Are users of other Web browsers smarter than the people who use
Microsoft's Internet Explorer?

A new survey doesn't quite say so. But it sure as heck suggests it.

The survey by AptiQuant, a Vancouver-based Web consulting company,
gave more than 100,000 participants an IQ test, while monitoring which
browser they used to take the test.

The result? Internet Explorer users scored lower than average, while
Chrome, Firefox and Safari users were slightly above average.

Of course the outcome of this survey should not be generalized
(nothing should), but it makes perfect sense. More intelligent people
tend to evaluate their options, while less intelligent people often
just use whatever is rammed down their throat. I bet that if they
singled out users based on their OS, the results would be in favor of
GNU/Linux and OSX users.
