It looks like Microsoft is attempting to revive interest in their browser -- by offering you a bunch of free stuff in exchange for using it.

A rather interesting infographic charts the history of web browsers, from the first instance of Netscape, through the rise of Internet Explorer and the crowded market of today.

Andrew Tait has put together another video, this time showing us the history of Internet Explorer from Windows 95 straight through Windows 7.

Firefox is a little heartbreaker. Just won’t let me shy away for too long without pulling me back in. I love my Chrome for doing certain things, but Firefox is the girl I keep coming back to time and time again. As for Internet Explorer? I’m just glad I went through that phase young and got her out of the ...

It’s funny cuz it’s true. I’m a Chrome user myself. Pretty much exclusively for the past six months or so. And while it’s very speedy, it does have some buggy issues. Particularly the Mac beta. But I’ll throw them a bone here and give ’em the old Gearfuse stamp of approval. Link

It’ll have an OLED touchscreen, HD radio tuner (big whoop) and will use a new Zune Marketplace for ...

Here’s something out of left-field that I don’t think anyone except the geniuses at Microsoft expected. In recent tests, it’s been revealed that Internet Explorer 8 uses twice the memory of Firefox. As if that wasn’t enough to blow your mind, get this shit: In a test involving IE8 Beta 2, IE7 and Firefox 3.0.1 10 rich media sites were ...

We would have been a little more excited if somebody else had leaked their software by mistake and allowed everybody to download for free, nonetheless we are slightly excited to learn that Microsoft Japan mistakenly put Internet Explorer 7 (Japanese version) on Windows Update this afternoon. The above screen cap was taken at 2:57 pm Tokyo time today. Some Japanese ...
