<<Internet Explorer can make your computer unsafe.
Why not switch to a browser that's more secure?
Many already have>>

Coincidentally they all seem to have switched to Firefox, although there is Mozila, Opera and Safari listed under "View all browsers".

It's not a new browser it's a site advising you not to use IE.

What new browser?

The first screenshot shows Google Toolbar, not a browser. And browsehappy.com is not a browser either, it's an action that promotes alternative browsers like Firefox or Opera.

It's not a browser... Just an anti-IE site.
You will see that in WordPress if you are on IE.

oops, after I clicked on "View all people" I found that David Catherall didn't switch to firefox, He switched to Opera, still thats 8:1 and there's no one who switched to Mozilla or Safari.

Mrrix32: That is probably about right though ratio wise. With roughly 10% of people using Firefox and Opera being much more like 1%.

It's old official Firefox logo. You could find it from the very beginning on spredfirefox.com. Google AdSense uses different logos, because it promotes Firefox with Google Toolbar.
