Screw it, this is ready enough to post (maybe). Usual probably-stuffed-with-errors disclaimer applies
Wow, those last frames kicked me in the jiggly bits, took longer than I was expecting. Looks ok to me though (at last)
I hope, for part 4, I can finally start dragging some actual plot (...storyline, guys) into the mix. Crank things up a notch. We'll see.
They are taking a while, each of these comics. It's partially due to time (lack of) and partially due to my apparent inability to focus when time is available. Damnit, brain. What are you for? On to the next one.
Anyway, as before, big thanks to , , and for their designs of Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer respectively!

I could tell which was which, exept for the one with the blue and orange mane and sarcasm. Was she supposed to be based on Skyfire or Rockmelt?

Her name is Saffire and she's Safari.

Awesome.
DerpyIE Ivy is so awesome, totaly Derpy Hoove's sister in the scene where the argument just makes her sad.

This is officially epic. I love Sapphire the best, btw.
And Ivy is damn funny. She doesn't look that smart, I wonder why...

Why can't actual browsers be that awesome?

What have we learned about visiting random websites?

The art in the last panels is outstanding, and the story is very promising, I'm eager to know what will happen next!

I like how Chrome and Firefox are in front. The humor is clever, I legitimately didn't see some of the jokes coming.

Epic, sheer epicness.

Chrome is definitely my favorite character here, mainly because she has the best artwork in my opinion.

Is it terrible that, probably because of my computer programming background, I find this far more enjoyable than what most others would? XD
Interested to see where you take this! :>

Hmm... meh. The art is great, and the concept is fantastic, but... what's with the characters? I can't stand stories like these where the characters are so snarky, mean, and demeaning toward each other that you wonder why they even hang out together. It's, like, the complete opposite of MLP: FiM. This isn't friendship, it's abuse!
I can't recall a single nice thing any of the other web browser ponies have said to Saffire. Why does she stay with them? Why does she care? Why should the reader care?

Thanks for the feedback! Those are some very good questions, I was waiting for a comment like this because I anticipated some would feel this way.
In the context of the story, they've been in each other's company for less than an hour. I really wouldn't interpret their behaviour as the complete wall-to-wall coverage of their characters 
As to how snarky/mean/abusive it is, that depends on your interpretation. Try changing the intonation of the dialogue in your head and see how dramatic a different it makes.
I think this highlights differences in how people like to socialise, and how they interpret social cues, and that's interesting to me. You and I probably wouldn't hang out with the same groups of people, haha.
Please do expect this to be different to the tenants of MLP:FIM. It is meant to be, and will show in later comics. The differences between FIM and this series can be compared to the differences between the real world and the Internet. It's a different place, there are different rules, etc.
Thanks for the feedback again, an interesting subject!

Okay, well, thanks for getting back to me on it. But yeah, I can see Chromia's enjoying the jibes. I'm just worried about Saffire's feelings. Doesn't look like she enjoys it.
Or, is this like the interactions of the reds and blues in the show Red versus Blue, where they trade barbs like there's no tomorrow most of the time, but really come together when it matters?
And on that note, if you've never seen that show before, I highly suggest it. I think you could get a lot of material from it.

You nailed it. I wish I thought of that description instead of the essay I posted, haha. I love that show.
I haven't kept up with it since the early days (back when they were still filming with Halo 1 and transitioning to Halo 2). There's been a lot more since, I know... perhaps I should get involved again. Those early episodes were just brilliant, though.

Aw, sweet. Your comic just got 20% more awesome to me.
Also yeah, you should really get back into the show. While their actual humor has slackened somewhat since about... season 5 I'd say, their storytelling and character work has grown by leaps and bounds. Totally worth it.
Also also, from now on I will be reading Ivy with Caboose's voice. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh god. You're right.
Ivy. Is. Caboose. There are actually a lot of parallels, I think. Like Caboose, she's not stupid, but her behaviour is wildly inconsistent with her environment and even herself. Two comics ago she is lamenting, in perfectly good English, the grammatical deficiencies of a meme she found. Then she goes and says crap like she does halfway through the above one.
Bahaha!
Caboose had the best voice acting as well. The pacing and the tone of voice, the way he said just about anything made it a million times funnier than if it were delivered 'normally'.

A lot of relationships are based on making fun of one another, but in a friendly way. And these comics are made to represent the browsers as ponies and more specifically to jab at there individual flaws.
lighten up.

Solaris does kinda have a point, though. With all the sarcasm these ponies dole out, it's very difficult to believe that they are actually friends. It's almost as if a mysterious force from the third dimension is forcing them to interact with each other for the sake of entertaining an audience, or something.
