Is Your Site Browser-Ready for the Holidays?
Does your site maintain its usability across many browsers? If not, you could end up leaving money on the table this holiday season. Browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (which comes standard on Macs) now make up about 30% of the browser market. Firefox alone enjoys 20% of the overall market share.
Matt Poepsel, vice president of Gomez, Inc., whose services test and monitor the performance of websites says that the increase of non-Internet Explorer browsers could cause some e-tailers grief.
"This year more than ever, websites can look and function differently from one browser to another. Online retailers can no longer assume that all shoppers are using Internet Explorer. They must ensure their sites look good and work well across a wide range of browsers - or risk frustrating customers and losing the sale."

A lot of people use IE than any of the other browsers. But we never know, Firefox may suddenly take the lead sooner or later. Web developers should look ahead on this issue, if not, their websites will normall be a mess to some browsers. I wonder if IE monopolizes the use of web browsers and get rid of the other browsers, but I think this will never happen.
