For the past three years, security company Sophos has been asking readers of their website to answer the question: “Which program browsing do you trust?”
Every October the company publishes the results of the poll. The winner of the 2015 poll (as well as the previous two years) is Firefox with a percentage of 41% from 3928 votes.
According to Sophos, second on the list is Google's Chrome with 21%. Followed by Opera with 16%, and safari with 8%, replicating the results of the previous years poll.
Other browsers present in the results, but with very small percentages, include Tor with 6%, the Internet Explorer with 3%, and Microsoft Edge, both with 2%.
However, it is curious that Tor, the browser made famous by Edward Snowden, is one of the latest in users' preferences.
Να αναφέρουμε ότι η δημοσκόπηση δεν είναι με κανένα τρόπο ενδεικτική του πόσο δημοφιλείς είναι οι browsers και το Trust Gap στον πίνακα που ακολουθεί δείχνει ότι πολλοί χρήστες επισκεφθήκαν τη σελίδα δημοσκόπησης με ένα πρόγραμμα περιήγησης και ψήφισαν άλλο.
As you can see, Chrome, the browser most widely used in the world, according to all browser usage statistics, has not yet conquered its users' hearts.
According to the data, Chrome has a gap of -19,6% (meaning browser confidence), meaning that of the 40.78% of the users who voted in the poll using Chrome, 19,6% of them voted another browser.
Perhaps this is what we expected more from Internet Explorer users, and less about Chrome. The simplest explanation is that Chrome has been developed by Google, a company that does not trust the Internet audience so much.
