosing Chrome. 

Looking at the image below it is amazing to see what the numbers are for Africa - where we fall smack bang in range with the worldwide figures. Possibly because we are a rather new entrant into the internet world and the legacy use of Internet Explorer is not so prevalent. North America for instance has a larger percentage of users who still prefer using IE in comparison with the rest of the world.


 We can even bring those numbers closer to home. When we take a look at the number of OpenNetworks CRM users that are using the different browsers the numbers look as follows: 



So the proof is in the pudding - or in the numbers rather! OpenNetworks users are most definitely ahead of the curve with the majority using Chrome to access their Google Apps and OpenNetworks CRM. But what are the differences between the browsers - and why is Chrome recommended above the others? We will take a look at that in another blog article as well.
