MacDailyNews Note: As always, the actual percentage numbers are not as important as the trends shown since all “market share” reports have unique measurement sources. Net Applications, for example measures 40,000 corporate and ecommerce websites — how many of which are restricted to WIndows and/or IE, if any, we do not know. Again, what’s important is the trend (and consistent data points). The trend shows Apple’s Safari ascending.
“Can you say: lost customer???”
Sure, pity for Apple, but at least she can load Windows on that new Mac and get Snapfish working again..
OK, the MSFirefox site is a hoax and the Firefox site still claims to be owned by Mozilla. The Mozilla site claims to be a “community project”, “open source”, and governed by “Creative Commons”.
So.
How about citing a “source” that can be trusted?
I’m not precisely calling anyone a liar, here. Just expressing my extreme cynicism regarding this “fact”.
nekogami13, my version of Safari – and I’ve had them all – has THREE choices regarding cookies. “Only to sites you navigate to” has been my choice for years. Sure, it would be nice to be able to block certain cookie-requests … for that 0.1% of users who both know and care about such things. “Private Browsing” takes care of most of that, though, so why bother!
