As far as I know, Internet Explorer still dominates the browser market.  The W3 counter of 25k websites for May shows that IE accounted for ~58% of browsers out there. But of that 58%, only ~2% is coming from IE 8.0. To promote their newest version of browser, Microsoft has partnered with Feeding America. For every browser download from www.browserforthebetter.com, Microsoft will donate 8 meals to help alleviate hunger.

I’ve been a Firefox user for some time now, and I spend enough time with techies to not want to dabble back into IE. But I will at least download IE 8, because this is microphilanthropy at its best. One click to generate 8 wholesome meals? Awesome. The charitable donation is only good for downloads up till August 8th so don’t wait too long!
