Not notable?[edit]

I didn't create this page, and don't currently have the time to expand it, but the malicious tactics used by the browser is notable enough to get 25% of china's internet using population to use it. http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-CN-monthly-201201-201301 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomizer3 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Dec. 5, 2014[edit]

I removed the statement that the browser's usage share was in the 2-7% range in Jan. 2011, as StatCounter didn't detect the browser correctly then. http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-browser-CN-weekly-201218-201237 shows, that StatCounter began detecting the browser correctly on July 1, 2012. I removed the statement, that as of November 2014, the 360 Secure Browser was the fifth most popular browser in the United States. The reason is, that Opera was the fifth most popular browser in the U.S. in November 2014.^[1] The 360 Safe Browser was the fifth most popular browser in the U.S. between May 2013 and October 2014.^[2] --K1812 (talk) 10:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Repeating one source and ignoring another is not an improvement. TEDickey (talk) 10:23, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No identifiable user-agent[edit]

As far as I am aware, this browser doesn't have identifiable user-agent, this might be why the numbers are off. Also you cannot download Chrome in China, so some of the Chrome numbers might be because browsers like this one masquerading as Chrome. --Voidvector (talk) 23:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading to call it an ”independant report”[edit]

I had a look at the source. It belongs to IDF which literally any private hobbyist can publish a report without needing proof. It’s basically like zenodo but for community for It hobbyists. The issue is whether such a report is verified or peer-reviewed otherwise it could just an unprofessional smear campaign yet promoted as a professional regulated body doing an investigation, when that is not the case. I think the section needs to be clarified on who actually makes that independent study and what proof. Otherwise it is misleading to readers unfamiliar with idf, which even I can publish without need of some evidence or concrete proof49.180.148.101 (talk) 23:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

360 Extreme Explorer[edit]

It is a browser made by the same company. Several Windows XP related sites have confirmed its compatibility and is linked on many sources. 94.175.6.205 (talk) 14:18, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So cite those third party sources and either add a section on it here in this article if it is a version of this subject, or, if it is a different product, then start a new article on it, but you can't just drop it here with no sources, see WP:PROVEIT. - Ahunt (talk) 14:30, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

MSFN MSFN is comsidered a reliable source when it comes to vintage computing as many specialst experts post there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.175.6.205 (talk) 14:28, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Forums are not acceptable sources, see WP:SPS. - Ahunt (talk) 14:31, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MSFN is cited in several Wikipedia articles as it’s not just a regular forum but a place where many experts also develop software. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.175.6.205 (talk) 14:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That forum you cited is a just a general discussion by some anonymous users. There is nothing that can be cited there. If this new browser is notable it will have been written about in the tech press and those articles can be cited. If it has only been mentioned on forums then it is not notable enough for inclusion here. - Ahunt (talk) 15:49, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
