Firefox

take a look at this:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/04/Web_browser_usage_share.svg

Does this data include firefox portable?

And also look at this:

One billion downloads... Does that data also include firefox portable?

Yes and No

The browser usage share does include Firefox Portable as we keep the useragent set to standard Firefox.

The downloads does not, it only counts downloads from Mozilla directory. If it did, you could take on another 10 million.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Why doesn't Mozzilla add it? FFP is supported isn't it?

I also found this:

But I'm sure you already know about it.

The US vs. Microsoft antitrust case was over 10 years ago. I don't think you could find anyone into tech who doesn't know about it.

What I never understood was why Microsoft needed to shut Netscape and others out. IE came with and was integrated with Windows, and Netscape and others could be installed in Windows. The other browser companies should have been glad Microsoft let end-users install their software in their OS in the first place. Cell phones don't let you install software. Xboxes and PlayStations don't let you install software (unless you mod them). A computer's the only device, it seems (though there may, technically, be others) that lets you install software not approved by the manufacturer. Since the rise in popularity of the computer, several devices came out that did not have this freedom. And I don't see anybody suing them.

...thats why i said "I'm sure

...thats why i said "I'm sure you know about it"

I hadn't even started kindergarten when that happened, and i'm "into tech".

And now that I think about it, there really isn't anything you can install software to except for the computer.

But what about the iPhone? you can install apps to it. But then again those apps have to be approved by Apple. I don't know if you could call that made by Apple if someone else made it but Apple still made it available for the iPhone? Ahhh! I confused myself >_

my cellphone and many others ...

can install apps, not just Iphone. Like my Sprint Lotus, I can download apps from Sprint.com or grab their analogues/copies/cracked versions from other sources and upload them using a mobile uploader.
Though the cellphone is coming closer & closer to becoming a computer-like in functionality.

Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
