There have been studies conducted that suggest a surprising correlation between the choice of web browser and job effectiveness. According to these studies, individuals who tend to use Safari or Internet Explorer, the default browsers on Apple and Microsoft systems respectively, are statistically less effective at their jobs compared to those who use browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
This may seem like an arbitrary correlation, but the reasoning behind it is quite insightful. It is hypothesized that the choice to stick with a default browser, rather than exploring alternatives, could be an indicator of a person's willingness to accept the status quo without question. On the other hand, those who choose to use non-default browsers like Firefox or Chrome, demonstrate a propensity for questioning defaults and seeking out better alternatives. This characteristic could make them more successful in their jobs, as they are more likely to challenge existing norms and strive for continuous improvement.
This is less about browsers and more about hiring people who would question why things are they way they are.
