Browser Wars: Mozilla Dev Slams Safari for Windows, Calling it Malware

How soon the bloom fades from the fruit. Apple’s controversial distribution method for delivering Safari 3.1 to Windows users is inciting flames of discontent among customers and critics alike, who now accuse the company of unfair practices. The problem stems from Apple’s iTunes Software Update client for Windows, which some claim dupes users into downloading the latest version of Safari by leaving the install option checked by default, whether the browser was previously installed or not, which users then mistake to be a necessary update rather than an option.

Not surprisingly, rivals are jumping on the Safari-gate bandwagon like hungry wolves feeding on a wounded fawn, with angry words flung like cannon balls. Mozilla Chief John Lilly has gone on the offensive, alleging that Apple’s software delivery method “borders on malware distribution practices. What Apple is doing now with their Apple Software Update on Windows is wrong.”

Harsh words. Next will come the accusation that Apple illegally ties its browser with the operating system. Sorry, Microsoft beat them to it.

Safari Gains Ground in Browser Wars

Apple’s (AAPL) Safari made the biggest gains in September among mainstream Web browsers, according to new research released today by Net Applications Inc.

Although Microsoft’s (MSFT) Internet Explorer still dominates the category, Safari’s market share rose nearly 7.7% for the month and now represents better than 5% of the traffic on the Internet. Firefox’s share rose slightly (2.15%) and now carries nearly 15% of the traffic. Explorer continued its slow fall, drifting down more than 1% for the month.

Net Applications samples browser data from visitors to a network of
some 40,000 websites around the world, a method that tends to
skew results toward computers that are heavily used and away from those
that are gathering dust.

The most impressive growth in the latest numbers was the nearly 17% jump in “other,” a category that includes such browsers as Opera, Netscape, Opera Mini, Mozilla, Danger Web Browser, Konqueror and PlayStation Portable Internet Browser.

The following table, derived from Net Applications’ research, summarizes their results. For more detail, you can go to their website here. For a report on their operating system numbers, see Mac Installed Base Hits 6.6% in September.
