Now community based software testing outfit uTest has launched a Battle of the Browsers competition, not to find out which is the best but rather which has the most bugs. Running from November 5th until 12th, the competition has already got off to a good start. In just the first 12 hours, more than 500 entrants have uncovered a total of 248 new and previously unreported bugs in the three browsers. Unsurprisingly, Google Chrome leads the bug list of shame at this point. 192 testers have already discovered an astonishing 120 bugs, and remember these have to be new, unknown and the first to be submitted related to any particular subject.
