Browser Quotations

We found a way to make things look great to the human eye through the window of a graphical web browser without worrying about what everything looked like under the hood.

Yes, iD is a machine vision and sensor browser for the physical world. That's what we have been working on with Coca-Cola, Verizon, Bank of America and Disney to launch content when an image is recognised.

When people think of Mozilla, they generally think of the browser, but Mozilla is really much more than that. Mozilla is of interest to people who want an end-user application like our browser that's not tied directly into the Windows platform.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

AIR grew out of our early thinking about rich Internet applications around 2001. We started to see web developers pushing the boundaries of what could be done inside the browser and taking advantage of Flash in ways that we hadn't expected.

Talking about Apple v. Microsoft without mentioning the Internet and the browser is like talking about WWII without talking about the nuke. Framing the conversation just in terms of open v. closed operating systems, the quality of the hardware or software or who the CEO was, is silly.

Think of Internet on the TV like the Web browser. The amount of time you spend on the PC in the browser is just going to grow continuously.

Using the HTTP protocol, computer scientists around the world began making the Internet easier to navigate by inventing point-and-click browsers. One browser in particular, called Mosaic, created in 1993 at the University of Illinois, would help popularize the Web, and therefore the Net, as no software tool had yet done.

The Internet browser is the most susceptible to viruses. The browser is naive about downloading and executing software. Google is trying to help by releasing the Chrome browser as open source.

Netscape will have to spend more and do more to catch up ... But they still have 60 percent of the browser market share.

Netscape won't do some things that Internet Explorer will do, ... But then, IE 7 is sort of a step back, so you just really need to view a page on more than one browser before you approve it.

Much like the browser was in 1995 before Microsoft declared war, Office has the very real potential to be a cross-platform middleware threat to the dominance of the Windows monopoly,

Many thought it was a fool's errand - that the browser companies were never going to listen to us. Others argued that, 'Users don't care if you use Web standards.' Well, of course they don't. They just know that your site works better.

Many of today's popular mobile business applications are closed-off client-server type products, but Mini shows how companies will also be able to take a different tack in offering wireless Web tools. Whether it is creating their own version of the browser for a specific use or building less proprietary applications that can be accessed via any browser, there's no need for them to build their own interface anymore.

Security is a critical issue for all browsers. Microsoft incorporates security concerns into the design phase on all of its products, and with Internet Explorer 7, we paid particular attention to addressing not only known threats but also creating a foundation that is capable of adapting to protect users from new attacks in the future. Make no mistake, Internet Explorer 7 is a more secure browser from the foundation on up.

I expect there will be a significant increase in people using browser services,

I don't believe that the current standard in user interface is 'how it should be,' and I've got a school full of college students that agree with me. Web browsers look alike because Web browser interface design has been evolving for a long time, that's not the case with media players. There's plenty of room for improvement and Puma hopes to address those design issues.

Imagine walking through the park and aiming your camera phone at a data tag on a statue. It directs your phone's browser to a Web page about a historic building that used to stand there, or a concert that played there last summer, complete with video clips.

Our positions are solidifying, ... Our objective and our paramount goal really is to stop the anti-competitive practice that restrains consumers' choices, whether it is requiring the browser be purchased and be incorporated into the Windows product, or restraints on the Internet service providers and content providers.

Maybe in the past when we said 'everywhere' we didn't really mean everywhere. Now we really mean it. We want to support the widest breadth of scenarios from the browser to the desktop.

I went to the Big Island of Hawaii and sat in a house on a point by the ocean. I thought about some of the amazing things I had seen recently in the industry. Two of the most spectacular were the emergence of the browser 18 months before, and Amazon.com.

It is another example of the energy that has returned to the browser marker.

Our biggest demographic is the intelligent professional. They've got a computer on their desk, they've got a web browser and they check us out. We are many people's morning cup of coffee.

Those contracts were entered into when Microsoft had single-digit usage figures for browser software. Microsoft's contracts are not only completely unobjectionable, but pro-competitive because it reduced Netscape's dominance and gave consumers more choice.

We're using our extension space as a virtual research and development effort to test out new capabilities for the browser before they are incorporated.

Microsoft is still not coming to grips with what its own people were saying -- about their ability to set prices, their position in the browser market, and whether the browser was a separate product -- when these things were occurring,

Microsoft's P3P is not the full-blown P3P, ... Most of us thought that P3P would die. The fact that it is here and it is baked into the IE 6 browser -- I think that Microsoft should be applauded for being bold.

Microsoft giving away its browser is a huge, huge problem, one that is extremely difficult for Netscape to overcome, ... I think the stock is overvalued, even at these prices.

We're blending speech recognition with Web browsers, so you can talk into the Web browser and get information back.

Well, if you're winning browser share, that must mean that some other company is producing browsers and you're comparing your share of browsers with somebody else's share of browsers, ... Is that not so, sir?

We have stamped the Netscape issue into the ground. We are not selling Netscape advertising around its browser or otherwise. Let's move on.

The fact that Internet Explorer is so widely deployed makes it a prime target. This, combined with the 'social engineering' aspect of these attacks -- tricking the users into installing or clicking on something they shouldn't -- means the browser will continue to be a focal point of attack.

Yahoo Go allows us to free the best of what the Internet has to offer from the confines of the browser and provides consumers fast and easy access to the essential products and services they know and love.

Traders have always loved our Market Toolbox Newsletter and Radio Show. Now the Desktop Portal lets them have the best financial content all in one easy-to-use tabbed browser interface.

We're trying to jump-start the mobile Internet revolution, and our trials with users show us that when people download the browser they begin using the Web on their handsets more frequently. The biggest obstacle in growing use of the mobile Web to this point is the inability of other browsers to convert sites into something people are willing to look at, and that's what we believe the browser does best.

We're tired of the endless betas. AJAX lets us do things in the Web browser that you'd historically expect only from a desktop application.

There have been in the past, and there will be going forward, concerns about the effects of major sporting events on worker productivity. Workplaces, however, should consider that many of these same workers could just as well be taking long lunches, or repeatedly refreshing browser windows to see new scores. So while video is certainly not adding to worker productivity, the jury is still out on its negative effects.

At the interoperability session, we will be showing a browser helper object that works with Microsoft Explorer as a plug-in.

I've disabled my Web browser until we are able to decide what we want to do. What do we want our policy to be?

And what was Netscape's share of the browser market at the end of June 1997?

It was AOL's objective to have both Navigator and Internet Explorer available to its members, allowing them to choose which browser to use, ... Microsoft, on the other hand, attempted to secure exclusive distribution and promotion for Internet Explorer, with no or few exceptions for distribution or promotion of a competitive browser.

The Opera folks are betting their browser has reached a threshold of popularity where they can unshackle it from the fees. This clearly is a volume play that could pay off if enough people use the browser. Opera would be able to drive revenue through affiliate relationships, for example.

Browsing is a secondary feature that is very important on today's modern devices, but no one wants to spend the time and effort to reinvent the browsing experience when there are already great solutions on the market, ... Nokia is using a best-of-breed browser without the expense of having to build it all themselves.

Some people might speculate that Opera couldn't compete by charging when AOL, Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla and most other browser developers give away software for free. Not so. Just the opposite is true,

They (the government) are clearly trying to lay the foundation not only for the browser market but also to allege a pattern of anticompetitive behavior by Microsoft against a whole series of competitors, not just Netscape.

Encrypting browser traffic prevents WAN optimization controllers from performing their optimization functions. When selecting a WOC vendor, it is important to understand their strategy for dealing with encrypted traffic like SSL.

There's money to be made off browsers, in part because of search. The browser may be a giveaway, but it's a freebee people use to access content they are willing to pay for or advertisers are willing to subsidize.

There are a number of ways Opera can make money off the browser, but all that requires volume. Removing the price tag and the banner ads increases the likelihood that more people will use the browser. More eyeballs means more revenue off the browser without charging for or putting banner ads in people's faces.

Your real objection is that they put the browser in the operating system -- you want it out, right?

This is really about choice. More choice allows people to select the best browser for their needs. It also gives them an alternative to OS-bundled browsers.

The Internet browser and other added functionality ... will further enhance the user experience beyond the unprecedented portable entertainment already provided by PSP.

In the ASP model as well, hospitals enjoy the full functionality of Visage PACS. Data access is on demand via a browser and is in real time. In this way, doctors can store their image data in a distributed or central approach without losing time, and use it for interpretation.

In terms of people taking advantage of the Internet, I think we can talk about this generation of browser essentially as about the equivalence of DOS.

It helps you identify that certain browser types are seeing the same conditions or whether forms are truncated or not displayed. I can save off a session and send a link to a development group for further problem recreation.

Internet Explorer is not a stand-alone browser because the relevant integration occurred at the design stage. Internet Explorer is an integral feature (of Windows '95), like a shutter in a camera or a transmission in a car.

Internet services are ingrained in Windows 2000 from the ground up: The integrated browser and Web server, XML, Active Server Page support, transaction support -- from soup to nuts, client and server.

The motive behind limiting what browser you develop for is laziness. If you develop Web applications, you must develop to the W3C standards. You do not use Microsoft's proprietary capabilities because you'll get caught in it later.

You were concerned that if you presented users with a choice, side by side, they would pick the Netscape browser rather than yours?

The Court concluded that Microsoft violated the antitrust laws by abusing its monopoly power and attempting to monopolize the internet browser market. This sets the ground rules for enforcement in the information age.

You will see more integration of AOL content and services within the browser toolbar. You may see, for instance, an Instant Messenger button within Navigator. But Microsoft will be doing the same thing, integrating its portal content into its browser. I don't see this deal greatly improving Navigator's market share.

The high level, from our perspective, is that it's hard to make any sort of apples-to-apples comparison. But we believe our process works and we are the safest browser around.

The code core of the 2001 browser upgrade campaign was the first instance of capability detection in place of browser detection.

we didn't mean browser share, we meant browser usage.

I heard some hisses. Au contraire. I think it's the best browser on the platform.

Apple has decided to make Internet Explorer its default browser. We believe Internet Explorer is a really good browser. Internet Explorer is my browser of choice.
