Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
There's Maxthon,
which uses the Internet Explorer 7 engine but is a very capable browser
nevertheless, offering many more features than stock standard IE7.
If you're an IE7 user, and wish you could improve it, why not try the free IE7 Pro
add on - it lets you easily open accidentally closed tabs, it remembers
which sites you were browsing should IE7 crash, it can block ads and
can do plenty more.
The old 'Netscape Navigator' is still available,
now in version 9, but as it is really little more than a re-skinned
version of Firefox 2, and has now been officially discontinued (despite
its ongoing downloadability), it's best just to stick with Firefox,
unless you're particularly nostalgic.
You could also try the Slim Browser, last updated in late 2007, and claiming to be the best 'tabbed browser'.
Another browser with a very small market share is the Avant Browser, which still claims to be the fastest on earth, although Firefox and Safari would certainly beg to differ.
The final interesting browser is called Flock.
Based on Firefox, it's billed as the perfect browser for those who love
social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and many others.
Mac users are really best served by either Safari or Firefox, with any
other browsers out there not really rating at all, although the old
(but now discontinued) Internet Explorer for Mac still gets sporadic
use on some (likely older) Macs. Linux users also have a few choices too, although I'd wager (not being a big Linux user as yet) that Firefox is still one of the more popular Linux browsers.
So, there's still plenty of choice in the world of browsers, although
IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera are the main four browsers fighting it
out for dominance on the world wide web!
