Hi all, I wrote this article, and I'm wanting to hear thoughts from the developer community about interactive email, and Google's AMP for Email as I write part 2 of the article.

Thank you to everyone who contributed. There were 205 total responses to the survey.

For "Would you describe today's DESKTOP browsers as 'Innovative'?": Yes = 29% No = 71%

For "Would you describe today's MOBILE browsers as 'Innovative'?": Yes = 14% No = 86%

However, the "No" category includes those who feel that the browser doesn't need to be innovative, and is simply a viewing mechanism.

Actually, keeping the response open-ended has been very valuable in understanding how people interpret "innovation" in this context. In the linked survey, there is an open-ended comment box where you can explain your definition.

Yes, they will be posted back to Hacker News.

Sure, I'm an entrepreneur and fellow Hacker News reader (not a polling agency) looking to get people's thoughts about the state of the browser industry. All responses are anonymous.

So the concern about "innovation" within the context of a browser is that can disrupt how they currently work. That being said, do you think that the separate plugins and applications out there are innovative?

So your feeling is that the browser is more of an invisible delivery mechanism, and not intended to provide anything other than taking you to your chosen web experience. Is that correct?

Thanks evmar, we're getting a really good response size here, and are focusing on the moment on the developer/technophile type of users on this site.

Someone asked what "innovative" means. It's purely up to your definition of the word... but feel free to add comments to explain your thoughts.

Thanks for the survey responses everyone, and please keep them coming!

Are you happy with your choice of browsers today? Do you feel that browser innovation is moving forward quickly enough? Please sound off and take this quick survey.

Thanks for trying PolyBrowser. We were shooting to make PolyBrowser work even on setups like yours (trackpad, no mouse). You can still use Ctrl +/- to zoom in and out, and Control Tab to switch tabs, plus drag with the right mouse button. Thanks so much for the screenshots of those issues!

If you could send screenshots of the error, that would be perfect. Send to (email removed).
